Alive Again

‘Alive Again’, released on July 28, shows listeners a more mainstream take on TC’s musical talents. Although not written by TC, the singer-songwriter relates deeply to the song’s themes.

”We were talking about what to record next when Angus mentioned this song that he wrote with Alan Mackey, Tim James & Rivers Rutherford”, she said. “The song was born in 1976 when Alan was working with Countdown. Alan started writing the song but then shared the concept with Angus (decades later) and then co-wrote it with Tim James who has written for Chris Stapleton and Rivers Rutherford who wrote ”When I Get Where I’m Going” for Brad Paisley and Dolly Parton”, TC said.

In the three decades that TC was out of the music industry, she was raising two children and battling an eating disorder, bulimia. ”My eldest daughter, Shelby, my 15-year-old saved my life because the day I found out I was pregnant, I knew I had to do something about the bulimia”, TC said. ”The song is all about battling demons, and I battled a demon and came out on the other side. This was also during a toxic relationship and domestic violence, and that’s where it struck a chord with me”. ”If speaking out about this helps one person, it’s so worth it because I battled it for so long. It affects your personality, mood swings, and everything. I don’t wish anyone to go down that spiral”. The anthem of survival is also sure to strike a chord with listeners with a positive feel that reaches into the country’s disco realms. It’s still got those country instruments with a country dance vibe—it doesn’t matter what style I sing. It’s still going to sound country ” TC said.
