GRACE GONNA FALL

A Kingdom Divided is a mid-tempo country ballad that digs into the tension between heart and mind. A gritty male baritone leads the track, supported by warm female harmonies and a blend of acoustic guitar, fiddle with a hint of Irish influence, piano, and gentle reverb that sets a reflective tone. The arrangement grows naturally—from intimate acoustic moments to fuller sections with brush drums, bass, electric guitar swells, pedal steel, and soft organ—to mirror the emotional weight of the song.

The story centers on the inner battle that can happen when love feels fragile, when the mind and heart refuse to agree, and when the foundation beneath a relationship starts to shift. As the song builds, layered harmonies and slide guitar add warmth and longing, ending on an understated fade that leaves a lingering sense of hope, heartbreak, and honesty.

Lyrics by Mark Maust.

A Kingdom Divided

Dead Dave is the musical persona of Jeff Tyson, a North Carolina songwriter whose music walks the line between Southern grit and heartfelt reflection. Blending country, Americana, and rock influences, Dead Dave’s sound is raw, soulful, and unmistakably human; rooted in small-town stories, hard-won resilience, and the beauty found in imperfection.

With vivid storytelling, Dead Dave crafts songs that hit straight at the heart, from the anthemic defiance of “Tonight We Dance” to the haunting geopolitical “World Gone Mad”, and the poignant holiday ballad “The Ballerina.” His lyrics speak to the people who’ve been knocked down, gotten back up, and learned to find grace in the struggle.

Drawing comparisons to Chris Stapleton, Morgan Wallen, and Zach Bryan, Dead Dave bridges the old and new, mixing roots authenticity with the emotional polish of modern country production. His music feels intimate yet cinematic, the kind of songs that sound just as powerful on a front porch as they do through stadium speakers.

Whether it's a song about love, loss, faith, or finding your place in a noisy world, Dead Dave’s music is a reminder that even when life gets messy, there’s still melody in the dust.
