Episode Synopsis "Episode 5: Heartbreak Garden and Learning to Write a Song"

Heartbreak Garden is the first song I ever wrote. I talk about its evolution from a song in its initial state into its final produced version. I also talk about how I've learned to trust inspiration and write guided by the ineffable but very real channel that tells me what to write.
