Singer-songwriter Dakota Gallivan has announced the release of his debut album, Life Is For The Living, out on May 16. The album’s title and overarching message was inspired by a Langston Hughes poem: “Life is for the living/Death is for the dead/Let life be like music/And death a note unsaid.” Together, the songs represent Gallivan’s embrace of life in all its forms and phases, telling stories of love and betrayal, grief and ghosts, taking leaps and saying goodbye. They’re told through high energy rock with diverse arrangements, sweeping instrumentation, honest, vulnerable lyrics, and melodic hooks that stay with you. 

Written by Gallivan and recorded at yellow DOG Studios in San Marcos, TX, this ten-song collection was produced by Grammy Award-winner David Percefull and features a bevy of notable Texas musicians, including Geoff Queen on slide guitar and resonator, Carter Arrington on lead guitar, and Phil Hook on drums. Indie rock stalwart Bob D’Amico (Sebadoh, No Chief, The Fiery Furnaces) was also a key collaborator.

Loved by a Few

With each passing thought 
time no longer exists 
With each passing thought 
I no longer exists 

Tired of the fuck ups 
Tired of the letdowns 
Get out of my own way
Keep myself down 

Erase what no longer serves a purpose 
Rewire the feelings in a dire sense of fashion
Rearrange my life cuz this shit ain’t working 
I’m not okay the voices say I’m not worth it 

Im not worth it drown in the sea of fucking torture that’s what you do to me 
Back and forth with the bullshit 
Back and forth such bullshit
 I fucking knew it the writing was on the wall we all knew it 
I’m tired of the fuck ups 
Tired of the letdowns 
Get out of my own way
Keep myself down 

Erase what no longer serves a purpose 
Rewire the feelings in a dire sense of fashion
Rearrange my life cuz this shit ain’t working 
I’m not okay the voices say I’m not worth it

Verse 1 

Your pain’s contagious, it hangs in the air,
Every word you whisper brings despair.
I see the cracks in the life you weave,
Shadow curse pulling on my sleeve.

Pre-Chorus 

Your sorrow binds, it won’t let go,
If I stay too long, it will swallow me whole.

Chorus 

I won’t drown in your misery’s tide,
I cut the cord, I won’t stand by your side.
Darkness spreads like a burning flame,
I’ll walk away, I won’t play your game.

Verse 2

Your eyes are hollow, they steal the light,
Dragging me deeper into endless night.
Every step closer, I feel the decay,
If I don’t escape, I’ll waste away.

Pre-Chorus 

Your sorrow binds, it won’t let go,
If I stay too long, it will swallow 

I won’t drown in your misery’s tide,
I cut the cord, I won’t stand by your side.
Darkness spreads like a burning flame,
I’ll walk away, I won’t play your game.

Bridge 

Infected shadows reaching out for me,
But I won’t fall to your tragedy.
No cure, no healing, no saving grace,
I’ll carve my freedom, I’ll leave no trace.

Final Chorus (Layered, powerful)

I won’t drown in your misery’s tide,
I cut the cord, I won’t stand by your side.
Darkness spreads like a burning flame,
I’ll walk away, I won’t play your game.

Outro (Soft, fading vocals)

Your shadow lingers… but I walk free.
No infection will bury me.
