The L.I.F.E. Project have issued their cover of the classic Suicidial Tendencies track “You Can’t Bring Me Down“. The L.I.F.E. Project unites Josh Rand of Stone Sour fame and Casandra Carson of Paralandra and more. Speaking of why they chose to tackle this early 90s crossover track, Rand offered:
“I can’t think of a better way to kick things back off after some downtime than with this track. Suicidal Tendencies’ ‘Lights…Camera…Revolution!‘ is one of my top five all-time favorite records. The lyrics to this track are just as relevant today as they were the day it was released, making it timeless. I hope you enjoy it as much as we did recording it. Turn it up!!”
Carson stated:
“This felt like the perfect song for Josh and me to cover for a lot of reasons. First off, it’s an absolute headbanger, and that’s reason enough, but beyond that, I resonate deeply with the lyrics and the message. It’s all about refusing to conform or compromise your beliefs and standards just to fit in with the crowd, and songs like that have always lit a fire in me.
I’ve been in the music industry for over a decade now, and I’ve been criticized, doubted, and told ‘no’ more times than I can count, but I’ve never let that stop me from doing what I love or doing it my way, ‘regardless what the cost might be’. That mindset is exactly why this song still resonates so strongly today, and why it felt like the right one for us to put our own spin on.”
