Colton Dixon is bringing his songwriting skills to the big screen as part of Angel Studios, SIGHT.
The former American Idol contestant released the title track of the film, 'Rest Of My Life' on Thursday.
“Sometimes when you write a song, it takes on a life of its own,” shares Dixon in a press release. “After I experienced the film and got to meet Dr. Wang in person, the lyrics and cadence of the song took on a whole new meaning. I can’t wait for this song and the film to impact the world in a powerful way.”
Angel Studios Head of Music, Ryan Svendsen says, "When I first heard “Rest of My Life”, I instantly knew it was a fit for the film's epilogue. It is extremely rare for the spirit and lyrics of a song to be an uncanny match for a scene but the stars aligned beautifully with Colton’s track for SIGHT. We are honored to have Colton’s uplifting music bring out this important moment. This song will be a reminder of not only the film but of the miracle that we are not confined by the things that we can physically see.”
SIGHT hits theatres on May 24, 2024. The film follows the true story of Dr. Ming Wang, a Chinese American who defies all odds to become a world-renowned eye surgeon in the United States. Drawing upon the grit and determination he gained from a turbulent uprising in his youth in China, Dr. Wang sets out to restore the sight of a blind orphan.
The film stars Greg Kinnear and Terry Chen.
