My Dying Spirit
Written by: Greyson Chance & Jason Reeves
Produced by: Martin Wave
LYRICS:
I’m barely on my feet mama
I’m barely holding on by a thread
Every night I lose a different friend
I thought I had it how I wanted
Far away as I could ever dream
I don’t think California’s my speed
All on my own, all I know
So if I’m high like those other guys you’ve kissed
Maybe I’ll find you in my bed again
But I’m all alone, living on the edge
Right at the limit
Will I ever heal my dying spirit
I’m hanging on an endless hunger
It keeps the tears out the devil’s eyes
I don’t eat because he tells me that it’s fine
I’m barely even standing now
But goddamn I need another round
I can hear my name out in the crowd
If I was a hotel lobby, you’d be mighty fucking sorry
To be staying at this piece of shit right off Highway 9
On the floor of my kitchen, on a vaporizer mission
Find a little calm, please ease my mind
I’m so sorry Alexa, I won’t make her graduation
But tell Sloaney girl she’s the apple of my eye
Tell her, take your time
Every night I’m hanging by a thread

Always … take your time. I hope you’ve been enjoying the album 🤍

[@PreciousJoy]

Rewatching this beautiful MV as we speak king!

[@erivandoalmeidafreires5536]

Simply Beautiful... 🥲❤️

[@msspilkes307]

Keep inspiring .... Keep moving forward. 🎶

[@suzchurch09]

I just discovered you. Where have I been? You evolved perfectly! Your music is unique as your lyrics. I really like it. It has content. I appreciate music where you can tell the musicians are real people who have lived real lives and you can relate. Life can be difficult but how you overcome them can make you shine the brightest. Never stop reaching for the stars.

[@meidaswendyh8462]

Tragically Beautiful!!

[@dreamzofhorses]

My daughter found your rendition of Paparazzi on KZbin years ago (when KZbin & I was much younger!) and she shared it with me. We must have rewatched it 100xs. My daughter was murdered in 2010 shortly after. So I know those dark nights of the soul on the kitchen floor you sing of intimately. What counts is getting up again each morning. That is where our strength is reborn. As well as compassion and maturity and most of what makes us amazing spirits living this human experience. I like to imagine my daughter is watching you from Heaven above, so proud of you and the music you continue to make. When ever I hear you, you bring those good memories back to me, of her and I watching that first video of yours, totally captivated. I’m sure you have an angel watching over you!

[@rhondahunt8080]

I'm so very sorry to hear about your daughter. Ir takes a very special strength to carry on.

[@tom-ss2mn]

Sorry about your loss

[@gabby8388]

❤

[@dreamerjs]

Thank you for sharing this! I’m so sorry for the circumstances of losing your daughter! She is definitely shining down on both of you! It’s wonderful you have fond memories listening to him. Greyson is amazing with his gift! Keep holding on!

[@lorrainelamour7224]

😇💥💕💜

[@Angielove312]

He's so underrated in the music industry. His music is amazing

[@cormacdavid7355]

Hello Angie 👋 how are you ??

[@reybeloart]

Se ele está "fora da indústria" é prova de que é realmente bom...e forte!

[@bushlovesska]

Agreed

[@hivisboys]

i dont know much or anything about this guy except the initial viral video but you can tell he didnt sell out. this is legit.

[@justindalton9801]

Grayson your day is soon to come to get the fans and attention you deserve. You voice is unreal and truly breathtaking. There isn't a song I haven't cried to. I can't wait to meet you one day. Keep on singing because you are truly so beautiful inside and out. Take care for now. Cannot wait for this song i am beyond ready and been counting down the days now the hours.

[@tyronlowrie3137]

This song and music video left me in utter tears. It is a song which has many different messages and speaks to the soul. I’m downloading this immediately as it was utterly beautiful in its journey

[@greyson97]

thank you for this kind note (':

[@ziggypop123]

Ouch, this song hurts so much! Powerful.

[@justindalton9801]

He is unbelievable. Please like, comment and share this amazing masterpiece. WE ARE SPEECHLESS! I can't wait to see you in person. My best friend and I had tickers to you in Tampa where we live and unfortunately the show was canceled. If we have to fly to see you soon we will!!!

[@carojerezano9689]

His voice leaves me speechless every fucking time

[@ryancorkum6085]

Oh Greyson, the entire album is art. I can't stop listening to it. Thank you for putting yourself out there with such honesty and vulnerability. You are remarkable and you are loved. I hope that this album gives you both pride and peace.

[@GarrettWatts]

This is stunning

[@MattIsTheCat]

Hey. How did you just now notice this video? Is it a coincidence? Edit: Sorry for bothering you sir.

[@pannamal5182]

This song pierced me to the core. And I’m 70 years old. 👏

[@tbaker615bj]

Young man, I must have been living under a rock, because I've never heard of you until today. The article written about your relationship with Ellen and how your singing career started, is how I became aware of you. I then went to KZbin and pulled up several videos of you, particularly the video of you singing Paparazzi on Ellen. I was impressed. I next decided to listen to something more current, so I clicked on "My Dying Spirit." As I listened, I fell in love with your incredible voice. It is very unique and welcomed in today's world. It moved me and I wanted to let you know, because that doesn't happen to me much anymore. I hope that you continue to make music and celebrate your success, because you definitely deserve it. Much love from Tennessee.

[@justglenn1037]

You really believe he has a good voice? Hes not bad, but there are 1,000's of undiscovered singers on KZbin who are MUCH better than this guy. His vibrato is forced. It doesnt sound full and natural. His music is more about story-telling than it is about quality

[@plantsbyhailey8326]

you should listen to his acoustic version of "shut up"... its heavenly

[@camilod9523]

@@justglenn1037 a voice that sounds good is not a good voice, because if it's saying random words it's just a voice. The story telling is what makes it a good voice. Sure, there are other way better sounding voices but if you think that way, you'll never find a good one since you're always thinking it could be better. The story telling is what gives it the final touch, that, not everyone can do even if they sound heavenly.

[@smokerscough2907]

Amazing talent as a kid, but even better, more extraordinary talent as an adult. This is the music and message we desperately need to hit the charts. You deserve SO much more attention for your talent and not something that happened a decade ago.

[@reneeturcottecicigoi9435]

I just heard this song today and I didn’t even realize that you were the young boy that sang my most favourite version of “paparazzi”. Wow. Your talent has only gotten better ❤

[@cormacdavid7355]

Hello Renee 👋 how are you ??

[@jamitownsend9125]

Grayson, you're such a beautiful human being. I was your age when I discovered this poem and it had a profound affect on me (I'm now 55). Never compromise who you are and never settle for less than you deserve...as an artist or as a lover and friend. (*The Voice) BEAUTY Somewhere inside each person there is beauty In every soul lives loneliness no words can tell The human heart holds love beyond all knowing The outer shell does not describe a person well Minds can behold what cannot reach the vision Hearts can hear cries too soundless to be heard Souls can be sensitive to hopes and longings beyond all sight sound or spoken word A caring heart looks under the surface - sensing the ache behind an angry face feeling the longing need for recognition and offering acceptance in it's place (author unknown)

[@cormacdavid7355]

Hi Jami 👋

[@agesUtube]

You’re so young and yet I think you have lived through more than most people twice or 3x your age. Peace is inside you and I hope you feel well most days. Thank you for the music, I've always liked your style, and in this, i can feel the emotion. Be well Greyson. ☮️💕🎵

[@CANDIKA_UGAL]

Please keep healthy and stay Alive. Watchin this clip is like.. You are trying to survive from depression,trying survive (in video that is many cross in the wall) trying struggle (in video that you in a room that many newspapper or something else)and keep fighting to life (in video that u wear nasogastric tube in your nose anda your shoulder bleed and you runaway) Keep alive GREYSON CHANCE Sorry for my bad english.

[@Na-nc6qt]

[@erikvaldez8154]

[@gagadaily]

Beautiful song, incredible album!

[@anthonyb.9336]

I was watchint a video if prodigy singers, ran into Grayson and followed that down the rabbit hole to this song. The lyrics to this song amd thr chorus, combined with the emotion is perfect. Why doesn't this single have 18 million views?

[@maxandsnax]

I'm addicted to this album.

[@alangrosenheider9654]

I am in tears.

[@canuckeh4670]

You have been an inspiration for my thoughts since I first seen your KZbin video when you were younger, thanks man .

[@franciscandiyey]

THIS IS ART!!

[@DarlaAnne]

Damn. This is amazing.

[@tawatchaibunlead1478]

I'm your fan from Thailand, we met 11 years ago. I can't speak English just want to tell you that I'm rooting for you always and forever.❤

[@Kiwiltroops]

It’s so magical 😭

[@miss.verständnis]

I heard this Song about a thousand times i think but crying every time literally . I feel you with every Neuron

[@micahkidd2138]

Amazing dude, I literally just found about your childhood fame here in 2023, glad I didn't know about it then. Now I can quickly see what an amazing talent you are today. Amazing!!

[@Chuck-q7g]

This song is so powerful

[@minecraftplay5915]

Greyson Chance best

[@rhondahunt8080]

How have I missed hearing of this talented artist? Damn, he's good!

[@cormacdavid7355]

Hello Rhonda 👋 how are you ??

[@chloesmith2664]

Just watched his paparazzi rendition from 12 years ago… didn’t know he was still making music, wow

[@joshuamartinpryce8424]

A dead spirit is a worthless thinker. But a determined and focused person has a living, revived spirit.

[@melissavanderberg2649]

I'm in love with this, his voice changed and it's just so beautiful 😍

[@cormacdavid7355]

Hello Melissa 👋 how are you ??

[@juliannepitzele8641]

This beautiful spirit just gave me goosebumps, so incredibly real ❣️

[@joshuafoster8726]

Where have you been all my lonely life?

[@Ibarramarylin89]

Wow! Just found this video. Very beautiful and powerful. Damn! Keep Moving Forward ! Anything is Possible, you just have to have faith and believe it in your heart and soul. Have a blessed week! 😊👍👋

[@cormacdavid7355]

Hello Marilyn 👋 how are you ??

[@Cloclo1125]

The bridge dedicated to his niece, telling her "take your time" is what really gets me

[@ianstephenson5551]

Where did this come from. It spoke to me in a way that no other video ever has. It hurt, made me sad, made me look at myself. Made me change.

[@stevenjones2371]

good to see you still doing awesome good song

[@bubbbles3773]

This song is amazing, I could feel the emotion radiating off of every word ✨💖✨

[@salmadaam]

This is so cinematic but still feels very intimate and personal, I just love it more and more the more I watch it, same goes to the album, been listening non stop, can’t decide for a favorite song, ever one gives me chills and honestly I’ve been sobbing non stop 😭🤍

[@wennit]

Très bon clip. Excellent chanteur.

[@MoMo-mo8bg]

Dear child when did you grow up? I had paparazzi on my phone forever. You have so much talent and depth. I am so looking forward to your continued journey. Your music has spoken to soo many of all ages. What a gift you have.

[@Lylo-mj8ek]

BRAVO! I get chills thinking how lucky we actually are that you choose to share yourself and your beautiful talent. Keep your heart as beautiful as you look, not to sound hokey but you are one in a billion Beautiful Man. Much Love and Respect. Peace.

[@pinkey943]

I really like this.

[@cormacdavid7355]

Hello Linda 👋 how are you ??

[@stephanienoteboom7779]

I find myself pondering what your story must be. From the paparazzi cover to this...the material is dense. The emotions thick, like choking on silt in your throat. A linear progression of the human experience. You interest me.

[@JustOlls]

This album is just touching my soul. 🥺

[@carlospretel204]

This is a incredible song. Thanks for that. Ill be happy in my car with this song driving

[@kayc591]

Wow so glad to find this! Just watched you sing paparazzi from all those years ago. So glad you’re still doing music!

[@Paula-tc6tj]

you never disappoint to deliver multiple songs per album that I need to listen to on repeat for hours

[@cormacdavid7355]

Hi Paula 👋

[@JhonyLeft]

Why can’t I stop crying?! 😭

[@aheok6483]

my dying spirit and hemingway, 74 rue de cardinal were my faves after listening to the full album!! pleasantly surprised that there's an mv for my dying spirit, it's so so good!!

[@marylynnedequito8840]

Grey. This is awesome 💚😊 I love you! I am your forever fan...

[@MightyMonk360]

Talk about change, you look so different compared to 12 years ago like whole a different person but your singing has evolved to captivate the hearts of many who were in dire need of it. Thanks for sharing your talent with the world. Keep doing what you do!

[@lukaskrueger3396]

In my mind i still See you as a little Boy on the Piano. What a Journey 😊

[@Mikeforealz]

So raw. So emotional. So soulful. So good.

[@Traben]

Thx so much Greyson ❤ ! Palladium is my fave Album. You kick ass!!!! 😘

[@tinyclangerusa]

just beautiful

[@AGEHAMIL]

How was this song never on my radar. It's fantastic. And the video is quite moving. You're a great actor as well as singer/songwriter.

[@Skinniest_Kween]

Obsessed with the album ‼️‼️✨✨😭🫶❤️🔥

[@angelabeck4832]

This was absolutely incredible. From one Oklahoman to another. Keep your soul happy, that's the most important thing. But, wow just incredible!!!

[@cormacdavid7355]

Hello Angela 👋 how are you ??

[@dancingheron]

Raw emotion in song and video. If you haven't felt some of this in your lifetime, here it is.

[@darrell3030]

The depiction is amazing and unsettling. I've been dealing with a friend who is a heroine addict for four years now. Such familiar and saddening images. It's so heartbreaking and exhausting 😪

[@thomasgehrke1814]

this song is fire. how does it not have more views?

[@brearussell4756]

I’ve loved Grayson for years and I lost his name in my brain and I am so happy I found him again 😭 he’s so grown up now. I remember I was like 9 when I first found him

[@einapetssrewolf1077]

Your voice is amazing and very musical. But life isn't all roses because you have such talent. You can make a good living because you have phenomenal talent, which translates to 200,000+. Live the life kid, better than most anyone on the planet! And bring joy to others. Maybe not as much fame and money as you can imagine but you can achieve more than most on that voice alone!

[@johnpickup6073]

Brilliant song and brilliant video. I saw you on tour and you were brilliant. Its about time you released your music on CD though so the public can purchase them and give you an income worthy of your talent x

[@evaparker6466]

I have been a fan of yours since the Paparazzi days when I was 11! I am now 23, and have been following you ever since. I got to meet you in 2011 when you toured with Miranda Cosgrove in Orlando, FL, and I remember to this day how kind and genuine you were. This album is by far my favorite you have put out. I can hear the skill, intentionality, and talent poured into each song- you truly have a gift. My Dying Spirit is my new favorite of yours, which is a tall order considering I love so much of your music. Keep making music and you will always have support! ❤

[@cormacdavid7355]

Hello Eva 👋 how are you ??

[@shakeitangelable]

This song is beautiful.

[@cormacdavid7355]

Hello Kathy 👋 how are you ??

[@thetrixter767]

Beautiful. Amazing voice. Truly.

[@Lowly]

Incredible song matched by an equally impressive music video. Take a bow Greyson

[@morganwells6603]

Wow, just wow. Most powerful song I've heard in years.

[@ReaseRice]

Picture this: you wake up in the early morning and it’s dark out. you step outside on your back porch and there’s a rainstorm coming through. you stand in the middle of the deck and got this song blasting in your ears. you feel the wind rippling through your clothes and hair, the rain hitting your face and then the beat drops and it’s just you and the beauty of this world…

[@cherrydavid28]

Been a fan since day 1 and will continue to support you! Never stop making music for us! We love you!

[@thatmadcoffeeaddict9163]

This song has those early to mid 2000's vibes that I grew up with and I'm HERE for it! So good to hear it in new music 🎶

[@halo-halo1204]

Ah the wonders of the You Tube algorithm. It recommended the Paparazzi video I had watched many times a many years ago. So I went looking for what else had you been up to and came across this. A fantastic and powerful song well sung. I wish you all the best. And not sure if a 56 year Brit is your demographic but you have my subscription and just off to add you to my Spotify list. Stay strong.

[@joanross853]

Wow!!!

[@cormacdavid7355]

Hello Joan 👋 how are you ??

[@calison19]

Thanks, Greyson. I enjoyed crying on this first thing in the morning.
