Jack White recently released the album “Fear of the Dawn”, where they explore a heavier and more electric mood, full of sound experiments.
Now he is getting ready to show another facet of his work, more acoustic and focused on bluesy melodies, in “Entering Heaven Alive”, which will be released on July 22nd.
The sound of the new album, which has already appeared on “Taking Me Back (Gently)” and “Love is Selfish”, is highlighted in the single “If I Die Tomorrow”, which arrives with a video that features a bizarre funeral.
The video is directed by Brantley Gutierrez This is a Third Man Records release.
Winner of 12 Grammys and one of the biggest names in world music for the last 25 years, Jack White has become synonymous with a new rockstar model for the 21st century with his solo project, with The White Stripes, The Dead Weather and The Raconteurs. An iconic-sounding guitarist, White blends the tones of garage rock with the spirit of early blues. His melodies are sung in chorus both at major music festivals and in sports stadiums as cheerleading chants.
Hitting the road for the first time in four years for a nearly 60-date long tour of North America and Europe called the Supply Chain Issues Tour, he has performed the repertoire of “Fear of the Dawn” and his entire career.
Founded by White in 2001 and based in Detroit, Third Man Records has established itself as a synonym for innovation and good taste by seeking alternatives to exclusive and analog experiences in a digital medium. Jack White’s new releases can be guaranteed in multiple physical and digital formats by the label.

Lyrics:
IF I DIE TOMORROW
COULD YOU FIND IT IN YOUR HEART TO SING?
IF MY MOTHER CRIES IN SORROW
WILL YOU HELP HER WITH THE MANY THINGS
THAT SHE NEEDS FROM TIME TO TIME AND DAY TO DAY?
SO IF I DIE TOMORROW
WILL YOU KNOW EXACTLY WHAT TO SAY TODAY?
SHE WON’T MIND THE TROUBLE
SHE’S BEEN THROUGH IT ALL BEFORE
I KNOW SHE’LL SAY “MAKE IT A DOUBLE” OF HER LEMON DRINK
AND BEFORE YOU KNOW SHE’LL BE LAUGHING ‘BOUT THE TIMES AND THOSE OLD DAYS
SO IF I DIE TOMORROW
PROMISE YOU CAN WALK AWAY OKAY, OKAY?
I HATE TO THINK ABOUT IT
SO IT HELPS TO SHOUT IT
AND IF YOU COULD HELP ME OUT
IT WOULD MEAN SO MUCH FOR MY PIECE OF MIND
AND HER HEART IS CAREWORN
AND EVER SINCE I WAS A NEWBORN
I PUSHED ASIDE THIS WORRY FOR THE SAKE OF MY LIFE
IF I DIE TOMORROW WILL YOU LET ME KNOW I LEFT IN PEACE?
I BEGGED AND BORROWED EVERYBODY’S LOVE AND THEY GAVE FOR FREE
AND I WISH THAT I COULD GIVE IT BACK TO THEM
SO IF I DIE TOMORROW
WILL YOU GIVE THEM ALL THE LOVE THEY LENT TO ME?
