Singled Out: Dead 27s' Don't Want To Live My Life Without You
.
Charleston, SC soulful southern rockers Dead 27s are preparing to release their new album later this year. Ahead of the release we asked frontman Trey Francis to tell us about the song "Don't Want To Live My Life Without You". Here is the story: The song is about that feeling of having a big crush on someone, and the intense longing that comes along with it. Sometimes you can have this image of someone that you build up so big in your head, that it creates this pressure that makes it impossible for you to approach them and tell them how you really feel. I wrote this tune about a year or so before we formed Dead 27s and just kind of kept it in the back pocket. It started with the chord progression, which to me immediately sounded like it needed some type of Al Green falsetto hook over it. So I messed around with a few different lines. The one that I eventually settled on was "Don't want to live my life without you baby", which was initially written to be repeated at the end of the song during a fade out. But after swinging and missing with a few chorus ideas, that line seemed to fit the best for what I had in mind for the chorus. I didn't necessarily write it about anyone in particular, but whenever I hear it now I think about a certain girl I was borderline obsessed with at the time...so maybe I subconsciously wrote it about her. The funny thing is, when we released it she texted me to tell me how much she loved it, and all I could say was "Thanks". Hearing is believing. Now that you know the story behind the song, listen for yourself here and learn more about the new album right here!
