“When You’re Home” feels like slow dancing in the backyard, where the music isn’t around you, it’s inside you.

It’s not a breezy song, instead it carries the weight of emotion, the depth of feeling so much for a person that it’s too vast to explain—so you let your heart sing.

Rough with a smoothness, rocked out, and the sizzle of hip hop swagger make “Still Not Dead” a good time every time you press play. It’s a party in the graveyard, y’all, and a toast to living with urgency. Let’s get it.
