Won't Be Around is the official music video for the song written and performed by singer- songwriter Terry Blade. At its core, the song is about meaning the words we say, and acting on the words we use. It is not enough to just tell someone we won't be around for them if they treat us poorly. We have to be
completely and totally absent. The song and video draw from the rural early American roots music of first half 20th century–lifeblood America's musical cultural heritage.
