Once in awhile, a song so potent comes along that you remember just how powerful and beautiful of a connection music is for us all.

“A Better Place” begins with the faint sound of a cardiac monitor, presumably inside a hospital, followed by Nick Deutsch’s low vocals, heavy on emotion. The melody and instrumental build, appropriately, almost like a heartbeat. You’ll feel every piano chord as it’s struck.

Deutsch sings to his mother about meeting her in a better place someday, and the entire work is just stunning. Check out its exclusive premiere below:

The 28-year-old attributes his love for music to his late mother, who would undoubtedly be honored by this piece of art he has written for her.

Born in Illinois, Deutsch is now a New York-based singer/songwriter, with several songwriting accolades to his name. He worked with producer Joey Auch to develop his second EP, Crazy Ride, a project that brought him through his grieving process while also strengthening him as an artist.

“So many people have a “Crazy Ride” everyday, and I just hope I can bring three minutes of relief, three minutes to connect people together and let them know that I’ve been there, and together, we’ll keep spinning round,” Deutsch explains on his website.

The four-track EP is currently available on iTunes.

The full-length version of Crazy Ride, with “A Better Place” and three brand new songs, will be available on February 3rd, and I encourage all of you to take a listen.
