## Resource

In this week’s Deep Dive, Orin and Mira take a closer look at the strange and beautiful process of songwriting. Their conversation explores how songs emerge through attention, experimentation, and collaboration—sometimes from a line in a notebook, sometimes from a lyric in Gorby’s Songbook, sometimes from an unexpected spark of inspiration. It’s a thoughtful exploration of how music becomes both creative expression and a mirror for self-discovery.
