Broken hearts are what inspires a lot of the music we listen to, whether it’s pop, soul, country or the blues. But what if that song of love gone wrong is about you, and you’re relationship with that musician? And what happens when you and that artist get back together, but those songs, they’re still out there. This is the experience of Seattle musician Jenn Champion and her partner, Sound Effect contributor Arwen Nicks.
Jenn and Arwen are in a happy, healthy relationship now. In fact, they just got married. But some of Jenn’s most popular songs among her fans are about Arwen, and in some cases might be a tad bit unkind. They share with us what it feels like to have your heartbreak aired in such a public way and how surviving this emotional condition can change everything.
