Originally expressing his talent via visual art, Levi took an early interest in painting, which he studied at college in St. Petersburg, FL. It was in St. Pete that Levi’s musical talents first revealed themselves. At the close of a significant relationship, he was drawn to writing songs – songs of his life and relationships. It wasn’t long before Levi realized his need to move back home to cultivate his songwriting craft; so back to Nashville he went.

Levi began to make his imprint on the Nashville community through regular co-writes with his father, Marcus Hummon (Grammy Award winning songwriter), and a regular rotation of writers who would join them. Levi loved relating to a listener through the stories he could craft. It wasn’t long before word spread of Levi’s talents, and he found himself writing with the greats such as 2014 ACM Songwriter of the Year Shane MacAnally, Andrew Dorff, Josh Osborne, Jonathan Singleton, Nathan Barlowe Brandy Clark, Trevor Rosen among others, and of course, Marcus Hummon. Learning to always bring in his own ideas and point of view to a writing session, Levi quickly streamlined his unique style. “You’re letting someone into your world which is really vulnerable,” says Levi. “I write from a reflective & personal place and ultimately I couldn’t see anyone else singing these songs.”

As a member of a multi-generational music family, Levi Hummon certainly appreciates his roots. While Levi is very much his own person & artist, he strongly values giving credit where it is due – and he finds himself fortunate to have his family be part of his journey. In addition to his father’s musical foundation, Levi draws inspiration from his mother, Becca Stevens, who founded the socially conscious & philanthropic organization, Thistle Farms (a residential program and social enterprise made up of women who have survived prostitution, trafficking, and addiction). This became a natural place for Levi to become involved where he further witnessed how music can provide a healing effect to those whom have suffered tremendously. “Thistle farms has always been a family to me,” says Levi. “There is so much knowledge to gain from spending time with the women. It makes me want to always forgive, never take anything for granted, and love everyone.”

Continuing to develop his personal sound, Levi found himself in great company while in Nashville. Marcus and Becca casually had their friend and Hall of Fame Songwriter, Desmond Child over for dinner, where Levi played a few songs. Desmond’s reaction was profound and immediate – he insisted on working with Levi. Soon after, Levi’s tune “Make it Love,” was featured in Child’s film, Two: The Story of Roman & Nero, which appeared on the short list of nominations for the Oscar’s “Best Original Song”. That was just the beginning for Levi. With overwhelming support from Nashville’s music community, Levi signed with Fletcher Foster’s new management and entertainment company, Iconic Entertainment Group.

Levi has recently signed with The Valory Music Co (Big Machine Record Label) artist roster, which includes Reba, Justin Moore, Brantley Gilbert, Thomas Rhett, The Mavericks & RaeLynn. “As our Country format ebbs and flows, it’s always so important from an A&R perspective to look past what’s happening now and make some moves on the future direction,” said BMLG President & CEO Scott Borchetta. “Levi’s unique vision and incredible artistry is exactly the kind of musical move we want to make now. This is a very significant artist signing.” Levi Hummon is currently writing and recording for his first full-length album.

Drop of Us
Levi Hummon Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Cool breeze
Your hair
It's late don't care
The way we fit, just works
No headlights
Lit up
Just heaven and us
Yeah, your hand under my shirt

I would if I could
Stop this world from turning
Tonight's sunrise is
Coming way too fast

Wanna hang on every look you give me get drunk on, every little kiss you kiss me
I don't wanna miss a chance to memorize All your body all your mind
Every half second heartbeat feeling
Every truck bed starlit ceiling
Drink it in and soak it up
I don't wanna waste a drop of us
Pour a little bit little bit, pour a little bit little bit more
Pour a little bit, little bit
I don't wanna waste a drop of us

Honeymoon phase
Wave after wave
Of number 5 on your skin, yeah
We'd look real good
One day looking back
But right here, right now
I can't wait for that

Wanna hang on every look you give me get drunk on, every little kiss you kiss me
I don't wanna miss a chance to memorize All your body and your mind
Every half second heartbeat feeling
Every truck bed starlit ceiling
Drink it in and soak it up
I don't wanna waste a drop of us
Pour a little bit little bit, pour a little bit little bit more
Pour a little bit, little bit

I would if I could
stop this world from turning
I would if I could
Baby

Wanna hang on every look you give me get drunk on, every little kiss you kiss me
I don't wanna miss a chance to memorize All your body and your mind
Every half second heartbeat feeling
Every truck bed starlit ceiling
Drink it in and soak it up
I don't wanna waste a drop of us
Pour a little bit little bit, pour a little bit little bit more
Pour a little bit, little bit
I don't wanna waste a drop of us
Pour a little bit little bit, pour a little bit little bit more
Pour a little bit, little bit
I don't wanna waste a drop of us

I don't wanna waste a drop of us

Overall Meaning

In these lyrics, Levi Hummon captures the exhilaration and intensity of being in a passionate and consuming romantic relationship. The song begins by setting the scene with a sense of freedom and carelessness, represented by the cool breeze, late night, and the feeling of not caring about anything else. The connection between the two lovers is emphasized as they fit perfectly together, symbolized by their entwined hands under his shirt. The absence of any distractions, such as headlights, further enhances the feeling of being in their own little world.

The chorus reflects the singer's desire to fully immerse himself in the relationship and not let any moment slip away. He wants to savor every look, every kiss, and memorize every nuance of his partner's body and mind. The references to a half-second heartbeat feeling and a truck bed starlit ceiling suggest moments of intimacy and adventure, emphasizing the depth of their connection. The plea to "drink it in and soak it up" expresses his desperation to fully embrace and cherish their time together.

The reference to the "Honeymoon phase" acknowledges that the intensity and passion may eventually fade, as represented by the concept of number 5 on the skin. However, the singer is fully engaged in the present moment and expresses his anticipation and excitement for what the future holds. He believes that they will look back on this time fondly, but for now, he is completely focused on the present and doesn't want to miss a single moment.

The repetition of the chorus reinforces the singer's desire to make the most of their relationship. He emphasizes his commitment to not wasting any part of their connection and wanting to pour more love and energy into their partnership. Ultimately, the repeated phrase "I don't wanna waste a drop of us" encapsulates the song's central theme: a yearning to fully embrace and cherish every aspect of their relationship, from the physical to the emotional, and not take any moment for granted.
