For the past four years, Peep’s music has meant everything to me his music shaped me. The shock of the pain subsides unevenly.” It’s just a wound that I don’t – I think it heals, but only in the sense that the pain of it never really ends. “I don’t think I’d felt anything that bad…or so strangely bad…ever before. She came in and kinda just touched me, and with the light I woke up and she said – kinda taken a breath – ‘Gus is dead.’ And uh, that…woke me up,” John said. Something Åhr’s grandfather, John Womack, said expresses these feelings perfectly when explaining his reaction to the news of Gus’ passing. After two years since his passing I still can’t believe or process it. “Everybody’s Everything” was quite heart wrenching for me, as Gus is my hero, and I want to create the same impact he did. From what people said, you could tell he meant so much to anybody who knew him or who knew his music. Throughout the one hour and 56 minute documentary, many different collaborators, lifelong friends and family were interviewed. “Everybody’s Everything” guided viewers through Åhr’s life from start to finish. He was a good man who cared a lot about everybody’s well being and happiness. I try everything I can to make anybody’s day better. Every day I try to be the best person I can be. My love for his music and his personality hasn’t faded one bit since the day I found him. Peep was my hero - he still is even though he’s gone. You want to know what you missed, what I think, or if you agree. But that’s not what you clicked on this article to read about. I could rant and argue about how we villainize addicts and turn away from them, rather than lending a helping hand like we should. Obviously, I could go on about who Lil Peep was and the impact he created for a very, very long time, but I already did that in a three page article about his life, career and death. Instead, discussion should focus on what we can do to help the epidemic. It was not the time or place to attack him. Liza was also credited as an executive producer of the movie.Īfter Peep’s death, some people decided to shame drug abusers who don’t know any other ways to cope. Liza Womack played a huge part in the creation of the “Everybody’s Everything.” She was seen throughout the movie in sections where she spoke about her son’s life and his work. You know I just gotta be – and these are my bros, my brothers, and I just wanna make music and help each other. Look at how they make these decisions about me and the way I look, and it’s just all wrong. “He came home in August saying, ‘Oh, you know, and capitalism, and it’s just awful. He was so excited by that,” his mother, Liza Womack, said. He said he wanted to take capitalism out of the music industry, notjust revolutionize music as it sounds, but make a revolution, change the power structure of who was controlling it. It was clear that passion ran deep in his veins, and he wanted to change the music industry for the better. The music he gifted to the world was made of emotions in the purest form you can get from a human being. It’s simply proven through the documentary. It’s easy to label Lil Peep as “some drug addict.” However, he was so much more. After his untimely death because of a false Xanax pill laced with a lethal dose of fentanyl, huge conversation sparked on the topic of drug abuse. In his short 21 years with us, Lil Peep made a global impact that will take an extensive amount of time to fade. “I look at him like he’s so strong to me, and he looks at me like I’m so strong to him,” friend and collaborator iLoveMakonnen said. Gus Åhr, or Lil Peep, was an absolute light in the dark and dangerous world we exist in today. So here I am, completely honest, vulnerable and raw with you. I didn’t like where my article was headed, and I just couldn’t put something out there for viewers that wasn’t made from the heart. My voice simply disappeared after so much extensive editing in hopes of making this work absolute perfection. and opened my document, I couldn’t help but scrap the entire thing and start fresh. After I returned home from the Harkins Theater in Arvada, Colo. I had planned my review weeks in advance to the release date of the Lil Peep documentary, “Everybody’s Everything” directed by Sebastian Jones and Ramez Silyan. It was neat, organized, and had a very complex structure. Originally, I had an outline for this article.
