In Their Words: “‘Live Forever’ is my all-time favorite song from the Texas legend Billy Joe Shaver. I first heard this song when I was 18 years old touring around the state playing bass with my good friend Rodney Hayden. When he sang this song, it did something to me and the audience — it made us think and smile. It’s rare that a country song is so uplifting, so fantastical and carries a message of a very tangible eternity (if ya do it right). We had already recorded this song the sad day we learned of Shaver’s passing. It brought a whole new meaning and depth to the song. We’re singing it for him now.” — David Beck
