Making Music with Jake Haws is a podcast dedicated to exploring the creative process of writing and recording music, featuring original songs and guest collaborators.
This is a special episode I like to call a “listening party” and the occasion is that I just released a new album called “Learning To Let Go.” And so, I’d like to play each of the 10 tracks for you and tell you a little bit about what inspired them and how they were made.
I wrote this album in a two week spurt after being let go from my job in 2023. Anyone who has been in that situation knows you go through a roller coaster of emotions. You feel hurt, frustrated, angry, and humiliated. Eventually you come to peace with your situation, try to make the best of it, and move on. I tried to capture this idea of going through all these emotions with this cycle of songs.
I’m super proud of this one. I think it’s the best music I’ve ever made. I hope you enjoy it!
