“Live in Peace” is the latest single from Elise Lieberth, released February 12, 2021. The song is an emotional Pop/Country examination of the singer’s complicated relationship with her recently deceased father. She is open and honest about the trauma she endured as his daughter and the lyrics here reflect the difficult mixed emotions she felt at his passing. As she exorcises demons from the past, she offers an honest explanation to his ghost. “I promise I’m not trying to steal your glory, or drag your name through the blackest of mud. I’m just down here trying to keep your coffin shut.”
Just because someone dies, it doesn’t mean the hurt and the pain they caused dies with them and it is OK to work through those pains, it is OK to share your story and it is important to do, so you can truly heal and live in peace.
