(Both songs will be released in full before next week’s podcast episode is released.) Because the recorded version of “Bluing” is not yet completed, this episode will end with a live performance which was recorded while the song was being written and improvised, as part of a YouTube video series titled You Have Until Lunch, where artists are tasked with the challenge of filming themselves while attempting to write a brand new song from scratch in the span on only thirty minutes.
