Winter shares how the track emerged in a single, urgent creative burst, rooted in months of reading first hand accounts from Mariupol and witnessing the human stories behind the headlines. With a driving arrangement enriched by acclaimed composer Matt Combs, known for work with Dan Auerbach, Kacey Musgraves, and Leon Bridges, the song captures both devastation and resilience.Join us for an intimate conversation about art, empathy, and the ways storytelling, whether on screen or in song, can illuminate the human experience.
