Love in Lyrics: Fiona Soe Paing, Cameron Stewart Grant & Florence Jack
How does love sound? Is it loud or quiet? Sweet or painful? Smooth like silk or tangled like guitar strings? Love in Lyrics is an intimate, one-hour live chat with some of the most emotionally resonant emerging and established musicians in Scotland. In this heart-forward session, we dive deep into how love, its longing, heartbreak, joy, and contradictions, shapes the stories we sing. From shimmering indie-pop to reimagined folklore, this event explores how singer-songwriters thread love into their work: through lyric, melody, myth, and memory.
Following a performance each from Fiona Soe Paing, Cameron Stewart Grant andFlorence Jack, well talk songwriting, storytelling, and the wild emotional territory where music meets the soul. How do they write about love without clich? What makes a line linger in a listeners heart? Do they write from personal experience, collective history, or somewhere in between?
