Papa Roach has teamed up with Carrie Underwood for a stellar version of Papa Roach’s hit song “Leave a Light On (Take Away the Dark)” to benefit organizations that support suicide prevention, such as American Foundation for Suicide Prevention which will recieve royalties from the song, as well as 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline to raise awareness for the cause.
As I’m sure you’re aware, suicide remains a serious issue in our society, and so many families are affected. As a military wife, I am all too aware of the high suicide rate among veterans. According to the VA, 22 Veterans take their life a day.
A day.
A number I still and will never be able to wrap my mind around.
Kudos to Papa Roach and Carrie Underwood for bringing awareness to such an important cause.
Check out their verison of “Leave a Ligh On” below:
So powerful. And Jacoby Shaddix and Carrie Underwood’s vocals melt together beautifully. I seriously got chills over here.
Just a strong reminder to so many that you are not alone, and there will always be a light on somewhere for you.
If you or someone you know is considering suicide, please contact the 988 Suicide and Crisis Lifeline by dialing 988, text “STRENGTH” to the Crisis Text Line at 741741 or go to 988lifeline.org.
