"I keep finding pieces below the surface, working their way out."

We're all searching for purpose. We're all desperate for meaning.

In "Hattertown Road," Austin-based songwriter Kris Schultz articulates that yearning and shares how beautiful it can be to be given the space to search. In this episode, Emmeline sits down with Kris to talk about how some songs depict familial relationships, how presence really can be the most beautiful gift, how the voice memos we send to ourselves often hold all of the secrets of songwriting, and how it's never too late to start songwriting!

They also share their PTSD moments from COVID and discuss different methods and timelines for song production.
