I Won't Back Down

As it does with so many people, this song resonates with me in many different ways and has become part of my general outlook on life. For me, it’s less a combative thing and more about holding firm to certain principles. Loyalty. Decency. Humility. All big words and and big ideas generally, but they are important and they’re important to me. Maybe this is not a unique association that I’m making, but it’s one I feel keenly and one that I think is expressed more concisely than in any other song I’ve ever heard.Listen to the song here: https://youtu.be/nvlTJrNJ5lACheck out Lucinda Williams' version here: https://youtu.be/S6ezmBtmvUsGo watch Barnyard!
