Relying on a sense of inner resilience during a period of monumental change is a powerful, leading influence in many musicians’ creative process. Singer-songwriter Greg Strawn thrived in embracing his personal strength in his new country/Americana single, ‘Weaker Every Day.’

The Eldorado, Oklahoma-born artist was inspired to pen the track during a stressful time in his life. He was struggling to take care of his aging parents’ declining health while also overseeing his family’s farming operation and raising his daughter. The musician has expressed that his situation seemed to become increasingly hopeless as people continuously commented on how he should handle his parents’ health.

As a result, Strawn crafted a poignant blend of raw emotion and sincere storytelling in ‘Weaker Every Day,’ which is deeply rooted in timeless songwriting traditions. The singer chronicles the emotional burden of caring for his family during stressful situations with courage and grace.

The tune’s heartfelt lyrics, which are anchored in Strawn’s personal history, are supported by a soulful acoustic guitar, piano and mandolin, as well as a haunting steel guitar. The single’s electric guitar, bass and drumming also ground the genuine message without overpowering it.

The artist’s authentic tenor vocals also emphasize personal struggle and ensuing perseverance. Driven by a mid-tempo rhythm, his vocals are infused with a meaningful directness and feeling of raw vulnerability.

Also set against a backdrop of warm heartland arrangements and mournful steel guitar, Strawn chronicles the emotional toll of caregiving for his entire family. ‘Weaker Every Day’ is driven by his sense of radical honesty, self-awareness and humility in the way he has approached caring for his parents and daughter.

The immensely relatable song is authentic and earnest in the blend of its lyrical storytelling and craftsmanship in its guitars and drums. While the overall track is melancholic in its reflection of the struggles in Strawn’s personal life, the blending of the vocals and instrumentals proves how strong he has become.
