NEW VIDEO ALERT! Hardline “Surrender”
“Although the title is “Surrender”, the message is NEVER SURRENDER. The message in this song is clear…we must all find our value on this earth. And most importantly, recognize that we HAVE value no matter what career, level of income, or what “things” we own. We ALL share the same stresses this life puts on us. And stress/pain is all relative to how we feel inside each one of us. Our focus must be our “purpose”. The simplest things in life can give us purpose. I hope this song sheds light on lifting you up when you feel down, empowers you when you feel the need for more life gas in the tank. And I hope you recognize that you are never alone. Let the music take you to a new level of happy. Kick ass everyone! And I love you all. I do.” — Johnny Gioeli

REB FOUNTAIN RELEASES BRAND NEW SINGLE & VIDEO ‘HEART’
Reb on Heart —”I wanted to share a tune for all the unrequited love and longing; the great exodus of connection and the echoes of yearning left behind, reverberating through space, time and our hearts, as we fell together and apart. They say as long as Orpheus sings he breathes life into death; that, in the most challenging of times, we too have the opportunity for rebirth. Orpheus would play his u-shaped lyre; it’s two arms reaching away from one another to hold the tension of strings vibrating across the bridge between. Heart is a love song; not a happily ever after kind of love, more the type of love that makes beautiful music precisely because it is forever connected and apart. Held by heart strings it is the kind of love that begged Orpheus to turn and share it with Eurydice only to lose her forever – the sort of love that’s human; where great suffering and great joy exist as one.”
