Release day!
Today's episode tells the story of my latest single, the epic head bobber known as "The Road That Takes Us Home," which was released on Tuesday, June 3, 2025 and is streaming everywhere now. Nice!
The main segment covers the conceptualizing, writing and production of the song. Where did I get the ideas? What Pinegrove song inspired this one? Where was I when I came up with the lyrics? What key did it used to be in? What key is it in now? All these questions! Find the answers within!
Before I get to the main part of the episode, I catch you up on what's been going on since the previous one. There's been a lot. New student orientation! Ack!
I'd love to know what you think of the song, my podcast or just whatever. Send me an email – matt@mattkollock.com. I look forward to your correspondence!
CORRECTION: I mention Fiona Apple's classic 1999 album When The Pawn... in this episode. Unfortunately, I said it was released in 1997, an error for which I feel deep regret.
