from Chris DeMakes A Podcast · host Chris DeMakes

In this episode, Aaron Bruno discusses the creation of AWOLNATION's 2011 hit single "Sail," offering an inside look at his songwriting process during a challenging period in his life. Aaron shares how he was in a very low place when he wrote the song, using it as an opportunity to break free from traditional songwriting constraints and express himself creatively. He highlights how the track's signature booming synth bass and its honest address of A.D.D. in the lyrics were ahead of their time.
