Of course, the state of the world has changed significantly since then. The lyrics of \u201cHard Times\u201d convey those raw emotions of hitting rock bottom or carrying a burden \u2014 which are timely, of course, yet also timeless. However, the song concludes with a message of perseverance.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis song means a lot to me,\u201d Gilbert continues. \u201cIt\u2019s been a long time since I\u2019ve heard a song that can stand on its own lyrically. Brock Berryhill, Logan Wall, Jimi Bell and Jay Brunswick gave me the opportunity to work with them, and it\u2019s something I\u2019m extremely proud to be a part of. I feel like all of us are in need of a little bit of healing and in need of a little bit of hope. And this song offers that.\u201d<\/p>\n<p> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.cmt.com\/news\/1821784\/brantley-gilbert-offers-hope-in-hard-days\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">via:: CMT News<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>by CMT.com Staff 20m ago Brantley Gilbert is seeing the silver lining in \u201cHard Days,\u201d an encouraging new single about facing the challenges of life and emerging as a stronger person.
