about

This month's Exclusive is another behind-the-song, this time for the song Oregon. The EP includes voice memos and demos from the very beginning of the writing process to just before we recorded the final version. You can also watch a live video of Oregon that we filmed recently here: youtu.be/6O2WN3Txxp8

I also wrote about the writing process behind Oregon, including where I was when I started writing it and how that contributed to the song. You can read that here: laurenmann.wordpress.com.
