about

San Diego roots-rocker Jackslacks is back in 2022 with a brand new single, The Unity Song. Serving as a bookend to last years title track, Inside Out, the original music supports a theme of love and unity, and aims to provide a joyful musical alternative - One Nation under God - to the divisiveness that has superficially enveloped our great country.
While incorporating Jackslacks signature sound with ringing guitars, doghouse bass, saloon style piano, horns, harpsichord, and a single snare approach that just won’t quit, the crack band, featuring Jerry “Hot Rod” DeMink, Billy Raven, and Dave Roof lays down a melodious “Love-a-billy” boogie. Produced by Jackslacks and Mike Kamoo and mastered by Steve Wetherbee, The Unity Song grooves naturally and rocks tenaciously. So clap your hands and stomp your feet. It’s time to put your dancing shoes back on!

lyrics

I showed up today, my head held high,
The essence of life, right in front of me.
Believing in man and the common good,
As I’m reaching for the light,
Reaching for the light.
Easily led astray, I won’t runaway,
Heart, mind and soul, leading the way.
These we share, that’s our humanity,
As I’m reaching for the light,
Reaching for the light.
Come together, all together now,
Love one another, start right now!
In the middle of the night,
I’m still reaching, reaching,
Reaching for the light.
Come on now, all you people,
One in the same, and one for all.
Singing & dancing, with this unity song,
As I'm reaching for the light,
Reaching for the light.
Come together, all together now,
Love one another, start right now!
In the middle of the night,
I’m still reaching, reaching,
Reaching for the light.
