  • Great Podcast for Musicians and Songwriters

    I’m hooked! I love the approach. I really enjoy all the different personalities and types of music. The lyrical and musical analysis really makes the songs fun to listen. As I listen to the tracks, I find myself trying to predict what Mark will choose to discuss with the artists. It makes me pay attention to the details. There’s a lot of great discussion about lyrics. If your a songwriter, I think this podcast will inspire you to write some quality lyrics. If your a music lover who’s into words,... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

NEM#255: Michael Timmins (Cowboy Junkies): Mellow But Energized
Q: Why use the third-person perspective in He Will Call You Baby, and what does that add to the song?
Using a third-person perspective allows the song to feel universal and not overly personal; it lets listeners interpret the emotions through someone else's experience while still feeling intimate in its implications.
NEM#255: Michael Timmins (Cowboy Junkies): Mellow But Energized
Q: How do you handle live arrangements when you have multiple musicians on stage?
I act as the cue person and am open to musicians proposing ideas; we balance structure with flexibility to let players contribute their parts, especially with capable instrumentalists who can elevate the arrangement.
NEM#255: Michael Timmins (Cowboy Junkies): Mellow But Energized
Q: How did the demo influence the final recording and the decision to keep it?
The demo captured the energy perfectly, and the band favored keeping that feel rather than rewriting to fit a more polished studio approach; elements like timing and rhythm were already right, so the demo was kept as the core performance.
NEM#255: Michael Timmins (Cowboy Junkies): Mellow But Energized
Q: What was your composition method for this song, and how did the lyrics come together?
The song started with a premise jotted down in a notebook, then the rest flowed as the two of us built from guitar; rhythm and melody guided the lyric ideas, and Margot's vocal rhythms were aligned to that structure.
NEM#253: Synth-Scaper Richard Barbieri (Japan, Porcupine Tree)
Q: What's your view on collaboration with singers versus working as a solo instrumental artist?
I value both approaches: with singers, the lyrics and mood guide the structure, while as a instrumental artist I explore soundscapes and textures more freely, sometimes giving space for collaborators to contribute.
