ABC/Image Group LA Eric Church is confronting some demons in the latest preview track from his Desperate Man album.
In “Monsters,” The Chief starts by recalling how the scary things of childhood seem to disappear when you turn on the light. He goes on to explore how things change as you get older.
“Anymore when a restless feelin’ keeps me up at night/Fallin’ on my knees is my new turnin’ on the light,” he sings in the chorus. “I keep my faith intact, make sure my prayers are said/’Cause I’ve learned that the monsters ain’t the ones beneath the bed.”
The North Carolina native has unveiled pieces of quite a few songs from his new record, but “Monsters” is one of only three you can stream or download in its entirety. You can also check out its lyric video on YouTube.
The other two are “Heart Like a Wheel,” and the album’s top-15 title track. The full Desperate Man album arrives October 5.
