Most music can heighten moods and toy with feelings, but what does it take for a song to truly send a listener on an emotional journey?
Does it have to do with the instrumentation? What about the form, or the harmony? Does said journey need to feel like a rollercoaster of ups and downs, or can it be more subtle than that?
To answer these questions, Carter sat down with his frequent podcast companion, Mahea Lee, as well as songwriter and multi-instrumentalist, Max Swan. They discussed music by Simon Dawes, Armando Young, Laura Marling, and more in our quest to better understand "Songs That Are an Emotional Journey."
