John Welton: A Review of Songs and Lyrics

A song is still dancing in my head as my feet work to keep up with the tune. It's one of those rhythms that get into your head and you want it to stay. The tune? Molecules by singer/songwriter, John Welton.

With his precise and excited guitar playing, he keeps the club rocking and the space jam-packed. The atmosphere he inspires is one of dancing, fun and inspiration with his unique blend of Jam Band and Adult Contemporary sound. Soulful yet funky, insightful and inspiring, John Welton not only speaks to your melodic soul; he speaks to your mind with his lyrics. He encompasses political issues, spirituality, human causes and love won and lost.

His song Molecules states:

"Isn't it cool that we're all molecules, interconnected and hand selected by the Creator...whoever she is.."

I was so impressed by his ability to embrace feminism and spirituality while I watched as all the men in the crowd sang every word! Welton's music goes above and beyond in its message. Interpersonally, you can see this is a man on a special journey, and that journey is to inspire other's through song.

As you listen to more of his extensive library of music, you will see that Welton is in touch with the current political mood of our nation and that it is one that needs improvement through humanitarian reform. In "The World Today", Welton states:

"Whatever happened to the Golden Rule? Why are there metal detectors in the elementary schools?"

His message? That life is to be lived with love and passion and the refusal to ignore the current state of our nation and the classes it encompasses. Through the myriad of political smoke we are fed daily, Welton is able to define and clarify what it all means with his music. I am reminded of a bygone era when singers sang with passion and conviction and truly cared about people, not just the wealth their talent could provide them. Welton is one of those musicians who care passionately about humanity and it's many plights.

Music is transcendent and John Welton has found a way to take you on a spiritual and intellectual journey while making your body spontaneously burst into joyful dance. Welton's music enraptures a listener. His already rabid fan bases love him and respect him as a best friend. His interaction with the crowd is sincere and honest. The performance style is intimate, yet has the feel of a stadium show bringing back memories to the hey day of the Grateful Dead. He truly enjoys making his fans happy and promotes sincerity, honesty and a passion for song and life that no one can deny once they have had the John Welton experience.
