Growing up there were some hopeless times. I had an alcoholic father, often no working vehicle or job prospects and there was little room for me at home. I lived in a tent, a van, in a shed and on the floor of my parents laundry room. A big part of the problem was simply a lack of support. I needed to break away and try to make it on my own. That journey was fraught with failure and took several attempts.
"It was Survival" expressed my deep need to escape these bad situations. It tells of the desperation I felt and how far I was willing to go while also keeping my sanity in tact. Ultimately I landed far away. I made new friends, found new jobs and survived.
This song is a lifeline of hope to all of those who haven't made it out yet. It can be done, I'm living proof. Sometimes you have to get a little creative and take big chances but in the end it's worth it.
It was Survival is available on most major music platforms
