Lewis Knaggs has released the music video for his new song I’ll Survive, from his upcoming debut album. As a cinematographer himself, Lewis’ vision really comes through in this video. The song and video explore the whirlwind of emotions that come with the loss of a loved one. In an Instagram post, Lewis announced he was dedicating the song to his friend, saying; “I want to dedicate this song to my dear friend Nathaniel, who tragically passed away this month. This ones for you my bro I will miss you forever.”

I am very pleased to announce the release of my new single “I’ll Survive”. The link to listen is in my bio This song means a huge amount to me, I wrote it at a time when I lost someone close to me and dealing with the fallout seemed impossible. It’s a song about love, death and carrying on through adversity. Something we humans have to do in hard times.

Lewis shared in a press release the meaning behind the song, saying; “This is a song about surviving through the bad things that can happen in life. The death of a loved ones, the end of a relationship, either a friend or a lover, or even a pandemic… It is in the hands of whoever is listening, whatever it might be for them whilst interpreting the lyrics. I originally wrote this song around the time of my grandmother’s passing. That was almost exactly a year ago. Pretty much a year to the day that I lost a best friend, just a few weeks ago, in a very tragic and sudden way. This song has taken an even more prevalent position in my mind and heart as a result.”
