I’m Not Dead Yet!

I was going to die…

That was not a “maybe.” That was a “for sure.” My life was going to end. Right here. And Right now.

Our tent was violently shaking before it ripped open. Snow billowed in, filling my sleeping bag and mouth. Avalanche. People don’t survive these. This was it. I was going to die. Right here at Camp 2 on Mount Everest.

Then suddenly, the deafening wind stopped. I looked at my hands…still shaking.

What happened? How are we still here?

We figured out that the avalanche had actually stopped just short of our camp. So what we felt was its deadly last breathes. Still, we were lucky.

I thought about quitting. But I didn’t. Call it pride. Or call it integrity to my word. I kept climbing.

But as I did, one thought persisted in my mind: “I can’t die here.”

It was on loop in my head.

I kept thinking, “There’s so much more music inside me. I can’t die here.”

With the grace of God, we made the summit: 4:35am, June 1st, 2021, and more importantly, we made it back down.

And when we made it back down, I got my ass back in the studio.

Since the summit I’ve written over 50 songs.

“Well, where the hell are they all?” You might be asking.

Most songs I write I don’t think are that good. That’s a lie, I think they are good. But I aim to only release things I think are GREAT.

GREAT. What does that mean? I dno, it’s just a feeling when they come out. I feel like I’m exactly where I’m supposed to be. Like God put this song in my mind and I’m so grateful She did.

That’s how this one felt.

I wanted to tell u about it. It’s about the glimmer of sadness that’s inside beauty, and the glimmer of beauty that’s inside sadness.

It comes out today. Stream it, share it, roll it up and smoke it. Do whatever want with it. I love u.

Listen Here
In gratitude,

Mp

PS Don’t die with your music still inside you.

I’m Not Dead Yet Lyrics

(Intro)
Told me
It was over

(Verse 1)
Hoodie on my head, cold breath in the air
People walkin’ by like I’m not even there
Last three nights felt like a hundred years (Ooh, ooh)
I get paid for my pain long as I can make it rhyme
But sometimes I can’t tell if it’s even mine
Either way, it’s beautiful, look at how it shines

(Pre-Chorus)
It sounds like
Ooh, it’s all in my head (My head)
Lightning and thundering
Ooh, I’m not dead yet
In case you were wondering

(Chorus)
This is what a sad song sounds like
It’s been playin’ in my head for my whole life
It’s beautiful and cruel at the same time
Ooh, ooh, yeah
And this is what a broken heart beats like
It’s tearin’ up my chest like a jackknife
But it gets me through the good and the bad times (Ooh)
This is what a sad song sounds like

(Post-Chorus)
Told me
It was over
Told me
It was over
This is what a sad song sounds like

(Verse 2)
Say it like you love me, say it like you care (Care)
I know that I’m fucked up, I don’t even care (Care)
When I close my eyes, I swear I can disappear

(Pre-Chorus)
It sounds like
Ooh, it’s all in my head (My head)
Lightning and thundering
Ooh, I’m not dead yet (Dead yet)
In case you were wondering

(Chorus)
This is what a sad song sounds like
It’s been playin’ in my head for my whole life (Whole life)
It’s beautiful and cruel at the same time (Yeah)
Ooh, ooh, yeah
And this is what a broken heart beats like (Beats like)
It’s tearin’ up my chest like a jackknife
But it gets me through the good and the bad times (Bad times)
This is what a sad song sounds like

(Post-Chorus)
Told me
It was over
Told me
This is what a sad song sounds like
Told me
It was over
Told me
It was over
This is what a sad song sounds like
