Have you ever heard a song so good you didn't just admire the writer, but also envied the fact that they came up with it?

In the most recent episode of the Soundfly podcast, Themes and Variation, Carter and Mahea are joined by pop artist and multi-instrumentalist, Sulene van der Walt to discuss the theme "Songs I Wish I'd Written."

This time around, the discussion is anchored by selections from the catalogs of Andy Shauf, Rufus Wainwright, and Irving Berlin. Said selections cover topics like social anxiety, youthful infatuation, and nostalgic longing.

Themes and Variation is presented by Soundfly, a music education website changing the way we build our creative skills :
