Chester Goad latest release “Hurt with Me” is a country gospel-worship song for anyone out there going through sorrow and loneliness. Collaborated with Sam Hart, this song is about grief and hope. “Hurt with Me” was released on October 08, 2024, which is the two years anniversary of the passing of his son, making it personal for him hence his music.
The song opens with acoustic guitar sounds that give it a warm, reflective tempo causing those who will listen to it to create a comfort zone. Chester’s vocal enters the song in a soft tone, but as the song progresses, his vocals gain power as he sings bitter-sweet lyrics about grief while finding solace and hope in faith. “Hurt with Me” appears to be an appeal; Chester seems to embrace one with carrying their pains.
In “Hurt with Me” Chester shares his painful experience in life and how the Christian faith led him through the light. According to the lyrics of the song, even when a person is in sin God is still there even if they act as if He isn’t. Chester’s words emphasize a powerful message: that faith can give comfort and the feeling of the community of affliction.
This is a comforting message simply to know that someone out there understands what you are going through. The soft pitch with the lyrics of this song provides consolation and motivation to those who need it by providing a touch of hope. Chester is only starting his journey as a musician but I have faith in him and I believe that with his songs, he has the power to touch people’s hearts through the stories he tells.
