No rest for the wicked

Or a writers mind for that matter. It’s almost 4am and I find myself unable to sleep. Sometimes my mind refuses to let me sleep when it’s convenient and often times wants me to sleep when I need to be awake. So while I have you here dear reader, let me share with you an artist I love. Amigo the Devil. Danny has such a way with lyrics and melodies that touch every part of my soul. I have been fortunate enough to see him in concert 3 times before this pandemic madness hit. I love every one of his songs but if I had to pick one that really resonates with me it would be “First Day of the End of My Life”. You can feel the raw emotion of the song as Danny picks at the strings. As someone who has fought against depression I can feel every lyric of this song. Mental Illness is something that should be talked about, understood, and not made something to be ashamed of. So, dear readers, head over to Spotify and check out Amigo's music. Let me know in the comments below what you think! Sorry to cut this short but I think my brain and body are finally ready to let me sleep, huzzah!

Take care,
