Why do musicians create what they do? Why do they create in that particular way? Mark Linsenmayer (aka songwriter Mark Lint, and host of The Partially Examined Life) talks to songwriters and composers about specific recordings, which are played in full. We cover lyric meanings, writing and recording techniques, arrangements, band dynamics, the stories behind the songs, and even music theory.

NEM#121: K.C. Clifford on Brokenness and Power
K.C. has created seven releases of confessional folk (sometimes gospel, sometimes country) since 2000. We discuss “No More Living Small” and listen to “You Couldn’t Stay” from her 2020 self-titled album, then talk about “Broken Things” from Orchid (2010) and “Find My Way Home” from Teeth-Marks on My Tongue (2004). Intro: “Emily” from Times Like These (2000). For more see kcclifford.com.
Here’s another song, “Salt” from the new album. Here she is performing as a duo one of those strongly country tunes she talks about, and with a full band supporting her 2010 album. Read her words about “You Couldn’t Stay” from her blog. She recorded a fundraising video talking about motherhood in advance of her new record. And apparently she appeared on The Biggest Loser a decade ago.
