## Resource

We dive in with Dan Wilson, Grammy-winning songwriter, producer, and frontman of Semisonic, to talk about the songs he’s written, including “Closing Time,” “Not Ready to Make Nice” by The Chicks, “Someone Like You” by Adele, and “White Horse” by Chris Stapleton.Along the way, we explore the music that shaped his creative voice, from The Beatles and Bob Marley to Bonnie Raitt and Randy Newman, and the lessons he carried forward into his own songwriting.We talk about which George Harrison song can kill a party vibe, the insane ambition of trying to unite the world with a song, and why the best pop songs might double as children’s books.It’s a conversation about loving songs and writing them with hope, compassion, and what rings true.
