Chapter Six - At Dawn

The story of “At Dawn” - the last song on Chapter Six. This episode describes the lyrical impetus, musical easter eggs, and collaborations that made the song take its final form.

LESSONS LEARNED: songs are hard to finish, singing low notes is even harder, remembering the names of your favorite artists is impossible. Distraction can not only prevent you from completing a podcast episode recorded a year earlier, but can also lead to metal versions of the song you're working on.
