I wrote this song with my mom and Rick Rubin after a spiritual awakening over the pandemic. Originally titled 'Last night I talked to God' .... 'Eat The Acid' is one of my favorite songs off my new record Gag Order. Actually, ever.⁣
Dove into the entire process and shared early…

I only just realized in 'SexyBack' (2006) by Justin Timberlake, when Timbaland shouts 'take it to the bridge!' they actually take it to the prechorus. I'm gonna be sick

My favorite Song Exploder episodes usually end up being with artists I have very little experience with. The most recent episode with Natalie Merchant is way way up there.

I quite liked this episode of Song Exploder in which Natalie Merchant talks a lot about preserving the legacy of women of her mother's generation, to not have them written out of the story as they disappear songexploder.net/natalie-mercha…

.Natalie Merchant is Song Exploder to talk with host Hrishikesh Hirway about 'Sister Tilly,' breaking down the track from her new album, 'Keep Your Courage.' The song was arranged by @GabrielKahane.

I have loved Feist’s music for many, many years, and it was great to get to speak to her and discover she’s as wonderful as her songs.
