(NASHVILLE, TN) A hungry child on a dirty floor. A lonely man and his silver Porsche. A single mother working a second shift. A teenage girl with scars on her wrists. These are just some of the characters that Lee Brice paints in his new single, “When the Kingdom Comes.” From the very first note, this song has the power to give you goosebumps and leave a lasting impression on your heart.
In an exclusive interview with Breitbart, Lee Brice opens up about the inspiration behind his latest release and the message he hopes to convey through his music. The country music star, known for hits like “I Don’t Dance” and “Rumor,” describes “When the Kingdom Comes” as a “poignant musical exploration of compassion, hope, and faith.”
The song’s lyrics tell the story of various individuals facing difficult circumstances in their lives. From a child struggling with hunger and poverty to a teenage girl battling inner demons, these characters represent the struggles that many people face every day. But amidst the struggles, there is also a sense of hope and faith that shines through in the song.
Brice explains that the idea for the song came to him while he was on tour and witnessed the impact of poverty and hardship on people’s lives. He shares, “I was playing a show in a small town, and before the show, I saw a kid outside the venue, sitting on a dirty floor, looking up at me with the saddest eyes. It broke my heart. That image stayed with me, and I started thinking about all the other people I had seen in similar situations – the single mom working hard to provide for her family, the lonely man driving his fancy car but feeling empty inside.”
As a father himself, Brice felt a deep sense of empathy towards these individuals and wanted to share their stories through his music. He says, “I wanted to give a voice to those who often go unnoticed and remind people to have compassion and empathy towards others, no matter what their circumstances may be.”
“When the Kingdom Comes” is not just a song about struggles and hardships; it also carries a message of hope and faith. The lyrics speak of a better tomorrow and a kingdom where all are equal, regardless of their past or present. Brice hopes that this message will inspire listeners to have faith and believe that things can get better, even in the darkest of times.
In the interview, Brice also talks about the powerful music video for “When the Kingdom Comes,” which was shot in Nashville and features real people from the community. He shares, “We wanted to capture the authenticity of the song and show the real faces of those who inspired it. It was an emotional experience, but I am so proud of how it turned out.”
The music video has already received a lot of positive feedback from fans and music critics, with many praising Brice for using his platform to shed light on important social issues.
In addition to his musical talents, Brice is also known for his philanthropy work. He is a dedicated supporter of various charities, including St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital and the Wounded Warrior Project. Through his music and actions, he hopes to inspire others to give back and make a positive impact in their communities.
As our interview comes to an end, Brice leaves us with the message, “I hope this song will remind people to have compassion, empathy, and love for one another. We are all in this together, and when the kingdom comes, there will be no more struggles, only love and equality.”
