Demo of the Week: “Bad Way To Go”

Writers: James Slater, Caitlyn Smith, Erik Dylan

Vibe: Emotional, reflective but not necessarily melancholy

Key lyrics: “Stained glass windows / Hand me down hymnals / Not a seat or dry eye in the house / He was a good man / A father and a true friend / The kinda guy you wanna be around / A husband with heart as good as gold / Hey Joe, / Ain’t a bad way to go”

Could be a good fit for: Tim McGraw, Maddie & Tae, Jerrod Niemann

X factor: Lyrically, it’s a novel way to make peace with death, and the song yields both sadness and solace
