Songs We Love is a series and a podcast with a look at the stories behind some of the songs we're playing on our new music discovery stream, WUNC Music.
This time Eric Hodge sits down with Durham, NC, singer-songwriter Skylar Gudasz to discuss her song "I'm So Happy I Could Die." It's a tongue-in-cheek anthem about moving on from a relationship that went sour.
While Gudasz's latest release, Oleander, which features this song, is more acoustic-centric than this track, she wanted to feature an electric guitar prominently on "I'm So Happy I Could Die."
'That snarling guitar at the beginning is Chris Stamey totally rocking it.'
