I WROTE THIS SONG: I wrote this song, “Don’t Let Me Down Easy”, because being stuck in a rut, becoming stagnant is something everyone battles. Whether its the same job everyday, the same bar, the same town, the same anything, it’s a struggle when life gets redundant, when it feels like you can’t feel anything anymore. This song is about jumping and having faith the net will appear, it’s about getting your heart wrecked, it’s about wanting to get up and just experience something, whether amazingly positive or downright horrible, it’s about wanting more and never settling.
