Till it Hurts
Robillard wrote this song as a means to convey the need to sometimes just let it all go, shake it off, go out and have a little fun. Sometimes life can get a tad heavy, a little burdensome, this song is just a small reminder, that it’s ok to go and let loose a little bit! Have a some laughs with friends, otherwise, what’s it all worth if we can’t enjoy ourselves a bit? As the chorus says “Shake off your cares, wave them good bye, grab all your friends and dance right through the night”. The song
is a fun, energetic, up beat, care free track we can all get behind and sing along to.
