Flesh & Blood - Connor Roy
Flesh & Blood by Connor Roy
Flesh & Blood was released on April 12, 2019. Written and Produced by Connor Roy and Alec Garnica.
"Flesh & Blood" is a song that was written as a cry for the world today. It seems that every time I turn on the news, I wonder where the hope, joy, and peace are at. It's difficult to see the bright side of life when, in reality, the world around you looks very bleak. The song is a reminder that it's okay not to be okay. It's okay to struggle, to experience sorrow, to not be at peace. Hold on. Have faith. Stay strong. This fight is not a fight against flesh and blood.

SONG REVIEW
“Vocally pleasing & lyrically raw”
If you like NEEDTOBREATHE or Imagine Dragons, you’ll love this song. His lyrics are real, giving a message of hope to its listeners. I love the soulful tone in his voice and the almost southern rock vibe you get when listening to Flesh & Blood. Definitely a must for your music library.
I look forward to hearing more music from Connor in the future.
LYRICS
VERSE 1
Can you hear my cry in the dead of night
Reaching out for someone to show me the light
I've been searching for answers for far too long
And these sleepless nights don't make me strong
PRE-CHORUS 1
But I need to know
Why these questions in my mind
Have got me feeling low
CHORUS
Where's the hope in the struggle
Where's the joy in the sorrow
Where's the peace in the battle
This fight is not a fight against flesh and blood
VERSE 2
Can you end this rage inside my soul
And fill this void in my hollow bones
For many years I've wandered far
With nothing left but a restless heart
PRE-CHORUS 2
I still need to know
Why these questions in my mind
Have got me feeling low
BRIDGE
Can these bones come to life
Can this dead heart beat again
Would you breathe upon these lifeless bodies
Lying in the sand
