Making Music with Jake Haws

This is a special episode I like to call a “listening party” and the occasion is that I just released a new album called “Learning To Let Go.” And so, I’d like to play each of the 10 tracks for you and tell you a little bit about what inspired them and how they were made.I wrote this album in a two week spurt after being let go from my job in 2023. Anyone who has been in that situation knows you go through a roller coaster of emotions. You feel hurt, frustrated, angry, and humiliated. Eventually you come to peace with your situation, try to make the best of it, and move on. I tried to capture this idea of going through all these emotions with this cycle of songs. I’m super proud of this one. I think it’s the best music I’ve ever made. I hope you enjoy it! Apple Music Bandcamp Soundcloud

In this episode, I break apart a song called, “Coming Around.” This comes from my album Starting Over released back in August of 2022.This song is influenced by the band Low. My favorite song of theirs is “In Metal,” from their 2001 album, Things We Lost In The Fire. I love the different elements they chose for the arrangement, which really add to the atmosphere and give it that feeling of longing. Sadly, the singer of this song, Mimi Parker passed away last year after battling cancer. I was lucky to see them perform a few times and it was always a transcendent experience. She will be greatly missed.-- MUSIC VIDEO --► https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rvS9ByKV2vY-- SPECIAL OFFERS --This song is available to license for your projects like podcasts and videos.
