Be Good To Yourself

Be Good To Yourself - The Music

This song, written by bassist Andy Fraser of Free, is a giddy, full-on funky celebration of life. A loping bass-and-drum groove is supported by grinding guitars and banged piano that recall Joe Cocker’s “High Time We Went.” An oh-so-soulful Doug Davis vocal is accentuated throughout by BIG horns straight out of the Allen Toussaint playbook. Terrific sax and guitar solos cap this party. The inspirational lyric: “Be true to one another 'till your dying day, let the sun shine down your way.” Words to live by.

About

Be Good To Yourself - The Music is an initiative to raise much-needed awareness and funds to provide underinsured music industry professionals access to mental health care and substance abuse counseling services in times of crisis, when they need it most. Across North Carolina, music folks (musicians, sound engineers, stage staff, those in the business of supporting music) are struggling with anxiety, depression, substance abuse, and suicide.

North Carolina's music is a treasure. It enriches our lives and makes our state a better place to live. When we lose an artist, we not only lose their music, we lose a human being: someone’s son, daughter, father or mother, friend. Let’s not allow depression, mental illness, or substance abuse to stop the music. Let’s start helping our artists and those who support them in the profession to be good to themselves.
