(01:28):
how you doing.
Speaker 1 (01:29):
I am so good. I'm happy to be here. Brandon,
thank you well.
Speaker 2 (01:33):
Appreciate you being here too. You're kind of kicking us
off for the week. You're like batting leadoff. That's that
old sports analogy. I use a lot of times that
you're batting leadoff. So that's a good thing this week.
Hearing on Monday, ready to kind of get things going
and see what the rest of the week has in store.
So love your music, so we appreciate you being here too.
Speaker 3 (01:49):
Well.
Speaker 2 (01:49):
Tell us a little bit about you know yourself out
there as far as an artist and the connection to
music because I love these songs. You can't wait to
play for the listeners today for this, you know, mid
September here looking back, but talk about just growing up
and you know you as an artist and that connection
to music.
Speaker 4 (02:05):
I want to hear that story, all right.
Speaker 1 (02:07):
So for me, music was always around me. My mom
is a songbird, My grandmother is a songbird. She loved
writing music. My grandmother and my mom would sing me
these songs when I was a little girl and tell
me the stories behind them, and quickly my brain kind
of internalized and interpreted that as Okay, when you experience
(02:31):
something or you have a story to tell, you can
make it into a song. And so I had been
doing that for honestly as long as I can remember.
Probably the earliest I remember is about like around seven,
and it was something I always kept to myself. It
was something I never really shared. And it wasn't until
(02:53):
I had an experience at around twenty three where I
went abroad I was teaching.
Speaker 5 (02:58):
I was on the course of.
Speaker 1 (03:02):
You know, getting my decks in a row with what
I wanted to do for my career, and music wasn't
really a part of that. Music was always a part
of my life. But I never really saw it being
a career for myself. It was just a joy and
of love that I had, And during that experience, I
got to witness firsthand how you know, outside of language
(03:24):
barriers and cultural differences, music is such a universal language
in itself, and it really inspired me. And from that
point forward, I thought, what if I kind of a
what if I could amalgamate the two, and I.
Speaker 5 (03:38):
Started sharing it openly. But music for me.
Speaker 1 (03:43):
Has always been something I turned to when I'm sad.
I would say something I turned to when I need
that pick me up. It's how I start my days,
putting on a playlist, dancing around while I get ready.
It's definitely a moodlifter and at the same time a
place that I find and space for healing as well.
(04:04):
So it's something that those are all aspects that I
find really important when I create my own art too.
Speaker 2 (04:11):
You know, we look at this world now as and
now I'm go ahad and say it too negative for
a lot of things, And I know a lot of
different factors do that, and we're trying to keep it
more positive now these days and make things just enjoy
life because we never know, you know, when our last
day is coming, and I'm like you music kind of
starts with me in the morning. I'm usually at the gym,
you know, five am and turning on just anything that
(04:32):
allows me to feel good. And that's the thing about
it is, you guys are artists. You can create a
lot of things out there for people and for the listener,
but the beautiful part about it is making people feel
something right and change the way they think, the way
they feel and almost just kind of like a going
down a good highway and staying in your lane and
just enjoying life. And that's what is so good about
(04:56):
your music is the fact that you know, I can
feel something when I listen to it, and I'm sure
you want to live start to feel that way too,
right I do.
Speaker 1 (05:03):
I am someone who's very overtly happy and very optimistic,
glass half full type of girl, but I definitely have
a very sensitive side to me. And I love that
music allows me to take some of my not so happy,
upbeat moments and turn it into something that I'm excited about,
(05:26):
you know. And then when it gets to connect with people,
and sometimes I go through moments where I'm like, you know,
I'm writing music, this is something I'll always do.
Speaker 5 (05:36):
I've always done it. Do people really care?
Speaker 1 (05:40):
And when you get messages and connect with people even
like yourself that connect with the music, you know, that's
what it's all about. Just kind of giving people the opportunity,
I don't want to say, kind of giving people the
opportunity to make sense of the things that they're feeling
(06:00):
and just feel a little bit lighter.
Speaker 4 (06:06):
Yeah, and like I said, you know, get to the
gym at five am. I'm just kidding.
Speaker 2 (06:08):
That's not for everybody, but I will say you can
put on this song We're gonna play now here on
the Sports Guys podcast dot com part of the Backstage Past.

Sitting on in the darkened red driveway, heal in his heart,

podcast dot com a grand slam of music sports entertainment.

brand new website out there to in our friends. iHeartRadio
(11:49):
podcasts and th WN dot org. So I love this
one to mention about working out this morning, Megan, how
it made me feel life is kind of that way
because you can look down and mentioned about saying it
lane and going left to going right and having music,
you know, cheer you up make you feel something. And
for me bittersweet, did it talk about just a backstory
and the writing of this one too, and how this
(12:10):
made you feel when you guys came up with the idea.
Speaker 5 (12:12):
Thank you for.
Speaker 1 (12:13):
Saying that the song is all about just coming to
peace with the fact that things don't always work out
the way we want them to and that's okay. And
it's through those moments, those difficult moments of self reflection,
that we really get to figure out who we are
and sometimes what we want isn't always what's best for us.
(12:35):
And so in writing that song, it was all about
just making peace with change, making peace with change that
we don't always want, and knowing that even if we
don't see it in the moment, it is for our
highest good.
Speaker 3 (12:51):
You know.
Speaker 2 (12:51):
I go back to even your first album you put out.
This was then that particular record that came out in
twenty twenty, and I love the titles of song song
is it just You're like Man? That's a great title.
I want to go ahead and just you know, punch
that up and go and turn that on and listen
to it. One in particular, to focus in off of
that record, Heart of a Lion, talk about that one for.
Speaker 5 (13:09):
Me, Thank you so.
Speaker 1 (13:11):
Heart of a Lion was a song that I had
written with a man named Keith Thomas. I was freshly
coming to Nashville. I had an opportunity to write with him,
and he started playing the piano and as he was
playing it, I just envisioned this story.
Speaker 5 (13:28):
This picture.
Speaker 1 (13:29):
So this isn't based on my own personal experience, but
it's funny because as I've gotten older and as time
has passed, I realized that we can all relate to
that person where we have moments where we have to
be strong and put on, you know, our strong face
and show up and people don't always really know what's
going on deep down. And it was so cool because
(13:52):
as he was playing the piano, I just envisioned this
person that does exactly that, that puts on that strong face,
that has you know, seems as though they have it
all together, but internally they're crumbling. And it was a really,
really amazing experience. And it's what led me to coming
(14:14):
to Nashville is that song. So it's interesting that you
brought that up and that it's set out to you.
Speaker 2 (14:20):
As an artist, talk about some of the challenges, because
none of this game is easy when it comes down
to it, trying to separate yourself from other artists and
the competition out there because now it's even country, and
you see the crossover now with you know, pop coming
over to country and country going the other way in
that same direction too, and then you look at all
these collaborations. Now give me some of the challenges you
(14:40):
face as an artist in this industry that maybe fans
don't see.
Speaker 1 (14:44):
Honestly, my biggest challenge is my own mind. I truly
believe that if we all work to be the best
version of ourselves, there will be no one else like us,
and we will stand out. You know, there's already the
Taylor Swift, there's already the Billie Eilish, there's already the Adele.
When we try to emulate these people, that's when things
get a little bit muddy. That's when we get hard
(15:05):
on ourselves and become, you know, caught up in our
heads about what we should do, what we shouldn't do, what's.
Speaker 5 (15:11):
Right, what's wrong.
Speaker 1 (15:12):
I truly believe that just following our gut and figuring out,
you know, tuning out or parting me drowning out all
the outside noise, and asking ourselves what do we want
and how do we want this to feel, and not
making decisions based on what we think other people will like.
I think that that is when you know me personally.
(15:35):
I've even made tracks in the past, and I'm constantly
or I was constantly considering. It's good to consider people's
opinions and thoughts, but if it doesn't feel right to
you and you go for it, that's when you have regrets.
I think it's better to look back and wish you
(15:55):
did something differently, but have a lesson. Not it was
your own, then wonder what would have haden and if
you did it your way. And so I've learned this
by just going through and show the whole journey and
the path and showing up. But truthfully, my own mind
has been the biggest struggle for me, and I truly
(16:16):
believe that if I just continue to work to be
the best version of myself and to make art that
is authentic to me, that's all that matters. You know,
streams and all that stuff, those are bonuses. But when
you can create something from your heart and you can
share it and look back at the work that you
(16:37):
did and know that you took the steps to take
it from your mind and actually put it out into
the world, that is such a huge accomplishment. And so
although there are so many artists out there, I believe
that there is space for everybody. As long as we
work on being ourselves, we will find that space.
Speaker 2 (16:59):
Yea, I will say too authenticity part of it becomes
that way too, because I took a risk, you know,
six years ago when I started doing this show, and
I'm like, you know what, you got this semi sort
of talent. You might want to put it out there
to the world and let's figure out how to do
this thing called a podcast. And like man took some
of the advice of what you just said. I'm like,
you know what, care about streams and this and this,
and just see where it goes. But if I don't
(17:20):
put it out there, I'll never know. And of course
I had a great radio background for years already I
kind of knew what I was doing. I still put
it out there and try it there too at the
same time. But those are words of kind of wisdom
and inspiration for people. So I love hearing you you
say that about you know, if it doesn't materialize what
it is done for me and I thank God for
everything we've been able to accomplish with this show. But
I love sharing it just as as much because maybe
(17:42):
some fans don't see that with you know, you guys
as artists, because how hard you guys work in the
studio songwriting. Songwriting is not easy. It's for some people
that comes natural, and some people, you know, they don't
enjoy the process. Do you enjoy that process of being
I guess creative arts like songwriting.
Speaker 1 (17:59):
I love it I always say that I don't sing
to share or I don't like write to hear myself sing.
I sing to share what I write. And if I
wasn't so passionate about the songs I wrote, I would
not be an artist at all.
Speaker 5 (18:11):
I love writing.
Speaker 1 (18:13):
And I just have these moments and these bursts of
emotion or feeling like kind of in your chest and
your body where you're like, I need to write about that,
or something happens in my life and I want to
write about it.
Speaker 5 (18:25):
Or I love writing. I love writing.
Speaker 1 (18:29):
Through and through, and it's honestly why I've pursued an
artistries my love of writing.
Speaker 2 (18:34):
Well, we're going to take people back a little bit
to March of this year. I believe it came out
March fourteenth in Another Life from Megan Nadine. If you
guys want to follow her Meghan Nadine in adi dot comics,

some follows on social media, and stream the music here again,
present it by a friends over at JK Superu. Your

It was named October.
Speaker 5 (19:13):
It was come.
Speaker 7 (19:14):
My heart was colder whilst built up so high, they
reached the moon and your Argentine no ends. They came
around the amplo, hiding the soulcar of.
Speaker 6 (19:27):
A heart running on fumes.
Speaker 7 (19:31):
I could blame it on the vinyls spinning like the room,
blame it on my house. I knew it comes between
us soon. I felt just like a child, bright chiny
in new But then the gene was trampled by the truth,
(19:51):
like it started to sing a chorus right at the
wrong time, like you're trying to spit the words sound
but you're choking on the rides, like you're sitting in
your new car. The just will fucking chive like you planet,
all the flowers just to ochen die in my their life,
(20:18):
maybe it'd be mine. He was right. December we were changing,
like the weather. Your was good. This min started to fall,
wagon through it down to market. Held your hand inside
(20:38):
your pocket that night, did you said to jump? I
gladly risk it up. I could blame it on the
fine ones spinning like the room, blame it on the miles.
I knew it come between the soon I felt just
like a child, bright, chiny new, But then the dreams
(21:01):
trampled by the truth. Are you sorry to sing the
chorus right at the wrong time, like you're trying to
spit the words out, but you're choking on the rams
like you're sitting in your new car. The trust will
fucking jove, like you've.
Speaker 8 (21:19):
Planted all the flowers.
Speaker 1 (21:22):
Trust to watch down.
Speaker 7 (21:27):
And none know the love has such a raise your
homes and you if you stayed for just a little while,
I know that I could clear your head up to
(21:47):
But if life has taught me anything, I'm not the
one to fix the thing as you need to take
the time to figure out it burns me to the
third degree. Just knowing that hard Time's not like when
(22:10):
you start to sing the chorus right at the wrong time,
or you're trying to spit the words out, but you're
choking on the riess like you're sitting in your new car,
the just mo fucking drive, like you planet all the.
Speaker 8 (22:26):
Flowers chose to watch them now? Is hard to sell
right at the wrong time. You're trying to spit the
but you're choking on the road.

Speaker 2 (26:45):
At the same time, let's talk about this one I
mentioned came out there in March in Another Life.
Speaker 1 (26:50):
All right, So, and Another Life was a song that
came to me.
Speaker 5 (26:55):
I hope we were talking about earlier.
Speaker 1 (26:57):
You know, in these moments of inspiration, you just feel
like getting things out. I was in a romantic relationship
with a very sweet man.
Speaker 5 (27:07):
We're still friends, and it just wasn't working, you know.
Speaker 1 (27:15):
And I had decided that it was best that we
be friends and remain friends, and he just wasn't really
ready to not to put his stuff out there. I'll
put my stuff out there too. Really, we both weren't
ready to be in a relationship. We both had our
own stuff to work on.
Speaker 5 (27:35):
I was just so angry.
Speaker 1 (27:37):
I was so angry that he was so open to
pursuing something with me when he didn't even know if love,
a long term love could work. He had like all
these past things, and he wanted to you know, he
still wanted to date, and he still wanted to go
with the flow. But me, I was in a a
point and position where I've been in long term relationships
(27:58):
and because I'm getting older, I don't want to invest
my time into something where I know it could just
you know, one day, Oh this isn't working, and that
does happen, but when you're already kind of going into
the relationship kind of on eggshells and having that fear.
I believe in true love. My parents have been together
for forty years. I have a great example of it,
and so I wasn't willing to take time away from
(28:22):
you know, growing a life. I want for myself to
invest into someone that didn't really know themselves.
Speaker 5 (28:29):
It just didn't feel right.
Speaker 1 (28:30):
But I had a lot of angst and upset that
it had gotten as far as it did when he
had those feelings, and so I wanted to write a
song that let him know because we were friends, and
because I didn't want that animosity and I had no animosity,
but I guess there was a little bit of resentment there,
(28:50):
and I just wanted to write a song that when
he heard it, he would know it was about him,
and he would know how I felt about it. I
mean down to the dates, like we met in.
Speaker 5 (28:59):
Mid Occo and we in December.
Speaker 1 (29:04):
That's like when I mean it sounds so fast, right
October to decembery Pikes. But we had so many weird
little connections like mutual friends and things that would align.
And as someone who has dated, you know, seriously in
the past, it just felt right.
Speaker 5 (29:20):
And because I.
Speaker 1 (29:21):
Believe in taking that leap, I was more you know, open,
I guess, and I wrote it so specifically, like walking
through the downtown market that happened. Everything in the song happened,
and so that was really fun. Going back to the
songwriting piece, I love finding ways to say to tell
(29:43):
stories in new ways as well, Like the old car
of a heart running on fumes I remember in my
room and I'm like, oh, and it just came out
like that's I believe I'm just a vessel because some
of the stuff I write, I'm like, what like that,
that's good, like not to boast.
Speaker 5 (30:02):
But it's not me. It's not me.
Speaker 1 (30:04):
I'm just the vessel. And so it was a really
fun one to write, and it helped me kind of
get into my creative process again. I produced it and
that was really fun. I'm producing my music again, so
that was fun. I got to work with my friend
Josh Northwood, who's located in the UK. He had reached
out to me actually in twenty nineteen for the first
(30:26):
time and then and you know how.
Speaker 5 (30:28):
Sometimes they go to your requests, so I didn't see it.
Speaker 1 (30:31):
And then he reached out to me again in twenty
twenty one and then in twenty twenty three, and I
had seen it, and we got on a zoom and
started talking, and I felt like he'd be the perfect
person because I wanted everything to be live. I really
think that there's something special about when there's live instruments happening.
(30:52):
Midy's fun and I love that we have, you know,
all that technology at our fingertips, but there's something that's
unbeatable about a real, raw, authentic.
Speaker 5 (31:01):
Instrument.
Speaker 1 (31:02):
And so we got together and we went back and
forth and we created a piece of art that I'm
proud of.
Speaker 2 (31:12):
You should be too, and that makes you think about
this is the title of that one in another life,
And of course we could look at all aspects of
life from that lens, right there too, or through that
optic too at the same time, and just really kind
of look back and makes you think about a lot
of different things out there too. But what a great
masterpiece and a great piece of music composed, very well done.
Let me ask you about this as far as Nashville goes,
you know, we go there every year for the country
(31:33):
radio seminar that they do usually in the I guess
winter to Spring now, which will be March, thank god
they moved it back to March, and then CMA Fest
which is always in June, to meet everybody and do
with these radio shows out there too.
Speaker 4 (31:46):
Looking back.
Speaker 2 (31:47):
Such a great town, so many great people there, great songwriters.
It's a great networking town for you.
Speaker 4 (31:54):
I guess.
Speaker 2 (31:54):
When you're not doing all those big things on music
in the recording studio and writing song what do you
like to do in your free time.
Speaker 5 (32:02):
I love to paint and draw.
Speaker 1 (32:06):
I love to walk and spend time outside in nature.
Walking is huge for me, finding a good trail or path.
I like to go to the gym. I like to
spend time with friends, and I like to kind of
play tourists. I mean, I'm a big believer in what
I've learned them to be known as the artist date.
Speaker 5 (32:27):
And it's from the artist's way.
Speaker 1 (32:29):
So you take yourself out on a date and no
friends can come. You can't intermingle anyone else. It has
to you, yourself and I And so I'll go take
myself for dinner. I'll go sit at the Parthenon on
a blanket and draw and I just explore. But I
(32:49):
love to spend a lot of time outside in my backyard,
just walk in with my shoes off, touch and grass,
you know.
Speaker 7 (33:00):
I do.
Speaker 5 (33:01):
And good food. I am a huge fan of good food.
Speaker 1 (33:04):
I used to apprentice to be a chef, actually at
a very young age of sixteen.
Speaker 5 (33:09):
Which is crazy.
Speaker 1 (33:10):
It started from a co op and led to an apprenticeship.
And I love finding good food. I love finding good food,
so you'll catch me eating around Nashville as well.
Speaker 4 (33:23):
What's your favorite restaurants to kind of go out and
eat it.
Speaker 1 (33:26):
I love Urban Grub. I think it's a fantastic restaurant.
The chef's wife, i've heard, is Celiac, and I'm gluten intolerant,
so it's fun to have access to yummy foods and
know that you can eat them. I love the Optimist
it has great seafood that they fly in.
Speaker 5 (33:46):
I love gosh Snooze for brunch.
Speaker 1 (33:51):
It's not local, but I do love it. It has
a great brunch and Nadine's and Hermitage. There's not much
that I can eat there is great. I mean lots
of fried foods, the Philly cheese, steaks, sandwiches and stuff
like that. But they have good breakfast bulls and a
great environment and just good people.
Speaker 4 (34:10):
Well you're a great person too.
Speaker 2 (34:11):
And it really showcases itself in the music too, and
I love it and it really it definitely got a
hold of me in a good way too, from the
gym to everything else out there. Love fitness, love working
out at the same time, and love learning about new
artists out there. It's so just infectious into that vibe
I get from the music such as Bittersweet and all
these songs we've talked about today out there too. And
(34:33):
you and I could go on and on, no doubt
about it. But I would love to have you back

Speaker 3 (01:49):
Well.
Speaker 2 (01:49):
Tell us a little bit about you know yourself out
there as far as an artist and the connection to
music because I love these songs. You can't wait to
play for the listeners today for this, you know, mid
September here looking back, but talk about just growing up
and you know you as an artist and that connection
to music.
Speaker 4 (02:05):
I want to hear that story, all right.
Speaker 1 (02:07):
So for me, music was always around me. My mom
is a songbird, My grandmother is a songbird. She loved
writing music. My grandmother and my mom would sing me
these songs when I was a little girl and tell
me the stories behind them, and quickly my brain kind
of internalized and interpreted that as Okay, when you experience
(02:31):
something or you have a story to tell, you can
make it into a song. And so I had been
doing that for honestly as long as I can remember.
Probably the earliest I remember is about like around seven,
and it was something I always kept to myself. It
was something I never really shared. And it wasn't until
(02:53):
I had an experience at around twenty three where I
went abroad I was teaching.
Speaker 5 (02:58):
I was on the course of.
Speaker 1 (03:02):
You know, getting my decks in a row with what
I wanted to do for my career, and music wasn't
really a part of that. Music was always a part
of my life. But I never really saw it being
a career for myself. It was just a joy and
of love that I had, And during that experience, I
got to witness firsthand how you know, outside of language
(03:24):
barriers and cultural differences, music is such a universal language
in itself, and it really inspired me. And from that
point forward, I thought, what if I kind of a
what if I could amalgamate the two, and I.
Speaker 5 (03:38):
Started sharing it openly. But music for me.
Speaker 1 (03:43):
Has always been something I turned to when I'm sad.
I would say something I turned to when I need
that pick me up. It's how I start my days,
putting on a playlist, dancing around while I get ready.
It's definitely a moodlifter and at the same time a
place that I find and space for healing as well.
(04:04):
So it's something that those are all aspects that I
find really important when I create my own art too.
Speaker 2 (04:11):
You know, we look at this world now as and
now I'm go ahad and say it too negative for
a lot of things, And I know a lot of
different factors do that, and we're trying to keep it
more positive now these days and make things just enjoy
life because we never know, you know, when our last
day is coming, and I'm like you music kind of
starts with me in the morning. I'm usually at the gym,
you know, five am and turning on just anything that
(04:32):
allows me to feel good. And that's the thing about
it is, you guys are artists. You can create a
lot of things out there for people and for the listener,
but the beautiful part about it is making people feel
something right and change the way they think, the way
they feel and almost just kind of like a going
down a good highway and staying in your lane and
just enjoying life. And that's what is so good about
(04:56):
your music is the fact that you know, I can
feel something when I listen to it, and I'm sure
you want to live start to feel that way too,
right I do.
Speaker 1 (05:03):
I am someone who's very overtly happy and very optimistic,
glass half full type of girl, but I definitely have
a very sensitive side to me. And I love that
music allows me to take some of my not so happy,
upbeat moments and turn it into something that I'm excited about,
(05:26):
you know. And then when it gets to connect with people,
and sometimes I go through moments where I'm like, you know,
I'm writing music, this is something I'll always do.
Speaker 5 (05:36):
I've always done it. Do people really care?
Speaker 1 (05:40):
And when you get messages and connect with people even
like yourself that connect with the music, you know, that's
what it's all about. Just kind of giving people the opportunity,
I don't want to say, kind of giving people the
opportunity to make sense of the things that they're feeling
(06:00):
and just feel a little bit lighter.
Speaker 4 (06:06):
Yeah, and like I said, you know, get to the
gym at five am. I'm just kidding.
Speaker 2 (06:08):
That's not for everybody, but I will say you can
put on this song We're gonna play now here on
the Sports Guys podcast dot com part of the Backstage Past.

Sitting on in the darkened red driveway, heal in his heart,

(11:49):

one to mention about working out this morning, Megan, how
it made me feel life is kind of that way
because you can look down and mentioned about saying it
lane and going left to going right and having music,
you know, cheer you up make you feel something. And
for me bittersweet, did it talk about just a backstory
and the writing of this one too, and how this
(12:10):
made you feel when you guys came up with the idea.
Speaker 5 (12:12):
Thank you for.
Speaker 1 (12:13):
Saying that the song is all about just coming to
peace with the fact that things don't always work out
the way we want them to and that's okay. And
it's through those moments, those difficult moments of self reflection,
that we really get to figure out who we are
and sometimes what we want isn't always what's best for us.
(12:35):
And so in writing that song, it was all about
just making peace with change, making peace with change that
we don't always want, and knowing that even if we
don't see it in the moment, it is for our
highest good.
Speaker 3 (12:51):
You know.
Speaker 2 (12:51):
I go back to even your first album you put out.
This was then that particular record that came out in
twenty twenty, and I love the titles of song song
is it just You're like Man? That's a great title.
I want to go ahead and just you know, punch
that up and go and turn that on and listen
to it. One in particular, to focus in off of
that record, Heart of a Lion, talk about that one for.
Speaker 5 (13:09):
Me, Thank you so.
Speaker 1 (13:11):
Heart of a Lion was a song that I had
written with a man named Keith Thomas. I was freshly
coming to Nashville. I had an opportunity to write with him,
and he started playing the piano and as he was
playing it, I just envisioned this story.
Speaker 5 (13:28):
This picture.
Speaker 1 (13:29):
So this isn't based on my own personal experience, but
it's funny because as I've gotten older and as time
has passed, I realized that we can all relate to
that person where we have moments where we have to
be strong and put on, you know, our strong face
and show up and people don't always really know what's
going on deep down. And it was so cool because
(13:52):
as he was playing the piano, I just envisioned this
person that does exactly that, that puts on that strong face,
that has you know, seems as though they have it
all together, but internally they're crumbling. And it was a really,
really amazing experience. And it's what led me to coming
(14:14):
to Nashville is that song. So it's interesting that you
brought that up and that it's set out to you.
Speaker 2 (14:20):
As an artist, talk about some of the challenges, because
none of this game is easy when it comes down
to it, trying to separate yourself from other artists and
the competition out there because now it's even country, and
you see the crossover now with you know, pop coming
over to country and country going the other way in
that same direction too, and then you look at all
these collaborations. Now give me some of the challenges you
(14:40):
face as an artist in this industry that maybe fans
don't see.
Speaker 1 (14:44):
Honestly, my biggest challenge is my own mind. I truly
believe that if we all work to be the best
version of ourselves, there will be no one else like us,
and we will stand out. You know, there's already the
Taylor Swift, there's already the Billie Eilish, there's already the Adele.
When we try to emulate these people, that's when things
get a little bit muddy. That's when we get hard
(15:05):
on ourselves and become, you know, caught up in our
heads about what we should do, what we shouldn't do, what's.
Speaker 5 (15:11):
Right, what's wrong.
Speaker 1 (15:12):
I truly believe that just following our gut and figuring out,
you know, tuning out or parting me drowning out all
the outside noise, and asking ourselves what do we want
and how do we want this to feel, and not
making decisions based on what we think other people will like.
I think that that is when you know me personally.
(15:35):
I've even made tracks in the past, and I'm constantly
or I was constantly considering. It's good to consider people's
opinions and thoughts, but if it doesn't feel right to
you and you go for it, that's when you have regrets.
I think it's better to look back and wish you
(15:55):
did something differently, but have a lesson. Not it was
your own, then wonder what would have haden and if
you did it your way. And so I've learned this
by just going through and show the whole journey and
the path and showing up. But truthfully, my own mind
has been the biggest struggle for me, and I truly
(16:16):
believe that if I just continue to work to be
the best version of myself and to make art that
is authentic to me, that's all that matters. You know,
streams and all that stuff, those are bonuses. But when
you can create something from your heart and you can
share it and look back at the work that you
(16:37):
did and know that you took the steps to take
it from your mind and actually put it out into
the world, that is such a huge accomplishment. And so
although there are so many artists out there, I believe
that there is space for everybody. As long as we
work on being ourselves, we will find that space.
Speaker 2 (16:59):
Yea, I will say too authenticity part of it becomes
that way too, because I took a risk, you know,
six years ago when I started doing this show, and
I'm like, you know what, you got this semi sort
of talent. You might want to put it out there
to the world and let's figure out how to do
this thing called a podcast. And like man took some
of the advice of what you just said. I'm like,
you know what, care about streams and this and this,
and just see where it goes. But if I don't
(17:20):
put it out there, I'll never know. And of course
I had a great radio background for years already I
kind of knew what I was doing. I still put
it out there and try it there too at the
same time. But those are words of kind of wisdom
and inspiration for people. So I love hearing you you
say that about you know, if it doesn't materialize what
it is done for me and I thank God for
everything we've been able to accomplish with this show. But
I love sharing it just as as much because maybe
(17:42):
some fans don't see that with you know, you guys
as artists, because how hard you guys work in the
studio songwriting. Songwriting is not easy. It's for some people
that comes natural, and some people, you know, they don't
enjoy the process. Do you enjoy that process of being
I guess creative arts like songwriting.
Speaker 1 (17:59):
I love it I always say that I don't sing
to share or I don't like write to hear myself sing.
I sing to share what I write. And if I
wasn't so passionate about the songs I wrote, I would
not be an artist at all.
Speaker 5 (18:11):
I love writing.
Speaker 1 (18:13):
And I just have these moments and these bursts of
emotion or feeling like kind of in your chest and
your body where you're like, I need to write about that,
or something happens in my life and I want to
write about it.
Speaker 5 (18:25):
Or I love writing. I love writing.
Speaker 1 (18:29):
Through and through, and it's honestly why I've pursued an
artistries my love of writing.
Speaker 2 (18:34):

Speaker 7 (19:14):
My heart was colder whilst built up so high, they
reached the moon and your Argentine no ends. They came
around the amplo, hiding the soulcar of.
Speaker 6 (19:27):
A heart running on fumes.
Speaker 7 (19:31):
I could blame it on the vinyls spinning like the room,
blame it on my house. I knew it comes between
us soon. I felt just like a child, bright chiny
in new But then the gene was trampled by the truth,
(19:51):
like it started to sing a chorus right at the
wrong time, like you're trying to spit the words sound
but you're choking on the rides, like you're sitting in
your new car. The just will fucking chive like you planet,
all the flowers just to ochen die in my their life,
(20:18):
maybe it'd be mine. He was right. December we were changing,
like the weather. Your was good. This min started to fall,
wagon through it down to market. Held your hand inside
(20:38):
your pocket that night, did you said to jump? I
gladly risk it up. I could blame it on the
fine ones spinning like the room, blame it on the miles.
I knew it come between the soon I felt just
like a child, bright, chiny new, But then the dreams
(21:01):
trampled by the truth. Are you sorry to sing the
chorus right at the wrong time, like you're trying to
spit the words out, but you're choking on the rams
like you're sitting in your new car. The trust will
fucking jove, like you've.
Speaker 8 (21:19):
Planted all the flowers.
Speaker 1 (21:22):
Trust to watch down.
Speaker 7 (21:27):
And none know the love has such a raise your
homes and you if you stayed for just a little while,
I know that I could clear your head up to
(21:47):
But if life has taught me anything, I'm not the
one to fix the thing as you need to take
the time to figure out it burns me to the
third degree. Just knowing that hard Time's not like when

or you're trying to spit the words out, but you're
choking on the riess like you're sitting in your new car,

Speaker 4 (26:43):
We expelled it for you here on the show too.
Speaker 2 (26:45):
At the same time, let's talk about this one I
mentioned came out there in March in Another Life.
Speaker 1 (26:50):
All right, So, and Another Life was a song that
came to me.
Speaker 5 (26:55):
I hope we were talking about earlier.
Speaker 1 (26:57):
You know, in these moments of inspiration, you just feel
like getting things out. I was in a romantic relationship
with a very sweet man.
Speaker 5 (27:07):
We're still friends, and it just wasn't working, you know.
Speaker 1 (27:15):
And I had decided that it was best that we
be friends and remain friends, and he just wasn't really
ready to not to put his stuff out there. I'll
put my stuff out there too. Really, we both weren't
ready to be in a relationship. We both had our
own stuff to work on.
Speaker 5 (27:35):
I was just so angry.
Speaker 1 (27:37):
I was so angry that he was so open to
pursuing something with me when he didn't even know if love,
a long term love could work. He had like all
these past things, and he wanted to you know, he
still wanted to date, and he still wanted to go
with the flow. But me, I was in a a
point and position where I've been in long term relationships
(27:58):
and because I'm getting older, I don't want to invest
my time into something where I know it could just
you know, one day, Oh this isn't working, and that
does happen, but when you're already kind of going into
the relationship kind of on eggshells and having that fear.
I believe in true love. My parents have been together
for forty years. I have a great example of it,
and so I wasn't willing to take time away from
(28:22):
you know, growing a life. I want for myself to
invest into someone that didn't really know themselves.
Speaker 5 (28:29):
It just didn't feel right.
Speaker 1 (28:30):
But I had a lot of angst and upset that
it had gotten as far as it did when he
had those feelings, and so I wanted to write a
song that let him know because we were friends, and
because I didn't want that animosity and I had no animosity,
but I guess there was a little bit of resentment there,
(28:50):
and I just wanted to write a song that when
he heard it, he would know it was about him,
and he would know how I felt about it. I
mean down to the dates, like we met in.
Speaker 5 (28:59):
Mid Occo and we in December.
Speaker 1 (29:04):
That's like when I mean it sounds so fast, right
October to decembery Pikes. But we had so many weird
little connections like mutual friends and things that would align.
And as someone who has dated, you know, seriously in
the past, it just felt right.
Speaker 5 (29:20):
And because I.
Speaker 1 (29:21):
Believe in taking that leap, I was more you know, open,
I guess, and I wrote it so specifically, like walking
through the downtown market that happened. Everything in the song happened,
and so that was really fun. Going back to the
songwriting piece, I love finding ways to say to tell
(29:43):
stories in new ways as well, Like the old car
of a heart running on fumes I remember in my
room and I'm like, oh, and it just came out
like that's I believe I'm just a vessel because some
of the stuff I write, I'm like, what like that,
that's good, like not to boast.
Speaker 5 (30:02):
But it's not me. It's not me.
Speaker 1 (30:04):
I'm just the vessel. And so it was a really
fun one to write, and it helped me kind of
get into my creative process again. I produced it and
that was really fun. I'm producing my music again, so
that was fun. I got to work with my friend
Josh Northwood, who's located in the UK. He had reached
out to me actually in twenty nineteen for the first
(30:26):
time and then and you know how.
Speaker 5 (30:28):
Sometimes they go to your requests, so I didn't see it.
Speaker 1 (30:31):
And then he reached out to me again in twenty
twenty one and then in twenty twenty three, and I
had seen it, and we got on a zoom and
started talking, and I felt like he'd be the perfect
person because I wanted everything to be live. I really
think that there's something special about when there's live instruments happening.
(30:52):
Midy's fun and I love that we have, you know,
all that technology at our fingertips, but there's something that's
unbeatable about a real, raw, authentic.
Speaker 5 (31:01):
Instrument.
Speaker 1 (31:02):
And so we got together and we went back and
forth and we created a piece of art that I'm
proud of.
Speaker 2 (31:12):
You should be too, and that makes you think about
this is the title of that one in another life,
And of course we could look at all aspects of
life from that lens, right there too, or through that
optic too at the same time, and just really kind
of look back and makes you think about a lot
of different things out there too. But what a great
masterpiece and a great piece of music composed, very well done.
Let me ask you about this as far as Nashville goes,
you know, we go there every year for the country
(31:33):
radio seminar that they do usually in the I guess
winter to Spring now, which will be March, thank god
they moved it back to March, and then CMA Fest
which is always in June, to meet everybody and do
with these radio shows out there too.
Speaker 4 (31:46):
Looking back.
Speaker 2 (31:47):
Such a great town, so many great people there, great songwriters.
It's a great networking town for you.
Speaker 4 (31:54):
I guess.
Speaker 2 (31:54):
When you're not doing all those big things on music
in the recording studio and writing song what do you
like to do in your free time.
Speaker 5 (32:02):
I love to paint and draw.
Speaker 1 (32:06):
I love to walk and spend time outside in nature.
Walking is huge for me, finding a good trail or path.
I like to go to the gym. I like to
spend time with friends, and I like to kind of
play tourists. I mean, I'm a big believer in what
I've learned them to be known as the artist date.
Speaker 5 (32:27):
And it's from the artist's way.
Speaker 1 (32:29):
So you take yourself out on a date and no
friends can come. You can't intermingle anyone else. It has
to you, yourself and I And so I'll go take
myself for dinner. I'll go sit at the Parthenon on
a blanket and draw and I just explore. But I
(32:49):
love to spend a lot of time outside in my backyard,
just walk in with my shoes off, touch and grass,
you know.
Speaker 7 (33:00):
I do.
Speaker 5 (33:01):
And good food. I am a huge fan of good food.
Speaker 1 (33:04):
I used to apprentice to be a chef, actually at
a very young age of sixteen.
Speaker 5 (33:09):
Which is crazy.
Speaker 1 (33:10):
It started from a co op and led to an apprenticeship.
And I love finding good food. I love finding good food,
so you'll catch me eating around Nashville as well.
Speaker 4 (33:23):
What's your favorite restaurants to kind of go out and
eat it.
Speaker 1 (33:26):
I love Urban Grub. I think it's a fantastic restaurant.
The chef's wife, i've heard, is Celiac, and I'm gluten intolerant,
so it's fun to have access to yummy foods and
know that you can eat them. I love the Optimist
it has great seafood that they fly in.
Speaker 5 (33:46):
I love gosh Snooze for brunch.
Speaker 1 (33:51):
It's not local, but I do love it. It has
a great brunch and Nadine's and Hermitage. There's not much
that I can eat there is great. I mean lots
of fried foods, the Philly cheese, steaks, sandwiches and stuff
like that. But they have good breakfast bulls and a
great environment and just good people.
Speaker 4 (34:10):
Well you're a great person too.
Speaker 2 (34:11):
And it really showcases itself in the music too, and
I love it and it really it definitely got a
hold of me in a good way too, from the
gym to everything else out there. Love fitness, love working
out at the same time, and love learning about new
artists out there. It's so just infectious into that vibe
I get from the music such as Bittersweet and all
these songs we've talked about today out there too. And
(34:33):
you and I could go on and on, no doubt
about it. But I would love to have you back
here on the show. Appreciate you being with us. Invite
everybody to check it out. Megan Nadine dot Com out
there too, and Bittersweet, the current single across all the
DSPs appreciate you being here and thanks for showcasing yourself

have you come back anytime too to tell that story again,
(34:53):
and we'd love to play new music.
Speaker 1 (34:55):
Thanks so much, Thank you so much for having me,
and I would be happy to chat with you.
Speaker 5 (35:00):
You're awesome.
Speaker 2 (35:01):
You got it, Megan Nadine out there across all those DSPs,
