In this episode, I sit down with Anna B Savage to unpack the long and winding process behind “Donegal,” a standout from her album You and i are Earth. We talk about the years-long process of shaping the track, how she’s learned to push through self-doubt, and the balance between honesty and respect when writing about heritage and history.

Anna shares how grappling with emotional uncertainty shaped the song’s themes, why persistence (not divine inspiration) is the real key to writing, and how rhythm and movement became central to “Donegal.”

So, how does a song born out of struggle become a vessel for finding home and reckoning with history?
