Drown (Lyric Video) - lyrics by Jonah Foree

"Drown" with lyrics by Jonah Foree

This song was written as a dedication to our good friend Jonah Foree who recently passed away. Jonah actually wrote 100% of the lyrics to this song! He sent us some lyrics a while ago that he thought would be good for us to use. We couldn't think of a better way to honor him. We wish he was still around to give us some input but we are very happy with how it came out.

A message from Tash about how this song came about:

When I found out about Jonah’s passing, I went through every message we had exchanged, remembering this amazing person I was so lucky to call a friend and someone I admired and respected deeply. One of the things we bonded over was our shared love of words as lyricists. Jonah was a true poet through and through with a beautiful heart to match. In the year that AL1CE formed, he sent me lyrics that he heard my voice on. I think one of the mysteries of art is that sometimes an artist can tap into a message that transcends time. Somehow his words feel like he was speaking directly to us now. In the weeks that have followed since Jonah passed, I am reminded of the gift that music is and how healing it can be. Jonah left us a gift to help us process his passing, and while it was really emotionally hard to sing it for the recording, I’m also so grateful to have had this song to create. AL1CE made the music around Jonah’s beautiful words in honor of our dear friend that we’ll be performing at his memorial show this Saturday. The proceeds of the song will go to his family with all our love. ❤️🖤

Special thank you to Jonah Foree and his family, Mike Lee and Goth Brooks, Ikonoklast, Hardwire, Element A440, and the beautiful AZ music community.

Wow, Jonah would love this so much. I did not have tissues ready, I was not prepared for such a beautiful tribute. I love it!

What a powerful tribute to Jonah.

I didn't know him, but I know that I would have liked to. I hope he can hear his words brought to life where he is now. Rest in peace. 🙏

So weird to be scrolling YouTube and see my face jump out at me. That was a great night, and one of the last times I saw Jonah. This song is beautiful, and you perform it beautifully.
