    @jillianalysse Před 5 lety +49

    Jack's music has saved my life so many times. Kesha has changed my life a couple times as well. As someone who suffered from anxiety, depression, and bipolar, sometimes you just immerse yourself into a moving something song or album just to lose yourself and give your problems to the song... If that makes sense...

    42:19 “Music is a lifting force that makes us better.”
    As a composer/songwriter I couldn’t agree more about this discussion about how music and art can be used as a response and release to the current political climate. I think as an artist, you are able to tap into a deeper sense of empathy and emotional intuition, and with such political turmoil and human depravity, it is so easy to become overwhelmed and overcome by the all the hatred, injustice, and hardship that is swirling around us each and everyday. In the past year I’ve grappled with how to accurately channel the powerful emotions I felt in regards to the current political climate. Creating art and/or writing music is such a crucial way to authentically respond to the things that break your heart, to convey where change in the world or maybe in yourself needs to occur.
    Thanks Hollywood Reporter for opening this dialogue with these songwriters!

    I loved this discussion and holy crap to the people sitting around this table! I came for Mark Ronson and was surprised by Crosby and Antonoff. But that said, I did end up taking a break 15-20 before the end because I felt like Diane Warren couldn’t finish a thought without being interrupted and/or spoken over by almost everyone but s few people including the two other women. And that’s not to say anyone was malicious or that it was a conscious act. But it was just really obvious and bothersome to watch after a bit, imo.
    The interviewer, Rebecca Ford though was pitch perfect! She always knows when to just let the subjects have a good convo. And she knows when she needs to step back in. She proves that you can be around strong personalities as an interviewer, and still control the room through active listening. I wish she could host these roundtables more often!
