“THE ISLAND COWBOY,” JOHN JEROME, PUTS ALL OF LIFE INTO PERSPECTIVE IN HIS UPLIFTING NEW SINGLE, “IT’S ONLY A DAY”

Gloucester, MA-based songwriter/artist, John Jerome, releases uplifting Pop-Rock/Americana single, “It’s Only A Day” on all streaming platforms.

(Gloucester, MA – August 23, 2022) A day in the life of John Jerome, aka “The Island Cowboy,” is riddled with imagination and juxtaposed by an influx of societal chaos. Whether it’s the constant barrage of social media feeds or the loud disparities on the evening news, John is a homegrown musician who focuses on the positive things in life. John sits back on his guitar and takes a deep breath, reminding himself, “It’s Only A Day.” The new Pop-Rock/Americana single is an anthem to keep the mind at ease and just remember to enjoy the moment. Produced and written by himself and many greats, he reflects and says the song, “came together in a couple of different stages.”

The music begins with an opening chord progression that lent itself to a melody John “had been knocking around in [his] head for a while,” he says. The lyrics and tone of John’s voice take you back to the nostalgic 2000s era when music was simple, clean, and enjoyable – the radio singles like, “I’m Yours” by Jason Mraz come to mind. John’s melodies weave between his twangy guitar and classic shuffling drum arrangements. With an anthemic chorus like “It’s Only a Day,” John reminds us that we all eventually pass on, creating room for new birth in the world. This is the only real moment of melancholy that is supported by blues interludes. A tasteful, articulate combination.

The bridge drops into halftime creating subdivisions that give a listener the contrast of where the song intends for us to go. And in John’s world, that is away from the drama, and out of the chaos, so that we can remember to fully live our lives before we’re gone.

For listeners of Pop/Rock/Country/Americana, Jason Mraz, Mat Kearney, Eric Hutchinson, Matt Costa, Thomas Rhett, Edwin McCain, The Fray, Dave Matthews Band, O.A.R, G. Love & Special Sauce and many more.
