SEBASTIAN BACH is releasing yet another video from his CHILD WITHIN tHE MAN album (Reigning Phoenix Music). The new video for “To Live Again” marks the seventh from the album and is another collaboration between BACH and Jim Louvau and Tony Aguilera. Watch the video HERE.
“‘To Live Again’ is the closest song to a ballad on the record. It was co-written with the super talented Myles Kennedy, who also co-wrote the song ‘What Do I Got to Lose?’ the first single off this record,” SEBASTIAN says. “I could not be more proud of this song and this video. This song is the sound of my voice being pushed as far and as hard as it will go, in every way–power, range and emotion. If you have enjoyed the ballads that I have been releasing since the year 1989, I really do think you will enjoy this song and video.”
“We have been working on this video for months and months and it was finally completed in January 2025. Without a doubt, this is the most time, effort and pathos that I have ever put into creating a rock video. This video is like a fantasy dream that has been going through my head for the last year. The directors Jim Louvau and Tony Aguilera have made recurring dreams that I have had at night come to life in this beautifully shot video.”
This year will see SEBASTIAN expand his horizons with his first-ever art show. In collaboration with Wentworth Gallery, BACH will be making a special in-person appearance on the Monsters of Rock Cruise (March 10-15) showcasing stunning works inspired by his late father, the renowned artist David Bierk. On the live front, look for a May headlining performance at M3 Rock Festival followed by a slot at Summerfest.
2024 was a remarkable year for the singer, songwriter, author, Broadway star, and actor. BACH’s CHILD WITHIN tHE MAN album–his first in more than 10 years—was well-received, with Associated Press saying “…it shows a fierce performer in prime fighting form…his vocals remain sharp and his songwriting talents as cunning as ever,” while Ultimate Classic Rock noted: “Bach’s voice has lost none of its rage or range, even in the highest registers…” In addition, the album’s “(Hold On) To the Dream” track was included in Consequence’s 30 Best Metal & Hard Rock Songs of 2024 which described the song as “…a late-career masterpiece from the former Skid Row singer. Baz hits some of the highest notes of his career on the sweeping ballad, an inspiring anthem about perseverance.”
“I would like to thank all of the rockers who put Child Within the Man at the top of so many fans Top Album lists of 2024,” BACH continues. “This will be the last full video that we will shoot for a while. There is one more video surprise coming later this year from the record, but this will be the last full concept video from the album…for now anyways. I cannot thank you all enough for the support on this project which has consumed my life for over a decade now. For those devastated by the California Wildfires and the courageous first responders, the song ‘To Live Again’ carries the sentiment that even if you lose everything you have, if you still have your family, that is the most important thing. Make art at all costs. That’s what we do. The show must go on. There is no other option.”
On the touring front, SEBASTIAN performed a record 91 shows in 2024. The dates included two successful North American tours–one around the release of the album, followed by another leg of fall shows–and a series of overseas appearances just before the album’s release.
Last month, SEBASTIAN was back on TV when he appeared on Food Network’s “Worst Cooks in America Celebrity Edition: Heroes vs. Villains.” In addition, last June SEBASTIAN was the subject of an A&E Biography: Rock Legends Special. This follows his 2023 appearance as “Tiki” on Fox’s “The Masked Singer.”
“To Live Again,” is the latest release from his CHILD WITHIN tHE MAN album which has yielded the following singles/videos, all of which have impacted the rock charts: “Freedom,” “What Do I Got To Lose?,” “Everybody Bleeds,” and “(Hold On) To The Dream” (along with the “(Hold On) To The Dream” alternate video) and “Future of Youth.”
CHILD WITHIN tHE MAN was recorded in Orlando, Florida; produced and mixed by Elvis Baskette; engineered by Jef Moll, assistant engineered by Josh Saldate; and mastered by Robert Ludwig/Gateway Mastering.
