Brilliant Disguises (Song Meanings)

Welcome to Creative Connections — where we join the dots between songwriter meanings, across the decades, and spin them into a new narrative.

Today’s episode is “Brilliant Disguises”: seven songs about the selves we build — the characters we become, the private truths we keep, and the moments when you realise you’ve been leaving parts of yourself behind.
