It’s been a long time getting to this point with my latest song, “Outlive.” The song’s original title was “The Greatest Gift” based off something my mother used to say to me when I was younger. She’d say “the greatest gift a child can give is that their parents they outlive.” When I was at my bottom, and God willing my last one, and considering suicide, I believe it was a prayer from my mother and those words that saved me.
I’ve been working hard on the lyrics for this years NSAI/CMT Song Contest. Originally I wanted to record the vocals myself, but due to time constraints and getting coaching from my vocal coach, I decided to go ahead and pay for a professional demo singer. I’m glad I did, I got a chance to hear what it could possibly sound like on the radio by a country artist. I love it, and I’m proud of it. God willing someday I’ll hear it on the radio and hopefully it will inspire someone.
This song is about my bottom, and my mothers prayer, you can listen and read lyrics HERE or click play below.
