Cecilia Castleman

If you see Cecilia Castleman (www.ceciliacastlemanofficial.com) browsing the paint aisle at Home Depot, she’s probably not looking for paint. She’s looking for song ideas. Castleman finds inspiration everywhere, but paint names, she says, are particularly rich sources for song ideas and lyrics. And as you’ll hear, baking cakes and looking at old houses are great sources too.
It took me about ten seconds-the first notes of the opening guitar riff-of listening to the opening track “It’s Alright” (ruclips.net/video/vLb3iCFnQUs/видео.html) to realize I was going nowhere for the next 48 minutes. This album is good. I mea...

Instead, “we pull back on ideas until we are ready to write,” they say. This seasonal writing, as they a...

      Reach out to Rick via e-mail!!! Seriously, let's make it happen. I already did, I suggested he give Wunderhorse a listen, be I think he (understandably) either didn't see the e-mail or just wasn't interested. I think Wunderhorse would work brilliantly with the kind of content and the message about music that Rick has been putting out for years now. So please, help spread the message about this band. The world needs to hear them.

    That writing alone quote itself could fill a 50 minute podcast, with all the nested ideas you could examine. That voice itself could be thought of an amalgamation of what others have told you over the years, part of a much broader synthesis on shared human knowledge and thoughts. It's no accident he had that profound thought as a vivid reader and shelves full of books! Great interview, thank you for your work.

    I had to laugh at the interviewer's comments on the number of pens, colors, favorites... I don't write many songs but I currently have 10 different colors and two types of pens at my desk with my little notebook, just waiting for me to write in it. Whether I'm brainstorming ideas, organizing my day, or doodling nonsensical shapes, I could not get through my workday without my pen and paper (or my laptop ha ha) Great interview with a great artist! Looking forward to hearing what writings Britt Daniel shares with the world next!

    great interview - as a fan of chvrches' music, it was awesome to get Lauren's thoughts on the songwriting process. the common theme that seemed to emerge was that a large part of songwriting happens while not sitting at a notebook or instrument, both in the immediate term (having something to occupy the conscious mind to "free" the subconsious mind creatively), and the longer term ("putting in the work"). and absolutely agree: the right pens and notebooks are essentials :p
