MAD MICK – STILL GETTING BACK UP | Macca’s Story

“Still Getting Back Up” is an upbeat dance-rock and techno anthem created from the real-life story of Macca. Growing up around Nowra and the Shoalhaven brought good memories, hard lessons and plenty of hectic moments. From waiting in the car outside the Empire Hotel as a kid, to taking the road out toward the beach, working everything from trolley collecting and sawmills to truck driving, security and gardening - Macca has never been afraid of hard work. He rebuilt his life, pushed through the rough patches and proved to himself that he could keep moving forward. Completing the Kokoda Track tested him physically and mentally, but it also strengthened the rule he continues to live by: No matter what life throws at you, keep getting back up. The track also honours Macca’s late father, a hardworking man whose values of loyalty, honesty, respect and giving your best continue to live through his son. And remember: after a few drinks, it is probably best not to try any surprise wrestling moves on Macca. Your collarbone may regret it. Massive shout-out to Macca for trusting Mad Mick with his story. This track was made for you, mate. Keep chasing your goals, stay true to yourself and keep getting back up. 🎤 Performed by Mad Mick 📖 Inspired by the life and story of Macca 🎵 Upbeat dance-rock × techno beats 🇦🇺 Australian independent music Have a story you would like transformed into a song-personal or public, emotional, motivational or completely ridiculous? 📧 [email protected] Subscribe for more original Mad Mick music, real stories and experimental genre mutations.
