Award-winning actress and professional songwriter MarySteenburgen opens up about co-writing the 'Wild Rose's' song 'Glasgow'
Mary Steenburgen is an Academy Award-winning actress with a career spanning 45 years, but, little known to Hollywood, she is also a songwriter — whose life changed in 2007 after a minor arm surgery left her hearing music in her head. "It took a long time for me to be able to honestly feel I could say that I'm a songwriter," she tellsZoey's Extraordinary Playlist
But that music in her head has led to a spot on the Oscars shortlist for "Glasgow ," the original song she wrote with Caitlyn Smith and Kate York for director Tom Harper's, the tale of an aspiring country singer who dreams of moving to Nashville. Here, Steenburgen expounds on the underlying themes of “Glasgow” and how her music and acting worlds seem to have cosmically come together.
Certainly, those chords are the backbone of everything. The best country does have truth to it and very often digs into some sort of longing. When you think about writers like Hank Williams that are just so classic and you look at those lyrics, they very often are about somebody's yearning that's inside of all of us. One of the things I really love about country music is that it tells stories and it's not ashamed to tell stories. It's not "too cool" to tell stories.
