The Word Alive released their new record Real today via Fearless Records and decided to show fans their tribute song to the late Suicide Silence vocalist Mitch Lucker. As someone who usually doesn't care about lyric videos either way, this one is nicely done considering the subject matter.
Vocalist Telle Smith explained the track quite a bit.
“‘Never Forget’ is the song I took the longest to write for Real. I wanted it to be a song that memorialized our friend Mitch Lucker who passed away, but would also uplift and support the remaining members of Suicide Silence. I felt the song musically drew me in perfectly, which is why I wrote the lyrics for this particular track. It was dark and sad, but somehow upbeat at the same time. I also wanted it to be a song where anyone who had lost someone that meant the world to them or someone they know could relate to. Unfortunately, loss is a part of life and coping might not be easy, but there are so many of us to support one another. This song hopefully will bring peace to some, and a feeling of unity for others. Above all, I hope Mitch is headbanging to it wherever he is.”
The video features photos of family members and friends lost by The Word Alive members and their fans, which were submitted through the band's Facebook page. Here's the lyric video:
