I wrote the poetry for this song years ago when i was feeling down and low. Then adapted it to this hopeful tune recently. This poetry and music is mostly about having faith and giving your best shot at something. Someone once told me that human beings are like a raw lump of iron, it can be turned from something crude and ugly into a beautiful piece of metalwork. Yet, you have to go through tough processes, from fire to water and back on the anvil and the same with our personal tribulations, we need to give everything our best shot.

Wishing Our Lives Away

I was Moscow born, London Raised and now falling in love with Texas for this past year. 

Whether I play folk or country, I haven’t yet picked and I don’t think I need to pick. I just grew up on @Johnny Cash Bob Dylan Woody Guthrie and Marty Robbins. 

This music runs on lucky strikes gold, Miller Highlife and Arran Whiskey. Not sponsored. 

Lots of love 

Marty Black
