061: Spinoza, Psalms and Songcraft: A Conversation with David Coile

Host Shep Rosenman sits down with singer-songwriter David Coile to explore ”Listen Up!” a song inspired by Psalm 86. Along the way they bring in Spinoza, Parmenides, and Heraclitus, and take on free will, sacrifice, and why hope only means something when set against its opposite. They also dig into the craft, from co-writing and timed writing to critique, musical choices, and the nature-rooted creative life behind one unforgettable chorus: one heron, one fox, one deer.
