I want to take a moment and thank everyone for all the love and for sharing your life stories with me. I wrote "Keeping Me Alive" at a moment in my life where I was lost and confused. This song helped me through my struggles and I'm glad to see its doing the same for many. 🙏🏻 CRAZY to think we nailed 10 Millions views, I am blown away!
Would love to know where everyone is from, if you leave a comment put the flag of you country at the end of your message. I hope to come out to your country and city when this pandemic is over. Wishing everyone good health and love!
Peace, J

You try to hold me down
So I became a soldier
Built up all these walls
And now I'm climbing over
Those nasty beasts
Are tempting me
Oh Lord but I ain't going back
You take me for a fool,that doesn't
Make me foolish
Told me I was wrong
Passion made you ruthless
Manipulate
Its just too late
Oh Lord,but I ain't going back no more
Your fueling of the flames
Gonna show you what I'm made of
Breakin' every chain
That you put on me
You thought I wouldn't change but I grew on you
'Cause I will never be what you wanted this fire,this fire is keepin' me alive
Makin' me believe I couldn't do without you
Make it hard to leave,You think it's all about you
You know I'll never be what you wanted
This fire,this fire
I tried to get this weight
Off of my shoulders
Built up all my strength
I'm finally takin' over
Complicate
I don't appreciate
Oh Lord,but I ain't going back no more
Your fueling of the flames
gonna show you what I'm made of
Breakin' every chain
That you put on me
You thought I wouldn't change but I grew on you
'Cause I will never be what you wanted this fire,this fire is keepin' me alive
Makin' me believe I couldn't do without you
Make it hard to leave,You think it's all about you
You know I'll never be what you wanted
This fire,this fire
Is keeping me alive (×3)
This fire,this fire
They breakin' me
Shakin' me
Shapin' me
Into what I never wanted
And breakin' me shakin' me makin' my beatin' heart a little stronger
Breakin' every chain that you put on me..

I almost never comment on youtube. But this is a moment for exceptions.
This is a masterpiece on all levels!
I am a survivor of many abusive relationships and this song acurately and poetically expresses the hell I have been through. But somehow, heaven as well. With the amazing choir, the powerful back up vocals, the dancing man rising in the end.
The lyrics, melody, voice and video are in perfect harmony and they convey the power in all of us, to overcome and transcend our battles and maybe turn them into masterpieces like this one.
Amazing, Jonathan! Amazing! From the passion that put into the singing, I can feel you’ve been there and came out. Well done for everything! Thank you! ❤

The comment section says it all. I love scrolling through the comment section of songs that ignite my spirit; so I can see proof that there are others that are actually alive within and have the presence of movement when they hear music that resonates. I’m in great company, because this song sparks a fire in my soul and it’s evident I’m not alone. 🔥 😭❤️

It was Covid isolation in Saint-Petersburg. Me and my future wife in a small flat. We don’t have enough money. So close to hate each other. So close to depression. And I found this Treasure.
4 years later. January. My sweet wife gives me a present - vocal lessons! She knew, that I really wanted it. Cause Covid and no money stopped my lessons.
Nowadays. Open lesson with all students of my Vocal master. I sing this song. The power of words and memories beat me in my heart. But now I’m stronger than 4 years later. I finished this song. My hands shaked.
Me and my wife love each other and understand very very deep. All fears and problems now at the past and I love her so much.
Thank you for your music and for this emotions. Forever in my heart!!!
