“God Help America” – Patricia L. Willis: StreamLINE Music Review
It’s fascinating that even in the most prodigious periods of conflict, music and faith have a way of impacting people in a positive way; giving them a common interest or something to rally around.
We’re spotlighting a song today called “God Help America” written by contemporary songwriter Patricia L. Willis, which although written and recorded prior to the emergence of COVID is such a fitting song for the current state of affairs in the United States.
“God Help America” is a song of hope, pride and faith and is a composition that is so needed at a time like this where the country is divided along a variety of fronts…political, racial, ideological and even personal medical choices.
Patricia’s messaging and lyricism in the song are extremely poignant and powerful. They are stirring and the emotions they convey are delivered exceptionally well by the male vocalist on the track.
The song is essentially a passionate plea for God to watch over and help us through the trials and tribulations that may befall the country.
United we stand
Divided we fall
Oh God, oh God, help us all
Excerpt from lyrics of “God Help America” : Patricia L. Willis
While the song contains a religious based theme, the brilliant way it’s constructed and produced make it easily relatable to a wide cross section of music listeners, those of whom may not have any faith leanings one way or another.
This is a land of prosperity
This is a land of possibilities
This is a land of hopes and dreams
This is land that believes in unity
Excerpt from lyrics of “God Help America” : Patricia L. Willis
The instrumentation of this inspirational track is driven by a mellow, contemporary and jazzy blend of musical elements that provide a harmonic appeal equal to that of the insightful words. There is also a magnificent lead saxophone throughout which opens up into an enthralling solo effort.
