Before we decided to release a soundtrack for Sadie’s Favorite, I posted a Facebook video of me recording the vocals to “Don’t Go, I’m Trying (Bonus Track)” — it’s just a stripped down version of the song, voice and guitar.

Watch it here.  

If you missed the liner notes in the back of the book, the song’s background is:

”This track was never supposed to be a song. The acoustic guitar was recorded during a jam session in 2016 with Them vs. Her’s original rhythm guitarist, and was quickly forgotten. Lyrics were written in 2022 and vocals were recorded in 2024. The rest of the instruments were recorded in 2025. The lyrics describe what it’s like to be a person with BPD in love with someone who doesn’t value or appreciate you. It reflects Sadie’s growth and journey and her realization that she deserves more. The line, ‘I trusted you, now I’ll trust Him,’ speaks of her relationship with Jesus.”
