Sage Francis - “Worry Not” (3:19)
This is off of the Li(f)e album, which debuts in a week. Sage will be in town on the 28th and I’ll be photographing that amazing show.
This is a self-affirmation of sorts. It’s a reminder to myself, and hopefully to others, that we need to shed ourselves of the needless stress bestowed upon us via our home, work, school and religion. Certain types of stress are good for us. It can assist in our development, productivity and evolution. However, when we measure our worth by the arbitrary demands made by the institutions we are born into, there needs to be an awakening at some point where we think for ourselves and do for ourselves. That’s the best way to serve others (if you do, in fact, have a desire to serve others.) Since I tend to get wrapped up in my own work and responsibilities, this is as much a reminder to myself as it is to the listener. — Sage Francis in the liner notes
If you want another great track from this album, check out “London Bridge”- these tracks are completely new stylistic ground for Sage and subject matter that should not be nearly so catchy.

Great news for me! A version of me four years ago would have wanted nothing more in life than a Sage concert. The version of me two months from now is still very excited to get this experience (and naturally, get photos as always).](http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_kyq92hBCpU1qzjpa2o1_500.jpg)
