Live To Be is the fourth single from the incredible Levi Lights On Project and was released on 26th May 2020.
Exquisitely produced by the extremely talented Mitch French of Black Dog Recording Studio, Live To Be is a happy, feel-good track which possesses a definite healing quality. It encourages us to live life to the fullest because we cannot stop the passage of time.
If country and folk music is your poison of choice, then this song will fill up your cup right from the start. The beautiful rich sound of Levi’s unique vocals, accompanied by the sweetest female harmonies, will fill you with a childish nostalgia, while the bass line rhythm and punchy drum beat will compel you to tap your feet. Couple all of that with the hypnotising resonance of the cello and the spirited, chirpy saxophone and you have a song which is an absolute tonic and will have very broad appeal.
Levi said of the track, "Live To Be was written as a self-reminder to experience all that life has to offer, with full acceptance of both its good and bad.Realising that maybe we were never here to fix anyone or anything, but only to accept everyone and everything, for acceptance is the bridge to all of life's divisions. Live to be and life shall become a humble and self-fulfilled experience of the understanding of truth".
Levi truly is a gifted and inspirational songwriter and he and his band, the Lights On Project, are building quite a following in the Auckland region. Levi has also recently taken his solo show to Darwin where he has collected a whole new group of very keen followers. Accompanying Levi in his full 5-piece line up are Jason Slade on guitar/bass, Tim Shacklock on cello, Andrew Miller on saxophone and Igor Shnayderman on cajon/percussion. These five individually talented musicians come together to deliver songs which touch the soul and unpick the very nature of human existence.
