All Composition, Arrangement, Instruments, and Lead Vocal Performances(and some backing vocals) by Jeremiah A. Boothe. Today, July 1st, 2018, I am releasing my first "official" solo single ever. It's called "Gone, A Reason" and explores the concept of suicide as a means of self preservation through self sabotage. Inspired by the many people who are no longer with us, but shouldn't have left so soon. It's also inspired by the general self preservation through self sabotage that most of us deal with on a daily basis, excuses that we believe are reasons not to pursue our goals. "Gone, A Reason", was written, recorded, and submitted for distribution in the month of June, 2018. It was used as a means to push through many of my own excuses and to grind through all of the challenges until I had a song in the world. Now I've taken the first and most difficult step. Lyrics: Chorus: I've got a reason to live Don't know what it is I've got no reason to give Won't quit 'til I discover it I've got no reason to give I've got a reason to live Don't know what it is Won't quit 'til I discover it Verse 1: Begin the search inside yourself Follow your pain into the center Dig and pick until you make a mess Don't stop 'til you reach madness Chorus: I've got a reason to live Don't know what it is I've got no reason to give Won't quit 'til I discover it I've got no reason to give I've got a reason to live Don't know what it is Won't quit 'til I discover it Verse 2: The sound you hear is your conciousness Being subdued by your selfishness It all comes down to how you perceive yourself The ego is your narcissist Chorus: I've got a reason to live Don't know what it is I've got no reason to give Won't quit 'til I discover it I've got no reason to give I've got a reason to live Don't know what it is Won't quit 'til I discover it B.U.T.Bridge: Brain into the frying pan The void is calling us again Drowning in an afterthought Of mind memetic complexes Thoughts into existance One voice louder than the rest Attempt self preservation Protect the pain we've kept Exceptance: I've got no reason to give That's just the way that it is Please - Purchase, Share, Stream, Like, and Subscribe!
