During the pandemic, Keith stumbled into a weekly youtube special on Country artist Drake White's Youtube channel https://www.youtube.com/user/drakew5/featured named Wednesday night therapy https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PL5U9ENwi51aOhDCwzRxGsTwMPlv-Xsu8P
Drakes's weekly live performances provided a great deal of comfort and distraction to all that was happening around us. The more Keith listened the more he felt a personal connection to Drake and his words. On today's episode of Share The Struggle Podcast Keith shares lyrics from some of his favorite songs and offers a personal perspective on them.
"Drake White; lyrics song Giants For some it's a cigarette For some it's a blackjack bet For some it's playing Russian roulette With the bottle For some it's a broken heart Pink slip in a foreclosed yad Eighteen and a goodbye car Waving to her father
We all got giants, we all feel like a David Facing Goliath sometimes Well, they make us feel so small, back us against the wall But they don't know they're turning underdogs to lions So bring on those giants
For some it's a locker room Makeup on bourbon bruise For some it's a Sunday pew Talking to Jesus For some it's the sound of goodbye A single seeing two pink lines Some people gotta stay high And some are scared of flyin Scared of trying, scared of dying
We all got giants, we all feel like a David Facing Goliath sometimes Well, they make us feel so small, back us against the wall But they don't know they're turning underdogs to lions So bring on those giants
we all, we all got them skeletons in the closet we all got them mountains worth climbing
They're testing our faith in defiance We all got giants, we all feel like a David Facing Goliath sometimes Well, they make us feel so small, back us against the wall But they don't know they're turning underdogs to lions"
Drake White song lyrics for "It Takes Time"
"It takes time, you can't rush right through this life Time, no a crop don't grow overnight
Time you gotta put the work in to get it right Lord it just takes time"
Drake White song lyrics "Hurts The Healing"
"goodbyes Oh, they cut like knives This pain ain't nothing like I've ever known This heartbroke has got a hold and won't let go, no Even in the worst, I got a feeling Maybe the hurt's the healing Maybe the hurt's the healing"
The only thing more inspiring than Drakes's song lyrics is his actual life story from suffering a hemorrhagic stroke while performing on stage to his to making the choice to be an inspiration and defat his situation. You can learn more of this story from his Ted Talk in Nashville Tennesse in 2020 https://youtu.be/VRbPDIlnDHk
In March of 2022 Drake released his new album The Optimystic, the release of this album was backed by a tour that created an opportunity for Keith and Alli to meet Drake!
