Welcome to Worktapes!

This is a podcast where we tear apart songs.
Why was the song written? What’s it about? What is the context and emotion behind it? Where were you at the time? What were you going through? How do lines come to you? What is the inspiration? How long did it take to write?

In each episode, we talk to a writer about one song they've writtenand listen to the original demo or work tape of that song.
