Jxdn entrusted Travis Barker to help him process the loss and prepare two songs in time for his late best friend’s birthday.
“It felt like everything just stopped for me, and even to this day it still feels that way,” says jxdn, admitting he still feels “foggy” and “delayed” while speaking of and processing his loss. “But especially the days after, I felt like I couldn’t do anything, couldn’t go anywhere, and I didn’t really have any words to say. I was getting really frustrated. I didn’t know what to do.”He says he felt “empty,” and told Barker he desperately needed to make music.
He leaned into that more sorrowful side of his emotions on the heartaching acoustic second single “Even in the Dark,” on which he sings, “I’ll celebrate your birthday, even if it isn’t with you.” Yet the line that strikes jxdn most comes in the pre-chorus, when he requests: “Walk me home and let’s fall asleep.”
Jxdn believes offering two sides of the same coin with these songs — striving to positively remember a person you’ve lost while simultaneously feeling paralyzed by the pain — will resonate more widely than if he had only tapped into one aspect of the many ways in which grief can hit.
