The debut album, Ballad Of A Misspent Youth, by Nashville-based rockers “Tuk Smith & The Restless Hearts” was released this month. Talking about their new single, Everybody Loves You When You’re Dead, Tuk Smith said:
“I was channeling my favourite 70’s glam gods on this track, for sure. I woke up one morning with the phrase ‘…everybody loves you when you’re dead’ running through my head, so I sat down at the piano and the song kind of wrote itself. I had been struggling with the death of a friend and I was flooded with existential thoughts. It’s not necessarily a song about death per se, it’s a bit more layered with some social commentary thrown in there. Personally, I look at it as more a freedom song.”
Everybody Loves You When You’re Dead is new this week on RadiJohan.
