“This Life” by Primer 55

"This Life" was the only single Primer 55 took from (the) New Release, their second studio album, a nu metal record that landed on August 14, 2001, and it climbed to number 37 on the Mainstream Rock Tracks chart. The record was also their last for Island.

It came out of a lineup in flux. A year and a half into the band's life on the road, guitarist Bobby Burns began writing the follow-up and took the guitar parts on himself in the studio. He composed "This Life", shared the lyrics with J-Sin and co-produced it with Eddie Wohl, with Steve Regina recording and co-producing. The drums are credited to two men: John Stanier, the ex-Helmet drummer Burns brought in, and Preston Nash of Dope, who had toured with Primer 55 and also plays percussion here.
