In this episode, we're taking a look at songs inspired by old stories; Eat Your Young by Hozier as A Modest Proposal, Grendel's Mother by The Mountain Goats as Beowulf, Wuthering Heights by Kate Bush as the novel of the same name, and Love Story by Taylor Swift as Romeo and Juliet. We're also talking about the Built on Bones EP by Emily Scott Robinson, which is six songs sung by the witches from Macbeth. What makes a song a good adaptation as opposed to a movie or book? We're gonna talk about it!
