Lawrence Rothman, the songwriter behind the forthcoming album Here Lies Love / Sawdust to Stardust, has made a clear statement about the importance of live music in the digital age.

In a recent interview, Rothman explained that the new record is a celebration of human interaction, a theme that runs throughout the songs and the album’s title.

“Now is the biggest time in human history for artists to perform live,” he said.

Rothman’s words reflect a broader sentiment among musicians who see live performance as a vital counterpoint to the increasingly digital and automated nature of modern music production.

With the release of Here Lies Love / Sawdust to Stardust, the songwriter aims to remind listeners that, despite the prevalence of streaming and algorithmic playlists, the shared experience of a live show remains a powerful and essential part of the musical landscape.
