Song of the Month: “Dying to Live” by Edgar Winters

Editor’s Note: Alright, picture me at 19 years old still in the college angst of “what’s the meaning of my life?” The song will make more sense that way as I can still remember singing along with my friend, Bobby Jackson, on the deck of our apartment when it was playing. I’m a pure child of the 60s electronic rock and roll and as such I loved Edgar and Johnny Winter as much or more than their more famous brethren. This song features a simple, haunting keyboard and strings behind Edgar’s bluesy, pleading voice – yep I’m a sucker.

]Favorite verse: “So I’ll keep fighting to live until there’s nothing to fight, and I’ll keep trying to see until the end is in sight, you know I’m trying to give so come on, give me a try.”
