Written by guitarist Drew Nix, ‘Drowning’ is a vulnerable call for help during a period of mental and emotional struggle.

Reflecting on the track, Nix shares, “In 2021 I was driving for Uber 10-12 hours a day, barely making ends meet. My wife Laurie Anne was taking on most of the chunk of the bills at the time because she had a steady job and we were still out of work mostly. I was really only making just enough to help pay rent. I remember the words and that melody coming to my mind ‘I’m drowning’ while I was headed to the gas station to pay for gas that at the time to continue Ubering. The debt was piling up and I was trying to save up for a ring at the time as well. Although I knew everything would be okay in time, it felt like I was treading water as long as I could stand. Things are much better now and I thank God every day that we don’t have to struggle like that anymore. If you feel like you’re drowning talk to somebody there’s help out there. And if God sends you a boat take it.”

‘Drowning’ is the third song unveiled from The Red Clay Strays’ new album, Made by These Moments, behind ‘Wanna Be Loved’ and ‘Devil In My Ear’.
