Journey of a Song

Have you ever wondered how a song is made? What happens during the recording process? In Journey of a Song, singer-songwriter Emmeline takes the audience on a tour of a musician's creative process, from the first notes to the final recorded song. Each week, a different songwriter pulls back the curtain on a favorite composition, beginning with an acoustic version of the song and ending with the final recorded product. In between, you'll hear a conversation about the inspiration behind the song, the decisions made in the recording booth, and the many ways in which music reflects and informs our emotions and our lives.

Journey of a Song

"Go West" by Paige Hill

July 26, 2024 • Emmeline; Paige Hill • Season 1 • Episode 64

"California dreaming of my Texas hill country."

How far should we go to chase a dream? Do we really need to run away to find ourselves? Where do we belong, and how can we truly find home?

Independent, country-tinged singer-songwriter Paige Hill tackles these questions and more in her beautiful song, "Go West."

In this episode, Emmeline sits down with independent, country-tinged, singer-songwriter Paige Hill to talk about "Go West" and Paige's new album, People & Places. They chat about navigating social expectations, the pressure we put on ourselves as women, the difficulty of letting go of (the illusion of) control, and how music allows us to find our truest feelings and our truest selves. Paige and Emmeline also discover a mutual love for the Enneagram and the divas of the 90s! (We’re looking at you, #WhitneyHouston and #CelineDion!)
