Only five minutes after his fantastic London shows Boston born singer-songwriter Bryan McPherson returned to the quiet of Montana and has recorded possibly his most provocative and incendiary music of his career.

Back in 2021 Bryan McPherson walked away from everything. The Boston turned California, singer-songwriter had enough. Lock downs, mandates, failed relationships, and record deals were left in the rear view of the remnants of Los Angeles. Bryan fled to Montana landing in the small town of Emigrant, on the outskirts of Yellowstone. Against the backdrop of snow capped mountains and herds of wild elk, Bryan has spent the winter penning his appropriately titled new album, Emigrant and The Winter of Death due for release this Winter.

I’ve got 4 broken hearts
And a mouth full of gold
I took what I took
And you bought what was sold
All of the punks now love the government
They stick needles in their veins and they love it
Well not much has changed
They still want to die young
Believe all the lies
Having “no fun”
While I’ll live on the run
I’ll go off the grid
I got no interest in your Pfizer or Sid
Or Moderna or
Your tyranny
Blind eyes can’t see I’m not you
I am me
And I’ll live free
And I’ll die pure
And I won’t eat your poison
And pretend it’s a cure
And all of the nonsense that covers our world
Subverted inverted boys and girls
Useful idiots on the TV news
Rich white children are singing the blues
So don’t tell me how to live
Taylor Your truth is a lie
Fuck Fauci Fuck Biden Epstein’s still alive
It’s not my fault that you can’t wake up
It’s easier under blankets
Than standing up
So you’re free to stay asleep and I’m free to open my eyes
You do you,
I’ll live free or die
Out here in the mountains
In the snow and the ice
Where the truth is the truth
And my mind is mine

CHORUS 

I’ll live free or
Die Die

So go and protest when they tell you to
Burn it all down when they tell you to
And rage with the machine
With your foot on my neck
And then ask me “whats the matter?”
In your next breath
With your canned empathy
And a trendy cause
Cancelling everyone even Santa Clause
So Merry Christmas
Go fuck yourself
Thats from me and Santa Rudolph and the elves
So now everyone gets a 6ft hole
Ashes and embers for an eternal home
Because everyone’s done something they want no one to know
Thats how this began
This is how it’ll go
Fuck you Mini McCarthy’s
You Soviet Goons
You’ll never take my mind
It is free like high noon
Under a blood sky
With a blazing sun
My words are the bullets and this song is the gun
And I’m stepping through An invisible door
Fuck the new world order
Pedo death cults and more because Mr Olympia has collapsed on the floor
Hey baby I guess that’s what living is for
And I can’t take it anymore

(X3) This is war

Phew… what a track. Bryan has a history of writing songs that get under your skin. His songwriting exposes so much within us and society but unlike others he gives us the solution to lead both better lives and made the world a better and kinder place. If only people would listen.
