An honour to have Emira give of her time and vulnerability this week. I have to admit it, I was surprisingly moved by listening to What a Feeling, while mixing the show.
I found it really strange to hear something that I'd heard so many times associated with true emotion rather than mocked for being ubiquitous or silly (even if it might actually be both). As always, I'd encourage you to spend a few minutes listening to the entire song either before or after you listen to the episode (or even both).
As Emira mentioned, she is a writer in addition to being a lawyer. Her essays can be found on her blog Montreal Murmurs or in the pieces she wrote as the the CBC/Quebec Writers' Federation Writer in residence. Her work has also appeared in The Montreal Gazette and The Globe and Mail. Emira's storytelling has also been featured at a Montreal Confabulation show that you can listen to here. Check out her stuff!
Make sure you follow The Volume Knob on Twitter, Instagram, Facebook or at our website volumeknob.net.
And if you have a story about the song that saved your life be sure to send it to me at volumeknobpod@gmail.com.
