  • Eve & Paradise Lost
    Sep 18 2024

    In this first episode of Muses: An Ampersand Podcast, Dan Smith and Emma Nagouse look at the life of Eve, who inspired Dan's/Bastille's song Eve & Paradise Lost, which you can hear here: https://bastille.lnk.to/Eve


    Emma and Dan talk about exactly what the Bible (and the Qur'an) say about her; the different interpretations of her story; and the impact her story has had on popular culture, from Desperate Housewives to No Doubt's Tragic Kingdom; and Dan talks about the process of turning the story into the song. Dan also recites all of Paradise Lost from memory, and Emma does a deep dive into the lyrics of the song and that isn't awkward at all.
