Music Is Worth Living For - Andrew W.K. Review

“Music Is Worth Living For” is an exaltation of my love for music itself. It’s also me pleading with myself to recognize music’s eternal power and glory, in the face of hardship and pain. The song is an effort to remind myself that life is worth living, if for no other reason than because of the beauty music conveys. Music is a mysterious phenomenon — it seems both to magically overwhelm and sublimate our suffering, but also to starkly dignify the struggles of our daily life. The physical power of music must be coming from some sort of unshakable truth, sent from the primal core of all being. It’s so effortless and elegant in its intensity. I truly believe that listening to music can transform you into a better person. In that way, all my songs have been me just trying to get better, trying to cheer myself up, trying to convince myself that there is hope and joy in the world no matter how dark it may seem. And the lyrics of this song, especially in the verses, are me calling out my own interior negative forces — the lowest and darkest impulses inside me, that wish to hold me down in despair — and I’m telling those malevolent urges once and for all that they won’t break me. I will persevere. And when I triumph, somehow, someday, it will be because of music. This song is a celebration of that essential and divine life-force that music is both emanating from and emitting to us. This song is about how good music makes it feel to not be dead. As the last line of the chorus proclaims, “Music makes me want to stay alive.” That’s probably the truest lyric I’ve ever written. - Andrew W.K.

Music Is Worth Living For - Andrew W.K. Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Yeah I bet you never thought you'd live to see the day
Where we could play with joy and laughter
And I bet you never thought we'd make it all the way
And we could stay forever after

[Pre-Chorus]
But I guess we proved you wrong
And I guess we showed them all
Paid our dues
Getting up off the floor
And I guess we proved you wrong
And I guess we showed them all
So much to lose
Walking right out the door

[Chorus]
Music is worth living for!
Music makes life worth living, music is worth living for
Music is worth living for!
Music makes life worth living, music is worth living for

[Post-Chorus]
A higher power that I can't deny
Music makes me feel so high
Like the glorious sound of God
Coming down like a lightning rod
Give me the will to love
So below and as above
The only way that I'll survive
Music makes me want to stay alive

[Verse 2]
And I bet you never thought we had the strength inside
Yeah we almost died
And we kept on going
And I bet you never thought the pain was justified
Well we found our pride
And we kept it growing

[Pre-Chorus]
And I guess we proved you wrong
And I guess we showed them all
We did our best
We played until our heads were sore
And I guess we proved you wrong
And I guess we showed them all
Never gonna rest
We're always gonna go for more

[Chorus]
Music is worth living for!
Music makes life worth living, music is worth living for
Music is worth living for!
Music makes life worth living, music is worth living for

[Post-Chorus]
A higher power that I can't deny
Music makes me feel so high
Like the glorious sound of God
Coming down like a lightning rod
Give me the will to love
So below and as above
The only way that I'll survive
Music makes me want to stay alive
