Butch Walker – “Arden’s Song (After I’m Gone)”

Butch Walker

A rare track from Butch Walker called “Arden’s Song (After I’m Gone)” has made its way online. The rumored story behind the song is pretty heartbreaking:

I don’t think he publicly released it, but it’s been shared around some of the Butch Walker fan communities on Facebook and stuff. Apparently he wrote it from the perspective of a little girl who died of a brain tumor. The girl’s uncle put it up on YouTube, so I’m guessing it’s a family Butch knows personally.

Butch Walker has released his new song, “Descending,” at the Wall Street Journal. You can stream that below. The song also features Ashley Monroe.

Walker and Monroe first met when she did a guest vocal for an album he was producing. The two hit it off, remained in touch, and vowed to write a song together. On a recent flight to Los Angeles, Monroe and Walker were texting “about the struggle of survival,” when the plane started making its landing.

Butch Walker – “Stay Gold”

Butch Walker’s new song “Stay Gold” can be heard below via Rolling Stone. His new, really-damn-good, album of the same name will be out on August 26th.

“The line in the song is, ‘In a world so black and white, boy, stay gold,'” continues Walker, “and that, to me, sums up where we are right now. Not to get political or anything, but it’s just everything is black and white — there’s no gray area. So, if there’s any advice I can give anybody it’s just to have their own fucking opinion.”
