#killitcutitdown #songaday / 6. NOTHING WRONG
Track 6: “Nothing Wrong”
This song was written for my wife, Mary. In so many ways we saved each other. When we finally battled through the muck that we never thought would be behind us, I felt beyond victorious. I wrote this song to help her to remember that she can put the load on my shoulders and let me make everything okay.

Track 5: “Kill It Cut It Down”
The title track of the new record. I love this song and the imagery produced by the wounded character never being able to heal until they make the decision to finally… KILL IT CUT IT DOWN.

#killitcutitdown #songaday / 4. BACK TO THE BOTTOM
Track 4 “Back To The Bottom”
A continuance of Reflection, furthering the idea posed in Reflection; wishing I could go back in time. Back To The Bottom is the fictional story of my returning to the depths of alcoholism and drug abuse.

#killitcutitdown #songaday / 3. STUBBORN YOUNG...
Track 3. “Stubborn Young Manhood”
Written as an ode to my Grandfather after listening to him drunkenly ask me what my net worth was. Moral: I know who I am, I know what I am good at and I know that (especially after our conversation) I will never stop.

Check out the Kill It Cut It Down merch bundles we’ve created! The top tier is totally sweet. Not only do you get the physical record (with instant digital download), a tshirt, tote bag and signed poster, but you also get a personal phone call from the band (while we’re all in the van bored on tour, so we’ll probably talk your ear off) AND Jim Wirt’s production notes. Ben...
#killitcutitdown #songaday / 2. REFLECTION
Track 2. “Reflection”
A song about imagining my sober self watch my drunk self die and loathing the process, almost wishing it could be reversed.
Someone I know died in the street last night
Someone I knew isn’t alive anymore
Why should I give a damn about him, oh oh oh oh
Why should I care at all?
We were like twins cut from the same sweet cloth
We were just like...
