JACK STONE’s latest music video ‘The Rapture’ is a new sonic
journey that showcases Jack’s undoubtable progression as a songwriter and
artist. With this brand-new offering a long while in the making (and produced
by Matthew Marinus from Graham Watkins), ‘The Rapture’ sees Jack Stone at
perhaps his most contemplative yet, drawing inspiration from some very
difficult recent personal experiences. Don’t go expecting a morose ballad,
however, as Jack pulled out all the stops in crafting an accessible
contemporary rock number that speaks to listeners across generations. Regarding
the inspiration to write ‘The Rapture’, Jack explains, “After a very difficult
few months following the loss of someone extremely important to me, I had some
time to sit back and reflect on many things in my personal capacity as well as
the current state of the world we live in.” He further states, “During this
time, my mind was subconsciously twisting and turning at night swamped with
dreams and memories. From this unconscious internal discourse, the song came
about, though I had no idea as to what it would be about. I was just compelled
to compose, offering an honest reflection of my state of mind at the time.” As
with much of Jack Stone’s music, ‘The Rapture’ – though dealing with some
heavily emotional material – provides the listener with a strong sense of hope
and delivers an almost cathartic aural experience. It’s a song that demands
introspection and delivers a positive message about overcoming particularly
difficult times in your life. Jack elaborates, “The song is about questioning
yourself – really taking the time to reflect on your current state of mind and
what’s going on in your life. It’s about not giving in to apathy and wasting
time, but rather taking action to change those things that are negatively
affecting you – essentially ripping yourself out of a negative situation and
seizing positivity… that’s where the title ‘The Rapture’ comes from.”
