Dear Mary, My best mate sadly passed away this year. When grieving and feeling lost, how do I find that crucial emotional headspace to write a song? I used to have lots of resilience, but these days it seems to be slipping away.
I watched one of your streams recently and you mentioned that you don't want to sit down to write when you're happy. I know that sad songs bring hope in their own way (they're my favorite) but have you ever tried to intentionally write a hopeful song?
