Journey of a Song

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.

"I know that you were kind, and that's more than some can say about their lives."

In this episode, Emmeline sits down with the talented Christine Hand to talk about about her beautiful song, "Brother." They talk about the intricacies of grief, the weight of "supposed to," the way songwriting can help us process things that don't make sense, and how--sometimes--the hardest songs to write are the most important and impactful to share.
