‘Still Fighting’ is based on a simple yet strong concept: keeping on going even when things become hard. Erick Oscar communicates a clear message of perseverance and encouragement, the main idea being set out in the title itself. It is especially appropriate that his aim has been to produce music which touches people’s hearts and gives them inspiration, since the song was made with the specific intention of providing emotional support during a difficult time.
Erick composed ‘Still Fighting’ for a close friend who is suffering from cancer and going through the troubles of chemotherapy. The aim was to give her encouragement as she carries on with her treatment, linking the song’s theme of perseverance directly with her situation. In this way, the song’s purpose stems from a real wish to offer support to someone going through a very difficult experience.
The idea has struck a chord with the person behind the song’s release. Erick states that his friend hears “Still Fighting” each day as she fights against cancer. As a result, the song has become incorporated into her daily routine and thus the message it conveys acquires a significance which goes beyond the initial act of writing and recording it. The fact that she keeps coming back to the song while undergoing treatment means that its main theme of persistence is especially meaningful.
Deep impression left by “Still Fighting” is due to the sincerity with which it was created. Although its message is simple and can be understood at once, the personal circumstances connected with it make those words carry more significance. The song turns concern for a person going through a very tough situation into a lasting expression of encouragement. This blend of personal significance and resilience is what gives the song its special emotional character.
