Steff Reed - Try Again (Original Song) | Amplified

Steff Reed performs his original song “Try Again" in an exclusive live recording session in Brooklyn, NY.
This song is about resilience, tenacity, and overcoming adversity. On a personal note, as someone with mental health (anxiety & depression) and an empathic Artist, the lows feel lower and more intense. It's in those low moments where you question life and feel like giving up the most. I wrote this song to speak to myself, and those that can relate to those feelings in those moments. To remind them that it does get better. In spite of heartbreak, rejection, loss, failure, you can always try again. It's not about how many times you fall, it's about how many times you get back up!
