Juliana Strangelove On the Making Of “Dead Poets”
Can you tell us about the inspiration behind "Dead Poets" and the story it tells?
This is a story about the time when I was 20 years old, and I came to London without cash and connections to become a famous musician, but I ended up exhausting myself to such a state that I ceased to seem normal to myself.
Were there any challenges or breakthrough moments during the songwriting process for this track?
Songwriting was smooth, but during the recording, I had a terrible sore throat, because as soon as I arrived in England, I caught a cold.
What do you like the best about this track?
The guitar solo made me fall in love with my other half again (my husband plays guitar). And I am absolutely happy with the production, kudos to The Animal Farm label.
How did you get started in music, and what inspired you to become a singer-songwriter?
I was skipping math at school and accidentally wandered into a music class.
How do you channel your emotions and connect with your audience during live performances?
Sometimes I don't, but when I get it, it's one of the best moments in my life. Who knows what the magic is?
