Holly Throsby is one of my favourite people to chat with. As a prolific songwriter, she’s put out five solo albums, as well as a kid’s record and the Seeker Lover Keeper project; a collaboration with Sarah Blasko and Sally Seltmann. Over the years I’ve had the chance to sit down with Holly and talk music and writing many times, and she’s forever inspiring in the way she sees, and then writes about the world around her. In the midst of making music a few years ago, the opportunity came up for Holly to write a novel, and she jumped at it. It was literally a dream come true to write long form, and what came out of that was Goodwood; her debut novel. It was critically acclaimed, and now she’s just published book number two. With that in mind, I asked Holly to Take 5 with songs that set the scene. Music that evokes a story or paints a picture. She knocked it out of the park, and the way she speaks about music is as lyrical and beautiful as her song and story writing itself.Nina Simone - 'Feeling Good'Paul Simon - 'Graceland'Cat Power - 'Metal Heart'Joni Mitchell - 'Carey'Kate Bush - 'Wuthering Heights'
