Regarding his current single, “Straight Line,” Keith told us, “It’s really just more of a human adventure, a feeling of what it is to be human. I mean, ‘Straight Line’ opens the album with kind of a call trying to get color back into an otherwise colorless life. It’s such a fine line between routine that creeps into monotony, and it happens for all of us; things that we have to do every day. We get up and go to work, go do this, go pay the bills, just routine, routine, and all of a sudden, that becomes such a monotonous life, and you start saying to yourself, ‘Man, I used to be more fun. What happened to me?’”
He added, “And sometimes a song can just spark you back, even if it’s just for three minutes, you can immerse yourself into when life was fun, when life used to be fun. That’s really the opening track, and then from there, we go into ‘Messed Up As Me,’ and off we go on this trip together.”
