I've decided there is no better way to improve our state but through love. Acts of kindness to those less fortunate than us is a very good way to show that love. When the status quo is to shun and push down, let's lift each other up instead.

I hope you enjoy my brand-new original hard rock song, "Lifted Up"

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:

The situation is grave, my friend
This comes as no surprise.
The journey’s end comes near, my friend
As tears run down those impassioned eyes.

The stranglehold tightens in fear and terror
It laughs as truth grows weak.
The fist of destruction, power in darkness
Threaten through rage and deceit.

The dragon has only the power we give
The dark cannot abide.
The light within will cast out The fear
Disperse the shadows and once we rise…

Lifted Up!
Those fighting the battles inside themselves
The pain behind their eyes.
Lifted Up!
Cry out and shout, no, you’re not alone!
You’re not alone, yeah together we rise!
Lifted Up!
Come, join in the fight as we testify
Come, join as we burn, yeah we burn night
Lifted Up!
Together there’s no doubt, we can overcome
Light it up, let’s show the world.

Homeless (let’s lift them up)
Hurting (let’s lift them up)
Lonely (let’s lift them up)
Beaten (let’s lift them up)

Hungry (let’s lift them up)
Widowed (let’s lift them up)
Dying (let’s lift them up)
Stricken (let’s lift them up)

(Get outside myself)
If we don't...
Then who will?!

Lifted Up!
Those fighting the battles inside themselves
The pain behind their eyes.
Lifted Up!
Cry out and shout, no, you’re not alone!
You’re not alone, yeah together we rise!
Lifted Up!
Come, join in the fight as we testify
Come, join as we burn, yeah we burn night
Lifted Up!
Together there’s no doubt, we can overcome
Light it up, let’s show the world.
