This was always a favorite of mine while living in the 90's. I didn't quite know how this would turn out, but I think it turned out okay.

Please enjoy my hard rock cover of "One Headlight" by the Wallflowers.

I have a Patreon account which allows people like you to help creative folk like me reach our goals. Right now my goal is to get to $700.00 per video. I know it's personal, but that is my break-even point. I do a new video each week. I believe we can make it and when we do, that means I'll be able to put a lot more effort into these songs and videos. I appreciate your help so much. Thank you. For more information, click the Patreon link below:

Oh, did I forget to mention that ALL my patrons get access to an instant download of ALL my songs? Yeah, it's just my way of letting you know how awesome I think you are.

Enjoy great meaningful hard rock!

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 everything. It's a very meaningful part of my life, and to a large degree, defines who I am. I think there is a power in music to uplift, to heal, and to help us be better humans. Music can help give life meaning.

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

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.

Also, this week I uploaded a drum-only video of this song as well as a full version. It's the same song but just drums the whole way through. You can find that video at the link below.

For this song, I produced and performed everything myself including all arrangement, performance, production, editing, mixing, mastering, and all video editing and production.

Lyrics:

Don't let life get you,
Don't let life get you down!
Don't let life get you,
Don't let life get you down!
Don't let life get you,
Don't let life get you down!

So long ago, I don't remember when
That's when they say I lost my only friend
Well they said she died easy of a broken heart disease
As I listened through the cemetery trees

I seen the sun comin' up at the funeral at dawn
The long broken arm of human law
Now it always seemed such a waste, she always had a pretty face
So I wondered how she hung around this place

Hey, come on try a little
Nothing is forever
There's got to be something better than
In the middle
But me and Cinderella
We put it all together
We can drive it home
With one headlight

She said it's cold
It feels like Independence Day
And I can't break away from this parade
But there's got to be an opening
Somewhere here in front of me
Through this maze of ugliness and greed
And I seen the sun up ahead at the county line bridge
Sayin' all there's good and nothingness is dead
We'll run until she's out of breath
She ran until there's nothin' left
She hit the end, it's just her window ledge

Hey, come on try a little
Nothing is forever
There's got to be something better than
In the middle
But me and Cinderella
We put it all together
We can drive it home
With one headlight

Well this place is old
It feels just like a beat up truck
I turn the engine, but the engine doesn't turn
Well it smells of cheap wine, cigarettes
This place is always such a mess
Sometimes I think I'd like to watch it burn
Watch it BURN!
Watch it BURN!
Watch it BURN!
I'm so alone and I feel just like somebody else
Man, I ain't changed, but I know I ain't the same
But somewhere here in between the city walls of dyin' dreams
I think of death, it must be killin' me

Hey, hey hey come on try a little
Nothing is forever
There's got to be something better than
In the middle
But me and Cinderella
We put it all together
We can drive it home
With one headlight
