Sprout (Russell Leon) is a long-time teacher of music, a multi-instrumentalist, and accomplished performer in Toronto and has been for more than two decades. His appeal to keeping the lyrics in line with his audience of youngsters is an endearing representation of the artist. “Like a bird that flies above the sea, open your wings, be all you can be!” Sprout rolls out the anthem in fantastical fashion, giving promise to another day, month, year of positivity and smiling in the face in whatever obstacles may be presented in front of us. Rounding out the instrumentation on the track, calming strings, violin and a crescendo-esque percussion builds as the message grows stronger. Produced by GRAMMY Award-nominated and JUNO Award recipient Ken Whiteley (Raffi, Fred Penner), the song is freshly picked from Sprout’s new sophomore album the youth-friendly release stitched with lessons of tolerance and kindness is called Together.īeginning as a plucking melody with simply beautiful lyrics, and speaking to rising above through the verses, the lovely new kindie ballad sees Sprout churning out a gentle chorus along with a children’s choir of “we rise above!” while asking elsewhere: “Are you kind? Are you fair? Do you help, do you care?” I am making a version without the intro since some people do not have the patience to listen to music without words for very long.Īside from the intro, the music was entirely re-recorded by DD in late 2017.Delivering messages of kindness, caring, community, and more, Canadian singer/songwriter Russell Sprout has unveiled his new single “We Rise Above”, along with a video to accompany the release. The song is quite short about 3 minutes, with a 1 minute intro and 2 minutes of verse. It is odd, that like several songs in All Systems Go, it does not follow the typical 'verse chorus verse chorus' pattern that is almost 'required' in pop music nowadays. It is truly an 'introductory' type of song that tries to set the stage for the other selections. The second part of the song encapsulates our rebellious side, and I think we all fantasize about some sort of remedy or escape at some point in our lives. I think many people feel a huge sense of frustration at the sheer monotony we sometimes feel in the modern world. It would echo some of my feelings as I trudged off to work or school. One of my first songs.Īt several stages of my life after writing this, the first part of the song would still 'ring true' at times.

Hard to believe I wrote this in my early teen years.
IS WE RISE SONG COPYRIGHTED FULL
It is rumored that these desperate souls gather in a valley secluded by a ring of hilltops - on the night of each full moon. So when he leaves his small assigned sleeping domain, he timidly meanders through a moonlit forested region. A coldness - perhaps driven by mutual paranoia - among every day people. Dax becomes so despondent about the oppressive system within which he abides, that he is willing to break one of the sacred laws - he goes outside at night.Īside from the blatant repression imposed by the all controlling 'SOL' organization, he feels that he lives in a world where there is a lack of meaning, or lack of purpose. The protagonist of 'All Systems Go' is Dax, who finds himself living at the whims of an uncaring yet controlling society. That's when I sneak out into the still of night
