There are songs out there in the world that just get to you, and American alternative pop singer songwriter Greyson Chance’s new one is one of them. An open and frank confession about the impact of addiction, it comes complete with a stark video directed by Damien Blue. It’s taken from his new album Palladium and is called My Dying Spirit.

My Dying Spirit is rich with authentic lyrics that don’t hold anything back. The story unfolds against a backdrop emotive piano progressing into an energetic rock arrangement for its climaxes. It’s the lyrics that really grabbed me though. Truly flawless!

I’m just coming to Greyson’s music now but there is a growing groundswell of support for his sound. It’s easy to see why when he’s releasing gems like My Dying Spirit. You can check out its video below.
