My Music Episode 706 - Dream Delay (Part II)

In Part II of Graham Coath’s conversation with Dream Delay, Sam returns—and this time Anna joins him to tell her side of the band’s story.Anna reveals how a chance connection on a musicians’ app changed the direction of her music, why building confidence as a singer takes more than believing in yourself, and how she learned to deliver emotion on stage without becoming overwhelmed.The conversation explores vulnerability, the pressure to be performative, writing from experience without becoming trapped in anger, and why the best songs often need time before they are ready to be written.Anna and Sam also discuss their forthcoming song, “Spare You”—a powerful reflection on a destructive relationship, finding wisdom in the darkness and choosing not to seek revenge.There is also a glimpse of an unfinished Dream Delay song, “The Next Three Quarters of a Century”, unexpected T-shirt design advice from Graham, and a wider conversation about how live music creates connection, community, and a sense of belonging between complete strangers.This is MyMusic with Graham Coath: conversations about the people, experiences and ideas behind the music.My Music is sponsored by 13th Floor Sound
