Singer/songwriter David Tucker is building on the success of his latest single, “Water It Down,” with the release of an orchestral version of the track and an accompanying music video. Listen to “Water It Down (Orchestral Version)” here and watch the video here.
“Water It Down” chronicles the car accident that nearly ended Tucker’s life last year and how he overcame what became the biggest challenge he has yet to face. Backed by stunning string accompaniment, Tucker peels back the layers of the poignant tune in the new orchestral version, further enhancing a story of determination that can inspire anyone looking for a glimpse of hope in trying times.
“Tucker ultimately found the help he needed to heal, channeling this sense of overcoming directly into some of the most powerful lyrics.” – American Songwriter
You gotta fight like hell when there’s fire in ya bones
Burning like the Devil’s got a hold of ya soul
Cause he won’t let go
Ain’t no hidin’ when you’re in the den with the lions, fighting
Oh take it from somebody who knows
Yeah I got way too close
To 6 feet under the ground
No you can’t water it down
About David Tucker
From mental health battles and sickness to family tragedies and a life-threatening car accident, country singer-songwriter David Tucker has fought his way through adversity to create groundbreaking music that not only inspires others, but transforms them as well. Born in Georgia and raised in Kentucky, Tucker grew up in a musical family and spent his formative years learning various instruments and joining his parents and siblings on their travels around the country to perform and sing songs that held a message of faith. After putting together his own band and building a loyal following in his home state, Tucker moved to Nashville in 2017, where he spent his days welding Music City skyscrapers and his nights playing Broadway’s honky-tonks, all while honing his multi-instrumental skills and lending his artist’s ear to others as a co-writer and producer. Tucker released a handful of singles throughout 2021 that showcase his vulnerable and honest songwriting and were featured by Vevo, CMT, American Songwriter and numerous other notable outlets before being forced to put his career on hold following both the diagnosis of an auto-immune disease and a car accident that nearly cost him his life. Now back to working full-time on his career, he has several new singles slated for release in 2023 that reflect his unique personal experiences and the valuable lessons learned from them.
