Keith Urban’s new song is helping him to break out of generational mindsets that his father trapped and almost had Urban trapped.
"I was raised in a house with a dad that was always like, 'Shhh. Don't rock the boat. Don't talk about anything; say [it] in your music,'"Urban says as he talks about his new album, “The Speed of Now Pt. 1” "And there's a lot of truth in that...but there are times when we should be speaking up and saying something ..."
Urban’s lyrics show how much his father had an influence over him and now he refuses to live in silence,"My dad didn't really live his truth to the fullest extent that I know he wished he could have — a product of his own raising. And I didn't want to be like that,"says Keith.
