Jacoby Shaddix

And I was able to grow musically, creatively, personally, spiritually, and in so many ways.

And now it's like, here we are, it's 2026.

I'm

my mind is blown.

I'm still in the game.

You know, we just, uh, leave a light on one of our last singles, you know, it's like, who would have thunk in a gajillion years that we would have an acoustic song that rock, you know, went to the top of the rock charts and, and, you know, moved into the alternative space again.

And then to like, have a lady like Carrie Underwood bless the track, you know, I'm just like, I gotta keep pinching myself.

The gift just keeps on giving like it just keeps revealing itself to me in so many cool and fun and interesting ways that I'm just like each day I wake up when it comes to this creativity.

I'm like, all right, what do you got for me now?

God, like, where are we going?

You know, it's like it's such a it's a cool experience and is and as hopeful as I am.

I, it's as, it can be as dreadful as, as possible.

Some days I wait, it was funny.

Like two days ago I woke up and I just was like on the phone with my wife, Kelly.

And I'm just like, she's like, what's wrong?

And I'm like, I just want to curl up in a ball and like not be Jacoby today.

I just, I just, I'm like, I'm, I'm just, I'm exhausted.

And it's so wild how like I can wake up like that.

Like have so many gifts on blessings, on blessings, on blessings and still wake up just not wanting to like get out of bed.

And I just, I was like, it's so funny.
