Demo of the Week: “Dead Roots”
Writers: Tia Scola, Derek Scott
Vibe: Dark with positive edge, crunchy
Key Lyrics: “The fire burning inside is finally brighter than the fire that we call love / I’m breaking through the ground no more hiding / I’ve decided I’ve had enough / If I never make it home again / I’m gonna make it clear that / this time I ain’t taking no regrets / you kept me underneath the ground I can’t breathe / Wouldn’t let me out now / I’m free only gonna look ahead / Cause all these roots are dead”
Could be a good fit for: Carrie Underwood, The Band Perry, Sam Hunt, Florida Georgia Line, Thompson Square, Sara Evans, Brooke Eden
X Factor: Cool energy, interesting lyrics, definite power song
