Cash Savage's love songs

DOUBLE J
About this episode

It’s been a minute between albums for Cash Savage and the Last Drinks. But the Melbourne songwriter has returned with her band after five years, and with an album of intense feeling.

So This Is Love is a story of heartbreak, but also a celebration of love in all it’s forms, and how it changes, and can still be with you when people are gone.

This is a beautiful conversation with Cash. She shared so much, and also reminded me that, even when it hurts, love is always worth it. That feeling, the joy, the connection, and even the pain.

From Luther Vandross to Harmony to The Beach Boys, this is a deeply honest conversation with one of Australia’s best songwriters.

  • Harmony - Love is a Chemical High 
  • Luther Vandross - Never Too Much
  • Courtney Marie Andrews - Near You 
  • Big Smoke - Best Of You
  • Beach Boys - God Only Knows
