With the release of Outlast The Day, David intends to prove that the power of the listener outweighs everything else. Just as he has done before, he will travel from city to city, playing shows and building a grassroots following, never stopping to look back. In a recent documentary, he told the interviewer, “the theme of my life is movement.” He touches on that same idea in the album’s title track, asking “When I turn twenty-three/Tell me where will I be?/What will I become?/What will I be runnin’ from?” David’s voice is unmistakable: deep, powerful, and honest. His lyrics are introspective, heavy and profound, yet they manage to remain simple. He conveys complicated feelings in just a few effortless words. With a guitar and pen always nearby, David moves from place to place, always focused on how to improve his last song or how to begin his next song. Music permeates his life. Most of David’s influence for writing comes from an internal struggle. That struggle, the paradox between a love for the city and an unbreakable bond with the country, never ceases in his music, or in his life. In “I’ll Call,” a touching message to his mother back home in Indiana, he says “Been ridin’ this bus for two-thousand miles now/But the end is in sight/the Hudson swims beneath my feet now/and I can see those city lights.” It’s been a long road so far, but this is only the beginning for David McMillin. Outlast The Day hits stores on November 14. The album will also be available online on Awarestore and iTunes.
