Lawrence Rothman releases new single “Dreams Die Hard"

Lawrence Rothman has dropped another track from their forthcoming studio album The Plow That Broke the Plains.

Released today, “Dreams Die Hard" was co-written by Rothman and Lee Thomas Miller (Chris Stapleton, Taylor Swift). An accompaying music video, which can be seen below, was directed by Floria Sigismondi (Sam Smith, Rihanna, Taylor Swift).

Rothman said this about the new song:

“In a world that’s pulling everyone apart at the seams I lyrically wanted to explore the universal idea of dreams. Differences aside, we all dream waking and sleeping. Dreams infest everyone’s thoughts. Language, ethnicity, religion, values, the dirt you stand on, in your particular part of the planet, we are all connected with this one common thread. We dream. Sounds obvious and silly—maybe even naive to think about that deeply. But I believe the key to any chance of a utopian co-existence here on this blue dot lays somewhere between the realm of waking and dreaming. A meditative realm where a calmness and peace overshadow daily, materialistic driven chaos… Ruled by $$$$$$ is our mantra. It’s the root which triggers all the horrors of humanity… If we stayed on that in-between plain of existence (dreams) or even if we were able to access that plain of existence through technology assisting us maybe just maybe a more civilized planet could exist.”

The Plow That Broke the Plains is slated for an April 26 on KRO Records. Pre-orders for the album can be made here. The 13-track album follows Rothman’s 2021 studio album Good Morning, America.

Later this month, Rothman will embark on a West Coast headlining tour in support of the album. Tour dates can be seen below. Tickets are on sale to the general public right now here.
