The Third Story with Leo Sidran

165: Louise Goffin


Listen Later

Singer-songwriter Louise Goffin says she is "uncomfortable with nostalgia". Louise Goffin says that "in order to take care of the world, you have to take care of your inner soul." Louise Goffin says "don't believe everything you think."

Her new record Two Different Movies was co-produced by Louise and Dave Way, and features a long list of incredible musicians and collaborators. Our conversation itself is kind of like two different movies. One of them deals with an independent songwriter, with a decades long career (she made her first record at 18). The other explores what it was like to grow up as the daughter of young, talented parents who just happened to be two of the most celebrated songwriters of their generation (Gerry Goffin and Carole King).

Songs have played an almost impossibly significant role in Louise's life, so it's no surprise that in addition to writing and recording, she also hosts the Song Chronicles podcast, where she talks to notable songwriters.

This is one of those conversations that operates on multiple levels. It's both an insider's conversation about craft and career, but also a very intimate conversation about her personal journey, and why at 60 she feels like she's just getting started.
