“Sing It With Me” by Michael Lyon is built on something to celebrate, keep going through the hard times, and music that brings people together. The indie-folk singer-songwriter sees the single as a positive statement on perseverance, self-belief, and shared experience.
The basic idea is that you don’t wait for things to get better before you make progress. It’s a song about taking chances, about overcoming adversity, about not letting your frustration dictate your point of view, but instead continuing to do your best. It’s a message of motivation, not only for individual accomplishment, but the power that can be obtained from the collective expression is also given the same importance.
Music is a universal language that can bridge peoples’ differences, help strengthen relationships and create a more positive outlook,” says Lyon. This emphasis on participation gives the song a communal function, taking the message out of the realm of personal encouragement. “Sing It With Me” is also a conscious choice to be grateful for what people do have, not what they don’t. That perspective puts it on a hopeful track and gives the release a clear sense of purpose. At the heart of Michael Lyon’s message is a song of optimism, resilience, and connection, of shared voices.
