Boily’s rock musical, Bullet in a Gun, ‘LOSING MY WILL TO LIVE’ confronts despair at its most unfiltered, capturing the uncooked agony of dropping every thing—love, work, satisfaction. In a worldwide local weather weighed down by financial uncertainty, looming tariffs, and widespread job insecurity, the soul-stirring lyrics really feel heartbreakingly actual and strike tougher than ever. Ian Hardwick’s visitor vocals amplify the emotional depth, channelling betrayal, failure, and isolation into a strong anthem of desperation.
