This episode of But Her Lyrics... tackles the title track, “Wonderful Hell,” with activist and musician Ryan Harvey. In December 2019, while they both played a holiday toy drive fundraiser at the Ottobar, their conversation after the show was the direct inspiration for this song. They talk about balancing the activist in them that wants to provide music that can make a difference in the current political moment, against being an artist that needs to be inspired and can still get burnt out.
