This week was ... horrible ... and humbling. I thought there was no way I could possibly get a song written and released this week after my studio computer's motherboard refused to power on on Monday, and then realizing that all of my studio hard drives were fried as well. Needless to say, I was ... frustrated. What was worse, was I felt inspired to write a tribute song praising my amazing companion and wife, Sarah as it was her birthday last Tuesday. It seemed everything was against this song being written and produced. By Friday, I had rebuilt the computer with new components and was ready to begin writing, realizing that getting a song and video written and fully produced seemed unlikely.
I don't quite understand how it happened, but I'm absolutely thrilled to present to you, my song to my wife, "It's Gonna Be Great."
Somehow it got done in 1.5 days.

Enjoy.

That said, I'm also happy to announce that this song features Dominik on the lead guitar throughout the song. Below is his contact info. I'd suggest following him. He seems like a great guy.

Hi there! I'm Jason. I'm a drummer who pretends to play guitar and sing. I also own and operate a recording studio called ArtCitySound. I do all my own engineering. I figured having videos to watch along with the music would be a good idea, so I started making my own videos, too.

To me, music means something. Fun music is awesome, but I think there is a power in music to uplift, to heal, and to help us be better humans. Music can help to make life more meaningful.

I'm taking it upon myself to provide as much music as I can to anyone who needs it.

I invite you to visit my website MeaningfulHardRock.com (link below) and subscribe to my mailing list. As a way of saying "Thank you", I'll give you two free songs available for immediate download.
It will also keep you up to date.

Lyrics:

She was Right.
in everyThing my life’s become
yeah, she was Right.
as the sun Rises up the canyon
Skies painted gold and grand and
When she’s with me….

You’re outta your mind, I told myself
As I tried to banish the thought.
After 15 years, to give it all up
These foolish dreams should stop.

When all was laid before her
Wrenching tears our hands held tight
As I looked at her, she smiled and said “Let’s do it.”
But only if you think it’s right.

Through the grace of God, it’s been 5 years
I wish I could explain.
How through her strength, I found my faith
How on our knees, the barricades
Come crashing down, the demon slayed
This ride, yeah it’s been rough
After all is said and done right here right now…
Yeah, we’re still in love.

“It’s Gonna be Great”
She says with a smile
And I can’t help but believe the truth
Behind her eyes!

And when I’m done,
yeah it’s time to give it up,
That is when I see her…
That is when she smiles at me…
How can she smile at me?
How can she?

Remember that great 11th?
That dance at station park?
The music, the love beyond what we could see
Just us, our tears,
And eternity.
“It’s Gonna be Great”
She says with a smile
And I can’t help but believe the truth
Behind her eyes!

And when I’m done,
yeah it’s time to give it up,
That is when I see her…
That is when she smiles at me…
How can she smile at me?
How can she?
