If "Going Down The River" was the song that gave Doug Seegers a number 1 hit and catapulted him to stardom in Sweden, "Give It Away" is the song that explains who Doug Seegers is and the mission he is out on since he sobered up and had the unexpected and fairytale-like success with his music. The phrase is taken from an AA meeting Doug visited just before he got discovered. The words "If you really wanna keep it,,, you gotta give it away" said in the meeting to explain how to maintain the sobriety, struck Doug hard. He decided to use them later when he was going through difficult times trying to process and understand his sudden success and idol status. Doug wrote "Give It Away" during the crazy first summer tour in Sweden with 70 sold out shows and the hysteric hype that came with the success. It has been a show stopper ever since. Under Joe Henrys command in a very soulful recording session, Doug and the musicians managed to capture the magic and the strong message of the song. The video is directed by Linnea Nelson and filmed by Simon Bendroth. Thanks to the Pythagoras Museum in Norrtälje, SE for letting us use the their awesome location for the filming session.
