Stream/Download "Trying to Live" Here
Country artist Nick Hickman has announced his first single “Trying To Live” off his highly anticipated album to be released later this year. Co-written by Jeff Glasscock and Hickman wrote this song out of frustration with the premature loss of loved ones, tired of the "what ifs" and missed opportunities. The lyrics encourage listeners to live life fully, prioritizing meaningful actions and memories over mere pursuits of wealth, and instead to be remembered for love, actions, and the memories created.
“This is my finest creation yet, four times better than anything prior. Truly a labor of love, with every ounce of sweat and tears poured into it. I handled every aspect, from writing to production to engineering. It's a testament to the dedication of my team, and I couldn't be prouder,” Nick Hickman proudly declared.
“Trying to Live is a high-energy song that makes you want to run out and do all the things you’ve been putting off because you think you’ll always have the time later. Nothing is promised in this life, there are no guarantees for anything; Trying to Live is the reminder everyone needs to jump out of bed every morning with a smile on their face and a good attitude towards crushing life and making the most of every moment!” exclaimed co-writer Jeff Glasscock.
The official video was captured in Nashville and produced by Jordan Dziekan.
“Trying To Live” was recorded, engineered, and produced at Whiskey Neat Records in Nashville by Nick Hickman, Christian Santangelo and Jeff Glasscock. Session players on the recording include Andy Hull (Drums), Dow Tomlin (Bass), Jeff Glasscock (Guitars), Will Adkins (Keys), Andy Ellison (Steel Guitar, Mandolin and Banjo), and Christian Santangelo (Harmonies).

“Death is coming for us all whether we like it or not
So I suggest we make the most out of the time we got
What if we laughed a little more stressed a little less
Made the plan took the trip drank the wine had the sex
I wanna live like I might now wake up
I wanna make love like were trying to make up
I wanna see the world and chase the stars to where the sun begins
While everybodys waiting to die im over here trying to live
One day we’ll all just be words written in a eulogy
But until then im gonna give em all something worth writing
What if we cared a little less about what people thought
And cared a little more about those dreams getting caught…”
