“Nathaniel Rateliff and The Night Sweats "Heartless" by Kimberly Stuckwisch
Growing up poor as dirt, in a part of the world long forgotten, I often found myself running away from my tumultuous upbringing diving head first into books, studies, writing, and theater, all in search of a different life. Through the arts, I found and continue to find my freedom. In a lot of ways, I modeled our lead character (Kevin Kelley) after myself. I was at first angry, blaming the world for what happened when we were kids, but eventually learned that by showing kindness, I was able to free myself of the pain. I am so thankful Nathaniel trusted me with such a personal note and important song for the world.
