These guys seemingly have no future, but hold on tight to the idea of hope\u2014a better life, a better world. It felt familiar. The movie feels timeless and soulful, so I thought Stephen\u2019s guitar would be the perfect complement to leave fans with a song that feels timeless.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-line-height-copy  lrv-a-font-body-l   \">\n\tWilson Jr. added, \u201cAs a fellow Stephen spelled with a \u2018ph\u2019, it\u2019s no secret I\u2019m a fan of Stephen King. When I was approached to write a counterpart to this song with Shaboozey, knowing it was based on Mr. King\u2019s work, I was honored and humbled to be invited into the portrayal of such a storyline. I\u2019m such a fan of Shaboozey and his authenticity, and jumped at the opportunity to sonically dance with this visceral but hopeful film and try to highlight the beauty in the most adverse moments.\u201d<\/p>\n<section class=\"brands-most-popular \/\/ recirculation-modules trending-in-article lrv-u-margin-tb-2 lrv-u-border-a-2 u-box-shadow-5-5 lrv-u-padding-lr-1 a-span1 u-padding-b-1@tablet u-overflow-hidden\">\n<h2 id=\"section-heading\" class=\"c-heading larva  lrv-u-text-align-center u-border-color-black a-font-theme-primary-xxs lrv-u-color-black lrv-u-text-transform-uppercase u-letter-spacing-0063 lrv-u-padding-t-050 u-padding-b-0375@tablet lrv-u-padding-b-050@mobile-max lrv-u-border-b-2\">\n<p>\t\tTrending Stories<\/p>\n<\/h2>\n<\/section>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Shaboozey, Stephen Wilson Jr. - Took A Walk (from &quot;The Long Walk&quot;) (Official Visualizer)\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/xdI_3GdLt8g?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-line-height-copy  lrv-a-font-body-l   \">\n\t<em>The Long Walk<\/em> is an adaptation of King\u2019s 1979 novel, about a group of 100 young men who enter an annual walking contest in dystopian America.
