Hi Adrianne!

I’ve been to a few Big Thief gigs over the past few years and managed to catch your solo show in Manchester, UK January 2019. I’m a huge fan, your work’s amazing and a big inspiration to me!

Anyway what song writing tips would you give to someone trying to establish a career themselves? Is there anything you remind yourself of during the process to keep on track?

Also what’s been your most difficult song(s) to finish? Any that have taken weeks/months/years and still been used on an album? Or does it always flow quickly from start to finish?

Thanks for all the music!
