JP Saxe Didnt Mean for His Grammy Hit If the World Was Ending to Be So Literal
JP Saxe wrote the song \u201cIf the World was Ending\u201d with acclaimed songwriter Julia Michaels in 2019 about a fictional cataclysm. The record was released in the before times in a way that seemed to presage lockdown. In the early months of the actual pandemic the song resonated so widely that it catapulted up the charts. It\u2019s now been nominated for a Grammy for song of the year \u2014 an award JP Saxe could share with his grandfather J\xe1nos Starker who was awarded a Grammy in 1997 for a recording of Bach\u2019s cello suites. We wanted to speak with JP not just because of the song's success, but also because he has a way of thinking about the practical implications and even morality of songwriting in this track as well as his song "Line By Line" with Maren Morris.\n\nSongs Discussed\nJP Saxe with Julia Michaels - If The World Was Ending\nJP Saxe - 25 In Barcelona, A Little Bit Yours, The Few Things, Same Room\nLennon Stella - Golf on TV (with JP Saxe)\nJP Saxe, Maren Morris - Line By Line\nLearn more about your ad choices.
