Die moderne Metal Crossover Truppe BUTCHER BABIES veröffentlicht heute ihre neueste halb balladeske Single `Last December`, der für Sangerin Heidi Sheppard sehr persönlich ist und recht schwermütig aus den Boxen kommt.
Heidi erklärt auf den Social Media Plattformen über den Song:
“I’ve been really open about my mental struggles throughout my years in Butcher Babies. I’ve always been an advocate for an open discussion on sharing emotions and healing. Heck, I take a little, pink pill every day that releases a chemical I had missing in my brain. But, sometimes, that just isn’t enough.
On the heels of Mental Health Awareness Month, I feel as though this is an appropriate time to invite you into my world.
On June 9th, we will be releasing a song called “Last December”. I have always found that putting my emotions onto paper is my most powerful therapy. After experiencing suicidal ideation in December of 2019 and ultimately following a tiny light out of a deep, dark, lonely hole, I began to put these thoughts into words. Just short little poems.
These words and more became, “Last December”.
This song was written via zoom in April of 2020 with one of the most talented writers I’ve ever had the pleasure of working with, Blair Daly. Between Blair, myself, Henry and Carla, we combed through these writings and came up with one of the most beautiful, vulnerable, and also UGLY songs we’ve ever written.
To me, this is my favorite BB song. Not only off of the new album, but in my whole career.
I’d love to invite you to make an appearance in the new video. Just a couple sentences of what pulled you out of a moment like this. After all, this isn’t about just me. It’s about us all. It’s about LIFE, it’s about GROWTH, and ultimately it’s about SURVIVING!
If you’d like, feel free to send your video to heidithebutcher@hotmail.com
Love you!
Heidi“

Lyrics:
Wasn’t sure I’d make it past December
Thought I’d broken all that I could break
I tripped into the dawn of my surrender
I’m so glad you didn’t last December
I thank god you didn’t last December
Every night I dream of you
Then you’re not so far away
I try to die to be with you
I breathe in black out, and start to fade
I put on a smile so they won’t discover
A cut so deep I know I won’t recover
Burns so cold, losing all control
Wasn’t sure I’d make it past December
Thought I’d broken all that I could break
I tripped into the dawn of my surrender
I’m so glad you didn’t last December
I thank god you didn’t last December
Maybe I’m just not enough
Maybe things will never change
Maybe just a little blood
To let them know I’m not OK
I can’t remember if there’s words unspoken
I can’t remember ‚cause my heart is frozen
Paralyzed by the ice inside
Wasn’t sure I’d make it past December
Thought I’d broken all that I could break
I tripped into the dawn of my surrender
I’m so glad you didn’t last December
And I’m gonna still make it last December
December
December
December
