Time feels endless until life gives you a reason to look at it differently. Daniel Ray Hilsinger's new single, "Your Life Will Be Over Before Too Long," confronts that realization head-on with a raw, intimate country perspective grounded in mortality, resilience, and fear.

The song is based on Hilsinger's own experience with bone marrow disease in his 20s, when he began singing and learning guitar in the hospital. That gives the release a personal subtext that music was part of learning to face fear, and an awareness of mortality was part of his understanding of time.

The track is a frantic call to be more mindful of the days we have and not to take life for granted. And then the emphasis on a wild youth, suggesting that growing up in difficult times can change what matters to us and how we choose to move forward. The opening track and release from the forthcoming record "Nothing Lasts Forever," "Your Life Will Be Over Before Too Long," is a very personal musical meditation on perspective earned and a call to value time before it is too late.
