One of the best elements of country music is that it can make you experience a million different emotions.  It's true, one song can make you angry, guilty, heartbroken, or so happy you can't stop smiling.  One of the trademark traits of the genre, though, one that shines a little brighter than the rest, is its ability to inspire.  Every now and then, a tune comes along that makes us put a halt on our busy lives to stop and think about what's really important.  We are all constantly consumed by our everyday lives and sometimes we forget what really matters.  Sometimes it takes a heartwarming, honest down-to-earth song to help us gain a little perspective about the most important things in our lives:  life, love, and family.  Mark Wayne Glasmire's "Everything Is Gonna Be Alright" is one of the more mind-changing, life-appreciating songs to hit the country music genre in years.

"We've got to have faith and we've got to pray to God above that as long as we're together we don't need much else.  We'll have each other's love."  One of the more heartwarming from the song, this line portrays exactly why we love country music so much.  Mark Wayne Glasmire, a folk-inspired singer-songwriter from Bethlehem, PA, writes songs about real-life, his life.  "A well-traveled troubadour," Glasmire grew up in a working-class home, and through his upbringing and music career, he has never lost sight of the most important things in life.  Lucky for the music world, he is also magnificently talented.  He's seen the world and experienced the highest and lowest of life's experiences, and he's succeeded at being able to communicate his trials and triumphs through his music.

"Everything Is Gonna Be Alright" is the somber yet uplifting story of a family struggling to get by when the father of the household loses his job, ultimately causing the family to live on the streets.  Times are rough, food and shelter are scarce, but they do have love, which, as the song proves, is stronger than anything else.  It's an incredibly touching story, and Glasmire's smooth, down-to-earth delivery make the listener honestly believe in the song, and the man.  The arrangement is flawless, and the subtle yet powerful acoustic melody accompanied by the soothing, storytelling vocals make this song unforgettingly inspirable.  

This is the first single off of Glasmire's latest album, 'Life Goes On.'  The disc, as a whole, is an epic, honest, humble catalogue of the many ups and downs of life, and with tunes including "True Love Knows," "I Believe In You," and "Our Love Remains," it promises to be a heart-touching album.  Whether the topic be heartache, hope, or love, Mark treats the listener to an incredible collection of sentimental tunes that are sure to stay close to your heart for quite some time.  Like the music he plays, Mark Wayne Glasmire speaks straight from the heart.
