About this episode
In this episode, Aaron Bruno discusses the creation of AWOLNATION's 2011 hit single "Sail," offering an inside look at his songwriting process during a challenging period in his life. Aaron shares how he was in a very low place when he wrote the song, using it as an opportunity to break free from traditional songwriting constraints and express himself creatively. He highlights how the track's signature booming synth bass and its honest address of A.D.D. in the lyrics were ahead of their time. This episode is a must-listen for anyone who has experienced rejection or for aspiring songwriters feeling held back by limitations, as Aaron's journey underscores the power of perseverance and innovation in music.
