Dead City Heartache

Runnin' Young

This is a group of songs with lyrics written by my father, Richard Jackson, and the rest written by him, myself, and my brother Daniel.  It describes my fathers journey from being an addict to being clean, and finding the strength in him to help others and figure out the pain inside of himself that was driving his addiction.  My father really turned his life around in a positive way and became an addiction specialist, helping many others in their journey to sobriety.  He was a sponsor for many people when he passed away in 2018 and impacted many people's live positively.  

This group of songs describes his journey through his addiction, thoughts on the repercussions of his actions, childhood memories, decisions he had to make to be on the path he found himself on, and many more thoughts on addiction and sobriety.  

At times, it has very dark imagery, but ultimately it describes his search to find a higher path, and thoughts on how he can discover his own purpose.  Like I said before, it has very dark imagery, but I believe it has a positive overall message to it.

I hope these lyrics/music inspire you and give insight to a life struggling for understanding and empathy
