Global superstar Lewis Capaldi releases new EP Survive and one of his most raw and personal songs to date – the simply heartbreaking “The Day That I Die.”
Arriving on the heels of his critically acclaimed return to touring after nearly two years away, the track quickly became a standout moment of the set, moving fans, and Capaldi himself, to tears. Written about a time when, in his own words onstage, “I didn’t think I would be here anymore,” the song captures Capaldi at his most vulnerable. “On the day that I die, tell my mother I was smiling ‘cause I know that she’ll be crying,” he sings, in a gut-wrenching depiction.
Survive features all four tracks that Capaldi has released this year. Most recently, he shared the post-breakup anthem, “Almost,” and the soul-stirring “Something In The Heavens,” which became his tenth UK Top 10 single and details loss in all of its forms, but also the glimmers of hope that remain. Before that came the EP’s title track, the bold and brave anthem, “Survive.”
