“We Ain’t Royal” is Greg Rider’s most honest song to date. Throughout Greg’s life, he always felt the need to fit into a certain group.
When he first got into country music, he didn’t want to be the kind of an artist who just sang about stereotypical country topics. He wanted to write real music about his life that could help others relate.
Greg’s new track was written three years ago, while he was living in Nashville. He had gotten caught up in trying to fit the mold of what a country artist should look and sound like to the point that his soul felt empty.
This vulnerable, soaring contemporary country track is about opening up and it being okay to ask for help and not bottle your darker emotions up. If you aren’t happy with your life, take action to change your situation.
