LIVINGSTON SHARES ANTHEMIC SINGLE “SAY THE WORD”
Livingston commented on the track, “Stuck inside throughout March, I was feeling uninspired and disconnected from other people. I heard about the charitable campaign with Panera to provide up to 500,000 meals to people in need as a result of the virus. It reminded me of lyrics I had recently written about identifying with other people’s pain and the value of asking for help, which resonated more now than ever. I was inspired to go back to those lyrics and incorporating a children’s choir helped bring out the meaning of ‘Say The Word’ and really spoke to the main idea of Panera’s campaign – we’re all in this together.”
