Rising Up
Anthemic Beatles-Inspired Brit Pop Song | Rising Up by Ward C Locke | Stream Free (128 BPM, E maj)
The communal spirit of the 1960s love-in pushed into a high-velocity rock space. Same ideology, different fuel.
The muse doesn't pick a lane. Neither does Ward C Locke.
No genre, no destination, no preconceived notion of what the music should sound like. Just whatever the muse is pointing at today, followed honestly and made with whatever tools work. The results don't always fit a category. That's the point. Come along if you're curious where it goes next.

Lyrics
Yesterday taught us how to see,
Follow the road to where we're meant to be.
Walked a lonesome highway, lost and cold,
Searching for the truth that I was told.
The answers hiding somewhere in the breeze,
Found myself down on my knees.
We're rising up like fire in the night,
Standing together, burning bright.
Through the heartache, that's how we find our way,
Building something better every day.
Now we're moving together, side by side,
Free at last, got nothing left to hide.
No more running, we've found our place,
Finally home in this time and space.
We're rising up like fire in the night,
Standing together, burning bright.
Through the heartache, that's how we find our way,
Building something better every day.
Tomorrow's waiting with open arms,
Let your spirit work its charms.
Listen close to what's inside,
Let your heart become your guide.
In the morning light, we start again,
Every step we take, we're stronger then.
We're rising up like fire in the night,
Standing together, burning bright.
Through the heartache, that's how we find our way,
Building something better every day.
So let's keep walking, hand in hand,
Together we can make our stand.
