Release Critique: Hannah Busse – Fight to Live Another Day (feat. Coliér McNair) | Jazz Review
Music Review:
“Τα φωνητικά με τον αισθησιασμό και την δυναμικότητα τους μας ξεσηκώνουν από την πρώτη στιγμή. Οι απίστευτες δυνατότητες τους μας εκπλήσσουν. Η ευχάριστα επιθετική μελωδία ηλεκτρίζει την ατμόσφαιρα και μας λυτρώνει με τον πληθωρικό ροκ χαρακτήρα της. Η ενέργεια του ρυθμού μας δίνει φτερά και γίνεται το απόλυτο τονωτικό μας.”

Lyrics of Hannah Busse – Fight to Live Another Day (feat. Coliér McNair)
Johnny carries the wound that he got in the war
His legs don’t serve him like they did before
His mates from the Air Force are mostly all gone
They’ve fought the good fight but he presses on
He lost all he had in a high mountain fire
His friends said, “You’re old now, it’s time to retire”
His friends said to sell up, but he said, “I’ll stay
And fight to live another day”
Now he’s a hundred, still living at home
With a heart full of thanks for the life he has known
He knows what it means to not run away
And fight to live another day
When Jessie was born, the doctors said, “No —
She’s never gonna make it past two years old”
Her father said, “Jesus, don’t let our child go”
Her mother said, “Doctors! What do they know?
“They think we should give up and just go away
But we’re gonna pester and argue and pray
They think they’ll erase us but here we will stay
And fight
And fight, and fight”
Now Jessie is twenty and out on her own
With her dog and her friends, a job and a home
She knows what it means to not run away
And fight to live another day
Fight… Fight…
Fight… to live another day
