"This year, I'll pay attention to the weather, and feel the wind as it moves through a feather."

Getting older is a real, relatable feeling--but how do we make peace with it? How do we learn to let ourselves off the hook, to worry less and care more, to be less restrictive and more exploratory? As we grow up, how do we keep that feeling of awe and discovery that we had as kids?

In "Through A Feather," Hylan tackles these questions and more from the warm embrace of the ocean in Panama. In this episode, Emmeline and Hylan talk about how feeling small can be the best inspiration. They also talk about revisiting the places we loved as kids, about the importance of therapy for songwriters, and how music can be a place for us to ask the most pressing questions AND make peace with uncertainty. They also talk about their mutual love for the beach--and that super weird adult sensation of turning into your parents.
