The lyrics read like a gritty novel, a tale of urban struggle and unyielding spirit. But it's not just about the words – it's about the sonic storm that accompanies them. The guitars, drenched in distortion, unleash a torrent of emotion. Every beat, and every strum summons lightning bolts, adding a seismic quality that rattles your very core.
As Freund bares his heart in the verses, the melody becomes a visceral venture. The chorus, with its relentless chant of 'I'm kicking dirt,' evolves into a mantra of survival, a war cry against the harsh blows life throws your way. The vigour builds and crashes like a tsunami, leaving you breathless and exhilarated.
The guitar work is nothing short of a revelation – Freund wields his instrument like a weapon, a fiery extension of his storytelling prowess. The .380 Sig Sauer becomes a metaphorical phoenix rising from the ashes, a symbol of change and transformation in the face of adversity.
The song takes turns, navigating the peaks and valleys of life. This song also introduces a moment of respite, with Freund seeking solace in Lincoln Park and praying for rain to cleanse the darkness. It's a poetic interlude in the midst of the melodic maelstrom.
'Kicking Dirt' pulls you into Freund's world of labour, resilience, and unapologetic authenticity. It's literally a turbulent ride through the highs and lows of the human experience.
Save the date! Mike Freund's much-anticipated track, 'Kicking Dirt,' is scheduled for release on November 22, 2023!
