21 分钟You're listening to Song Exploder,
where musicians take apart their songs and piece by piece tell the story of how they were made.
I'm Rishikesh Hirway.
I love talking to musicians about how they made their songs for Song Exploder,
but I also just love talking about music in general with people who are passionate about it,
just as fans.
And I'm really fascinated by how much power there is in music to change your life.
Just a chance encounter with a song that really hits you, it can really transform the way you think.
Not just about music, but the way you see the world or see yourself.
It's happened to me multiple times.
And so I wanted to start a new conversation series where I could explore how that's happened for other people.
In addition to regular Song Exploder episodes,
I'm excited to introduce a new monthly series on the podcast called Key Change,
where I talk with fascinating people about the music that's transformed them.
For this first episode, my guest is Sophie Thatcher,
an actor and musician whose credits include starring in the TV show Yellow Jackets,
the film Heretic, and the new movie Companion.
I met Sophie through Companion because I composed the score to the film.
One of the pieces that I wrote is called Iris' Theme,
based on the character that Sophie plays in the movie.
