Westerman announces debut album ‘Your Hero Is Not Dead’, shares defiant single ‘Think I’ll Stay’
The album arrives in June via Play It Again Sam.
Westerman has announced details of his debut album.
‘Your Hero Is Not Dead’ is coming out on 5th June via Play It Again Sam, and the singer-songwriter has shared defiant new single ‘Think I’ll Stay’.
“I wrote this while I was moving a lot,” Westerman says of the new song. “I was thinking about a chronic pain condition when it started. That pain is a very specific type, but I think there’s an inevitable amount of pain that everyone goes through just being alive.
“A friend was talking to me about how they’re going to be working until they’re 80 years old, so what’s the difference. In the song, I’m trying to say that it’s worth sticking around. It’s a sort of giddy affirmation of being.”
