It&#8217;s the latest track from the prolific Goss, who has already released seven studio albums, and has a faithful following, who have seen him perform at thousands of shows across the USA, Canada, and Europe.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"text-align: justify;\">Tom Goss started out as a wrestler in college, later studying to become a Catholic priest. While in the seminary he became disillusioned with the church, and after coming out as gay, channelled his passion into music.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"text-align: justify;\">Tom&#8217;s music has been featured on HBO and ABC, and he&#8217;s amassed more than 12 million views on his music videos, which are inventive and engrossing. The clip for &#8216;Wake Alive&#8217; features Tom and a variety of others projected onto boxes, symbolising the images that we allow others to have of us. Later they all break free of the boxes, revealing their true selves.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"text-align: justify;\">&#8216;Wake Alive&#8217; is available now to stream and download <a href=\"https:\/\/song.link\/i\/1452912343\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">here<\/a>.
