Give it up for something you love.

A couple years back, I ran into a friend from high school who used to have huge dreams, but had somehow spent the last four years 'climbing the corporate ladder'.

He was doing great financially... But was broke, spiritually. He felt miserable. He felt like he'd got himself trapped in a career he didn’t really believe in. This got me thinking; what if so many other people are living like this and don’t know there’s always another way?

I wrote this song about life being too short not to challenge yourself to do something greater; to do something you love, even if you’re the only one who believes in it. Produced alongside my brother, @AtlasSound. Let us know what you think.

The friend left the country and seems to be in a better place, fitting how we ended the song's production.

Hey old friend, where's your smile gone?
What happened to that spirit, has it moved on like a
Stone rolling, it'll never stop
You've been rolling for a minute
Wont you give it up?

For something you love
Something you love
Something you love
Won't you give it up?

Same story, automatic days
Weekends are the only time you celebrate
Still climbing to the city top
You've been dying for a living,
Won't you give it up

For something you love,
Something you love
Something you love
Won't you give it up?

Do you have the heart, la la la la la la la la la la
For something you love, la la la la la la la la la la
You have the heart la la la la la la la la la la
For something you love la la la la la la la la la la

Weekend, it's the weekend
Every day, every day, is like the weekend
Weekend
It's the life you've never known
Something you love, something you love, something you love
