I have talked to a lot of friends who are really focused on what the industry wants to hear or “writing a hit.” I feel like you should write music that you would want to listen to, because if it comes from the heart, it will find an audience.

I think the instrumental is the most important thing for me, and in some ways can speak more powerfully than lyrics because it isn’t as limited by language and interpretation, and can be a more raw outlet for emotion- like I’ll often think a song is about one thing from just paying attention to the instrumental and then go on genius and feel Confused. But also a well timed line in a song can hit extremely hard and remind you of the universality of human experiences or be super funny or make you feel confident, especially if it’s a song you know very well and a line you haven’t thought about much before. I have noticed that most of my favorite songs, even across genres have a similar sonic cadence and kind of gravity? If that makes sense? And that peoples favorite songs are usually attuned to a super specific wavelength that I can’t fully verbalize but encompasses their being. Sorry if thats stupid and that’s just taste but also I’m really tired.

Poet & songwriter best known as the frontman of “Silver Jews,“ and the lesser known “Purple Mountains,“ Berman has a way of exploring the beauty in the darker aspects of life. Berman tragically took his in 2019. He had such a special way with words both as a poet and a songwriter. My favorite song of his, “Famous Eyes” is linked above.

Founded in 1995, Broadcast was an English band that drew influences from 60s psychedelia, electronic, and experimental music. Following the death of their lead singer in 2011, Broadcast has found a new life and a cult following due to the mystery surrounding the band. I’ve linked my favorite album, Tender Buttons above.

Due to the involvement of the US Military Sponsoring SXSW, many bands and artists have opted to pull out of SXSW as protest for the ongoing genocide and Ethnic Cleansing in Palestine. I’m very proud of my friends from Perfectly Imperfect and Baby’s All Right for dropping out of SXSW, and for standing in solidarity with the people of Palestine. Free Palestine 🍉
