Luke Spiller (The Struts) Releases New Single "When I Die Will I Miss Living"

The Struts vocalist Luke Spiller has released a brand new solo single titled “When I Die Will I Miss Living”. The track was recently featured in an episode of the NBC medical drama Chicago Med.

In a press release announcing the single, Spiller stated the following about the track:

“I wrote the song in the winter of last year while visiting my parents in Devon. It was born from a short poem I wrote. I had been reading “Whale Day” by Billy Collins and it really inspired me. The way he can take a thought or moment so mundane or trivial and create feelings and images in the mind really moved me. He’s poetic but equally conversational, something I’ve always admired especially when it’s applied to music. I wrote a few stanzas then quickly began to start singing a melody in the room as I continued to write. I then started to play it live on my solo tour then was contacted by someone from the TV show “Chicago Med” who attended one of the shows and wanted to use the song. I explained I hadn’t recorded it yet and they kindly requested I did and so I recorded it with Jon Levine and Nick Perri who played all over my debut solo album. It’s a different direction for me but that’s a great thing. I always want to keep moving forward. As Gordon Lightfoot once said “motion is the potion”.
