on the weigh down

Live Like I'm Dead

This song is the epitome of having fun and not taking things so seriously. But only because life, indeed, is serious. Not to run it in the ground, but I had a stroke, and things changed for me, my mindset and actions to match them, most of all. I think we all need that kick in the rear to get ourselves into gear at a certain point. I just realized today, on the day of releasing this song, that in the bridge, I say ‘cuz the hole in my heart feels like a bullet in my head.’ I wrote this two months before I had a stroke, yet I didn’t know at the time that I did indeed have an actual hole in my heart that later was closed with surgery. I think I was running really fast and going a whole lot of nowhere most of that time. Having an event like this changed me. I’m grateful to have had a reset and I’m happy to focus forward and make music that I genuinely love. If I pick up some listeners on the way that sounds pretty good too. I hope you all find your place and passion. Without it, I think you’ll either chase or run, neither of which will get you to your true destiny. Much Love TB
