Mike Posner Releases New Song “I'm Not Dead Yet”
American singer-songwriter Mike Posner released a new song “I'm Not Dead Yet” along with a music video on September 23, 2022.
Back in June 2021, Mike Posner summited Mount Everest with a team composed of guide Jon Kedrowski, Dawa Chirring Sherpa and Dawa Dorje Sherpa.
The new song is based on his experience of climbing Mount Everest.
The track was written by Mike Posner, Sir Nolan and Sean Douglas. Produced by Sir Nolan.
The accompanying video was directed by Mike Posner and George Gallardo Kattah.
“I was going to die… That was not a 'maybe.' That was a 'for sure.' My life was going to end. Right here. And right now,” Mike Posner explained. “Our tent was violently shaking before it ripped open. Snow billowed in, filling my sleeping bag and mouth. Avalanche. People don't survive these. This was it. I was going to die. Right here at Camp 2 on Mount Everest.”- He continued, “Then suddenly, the deafening wind stopped. I looked at my hands…still shaking. What happened? How are we still here? We figured out that the avalanche had actually stopped just short of our camp. So what we felt was its deadly last breathes. Still, we were lucky. I thought about quitting. But I didn't. Call it pride. Or call it integrity to my word. I kept climbing. But as I did, one thought persisted in my mind: 'I can't die here.' It was on loop in my head. I kept thinking, 'There's so much more music inside me. I can't die here.'”
He said, “With the grace of God, we made the summit: 4:35am, June 1st, 2021, and more importantly, we made it back down. And when we made it back down, I got my ass back in the studio. I feel like I'm exactly where I'm supposed to be. Like God put this song in my mind and I'm so grateful She did.”
He added, “I wanted to tell u about it. It's about the glimmer of sadness that's inside beauty, and the glimmer of beauty that's inside sadness.” - source : Apple Music
