Artist picture
Solo artist.. diverse influences...eclectic mix...rock...alternative grooves...and guitar rock.
Edgy alternative rock music, packaged for the masses. The music covers a wide range of emotions and genres, created by me for me. Many of my independent works have become therapuetic in many ways. My music is the highway to my soul!

Story behind the song
With everything seemingly going wrong for Americans over the past 4 years, I wanted to write something to capture the essence of American spirit!
Lyrics
Stand Up (America) Once upon a time, the story goes From Canada down to Mexico We trip along the fault of truth we've lost our innocence, to spite our youth Aim high I heard a blind man say who needs to sleep when there's bills to pay. He said... Look around, tell me what you see Is there love for you and me... I feel it, from head to toe From the golden gate to the jersey shore and with my head held high I shout, Stand up...America! Sweet Memphis gypsy Whispered in my ear telling me my fortune, telling me my fears She said, When you’re down, just go reach out your hand Steal a little love from someone who understands All time this time, I’ve been so unsure Now I know what I'm living for.... I feel it, from head to toe From the golden gate to the jersey shore and with my head held high I shout, Stand up...America! The walls are closing in around you... Trade in your Chevy for that cynical smile yeah, There's nothing left inside you.. This is your moment, this is your time It'll be all right. I feel it, from head to toe From the golden gate to the jersey shore and with my head held high I shout, Stand up...America!

I love the song. Nice production! Yes, not only Americans need music like this but Canadians do too!
