Musician Todd Snider shares his latest song “Like a Force of Nature”, from the upcoming record Cash Cabin Sessions, Vol. 3 available on March 15 through Aimless Records/Thirty Tigers. “Like a Force of Nature”, which features Jason Isbell as background vocals, is a touching lament inspired by the transient nature of musical friendships, and like the previous single, “Just Like Overnight”, features some haunting harmonica lines. The instant-grat track is available now along with pre-order of Cash Cabin Sessions, Vol. 3: https://toddsnider.net/cashcabin

“Like a Force of Nature” contains two of the best lines Todd Snider's ever written: "May you always play your music loud enough to wake up all of your neighbors / Or may you play at least loud enough to always wake yourself up.” He recorded nine takes, but take seven was ultimately judged best. After settling on the master take, Snider added some tambourine and other percussion to the track. He was joined that evening at Cash Cabin by Jason Isbell and Amanda Shires… and Jason added a backing vocal part to finish the song.

On the album, Cash Cabin Sessions, Vol. 3, Snider’s folk influence marks a departure from the past six years of making rock records. At a point in time when the world has never been more complicated and confusing, with people getting louder and louder, he did a 180 and went back to his roots as a folk singer, to a simpler, quieter form of expression; and it might be what the world is waiting to hear: just a man, his guitar, and the truth.

In the most literal sense, the album is the fulfillment of a dream; not the aspirational kind, but an actual dream, a recurring dream Snider had about Johnny Cash after he first visited Cash Cabin Studio. The dreams inspired him to book sessions there with his supergroup Hard Working Americans in 2016, 2017, and then again for the new solo project in October of 2018. During that week of recording in October, the captivating collection of new works emerged as Cash Cabin Sessions, Vol. 3.

Like a Force of Nature (Lyrics):

If we never get together again
Forgive me for the fool I’ve been
See if you can remember me when
I was listening to my better angels
Just see if you can remember me
When I was listening

It’s like a force of nature
Coming over me
Well I can’t keep myself from moving
It’s like a force of nature
It’s like a force of nature

May your hope always outweigh your doubt
Until this old world finally punches you out
May you always play your music
Loud enough to wake up all of your neighbors
May you play at least loud enough
To always wake yourself up

It’s like a force of nature
Coming over me
I can’t keep myself from moving, moving
It’s like a force of nature
It’s like a force of nature
It’s like a force of nature
It’s like a force of nature
It’s like a force of nature
It’s like a force of nature
