“Music may not be a prescription, but it is medicine, especially when the lyrics of a song are relatable,” says The Country Note. “Songwriter, author, and motivational speaker Shane Michael Taylor‘s “I’m Giving In” is one of those songs that can help those going through any difficult period in their life.”
“One of my fondest memories as a kid was lying in bed in my jammies, watching the ACM awards,” says Shane. “We were on the east coast, so the suspense of who would win ‘Entertainer of the Year’ was always right around 11pm – way past my bedtime for a school night. But, seeing those artists play live would just rev me up so much that my mom knew that there was no way in the world I’d sleep! So she’d let me stay up until the show was over. The winners would sometimes tell everyone to follow their dreams no matter the struggles. To be accepted and recognized by the Academy – and to have one of my songs played alongside such great artists, some of whom I’ve watched as a kid lying in that bed, feels surreal”
Shane’s newest single was inspired by his personal story of experiencing life from a wheelchair battling severe cerebral palsy and the feelings of isolation which were amplified by the pandemic. Through his perseverance and spirited disposition, Shane uses his writing to motivate, inspire and entertain others who may need a dose of insight. Providing the vocals on this release for the inspirational songwriter that cannot vocally communicate is recording artist Matt Dame.
