Episode Synopsis "5. Fear Not: Collaborative Songwriting in Action"

Throughout this season, you’ve heard a group of middle school kids writing a song called Fear Not, with some guidance from WAV Executive Director Nick D’Andrea. They came up with the theme, the style, and the lyrics, then Nick took all of that and recorded a demo of the song. In this episode, the kids sit down with the demo for the first time and give their feedback, acting as the producers for the final version of the song that we’ll record in studio. We write some new lyrics, change up the structure, and pick what musicians we want to help bring it to life behind the mics. This is collaborative songwriting in action, and we invite you to listen in.Learn more and get involved at www.weamplifyvoices.org.You can listen to more original WAV songs from our student workshops on Spotify.Workshop produced and hosted by WAV (We Amplify Voices).Written by C, Kristen, A, Jadah, Josh, J, Leon, Harlem, and Destiny.Vocals by Cassius Keys and Amber Nicole.Produced by Glenn Davis and Nick D'Andrea.Recorded at Oranjudio Studios in Columbus, Ohio.Podcast produced by Crate Media.
