Tauren Wells, Up | Music Lifts 🎶 🏋

In the 52^nd edition of Music Lifts (2023), we’re uplifted by Christian pop artist, Tauren Wells performing, “Up.”

Welcome to Music Lifts 🎶 🏋, a column that seeks to highlight songs that encourage, inspire, and uplift the spirit; songs that exude fortitude, positivity, and resolve, even in the face of adversity.  Featured songs aren’t genre-specific; songs may or may not be faith-based. The goal is for these songs to make you feel better – be LIFTED to new heights!  So, for the 52^nd edition of Music Lifts 🎶 🏋 (2023), we highlight 🎵 “Up” as performed by 🎙 Tauren Wells.

“If you’re having a hard day / Ain’t no way you’re giving up, up, up, up, up / If you’re dealing with heartbreak 💔 / Ain’t no way you’re giving up, up, up, up, up.” That’s right – there will be no giving up and no quitting! 🎙 Tauren Wells delivers a surefire, uplifting anthem for those going through hard times: 🎵 “Up”!!! He continues singing in the chorus, “Keep your head high, keep on fighting / ‘Cause the pressure makes a diamond 💎 / Tomorrow’s a new day, yeah / Ain’t no way you’re giving up, up, up, up, up.” “Up” graces his 2022 album, 💿 Joy in the Morning. He wrote his anthem alongside 🎼 ✍ Michael Matosic and Jamie Moore.  Produced by 🎛 Jordan Sapp, Tedd T, and Mitchell Solarek, notably this fresh joint samples the lit 🔥 🎙️ Hulvey joint, 🎵 “Can’t Tell It All”.

Throughout the course of this R&B/pop-infused Christian/contemporary gospel cut, Wells offers of various scenarios, all of which are relatable.  He references the hard work happening worldwide, from the high-powered jobs (Wall Street) to the most humble (small town barbershops), as well as common hardships: “Crying tears like a river runs / No umbrella and you’re caught in the rain,” and later, “Another doomsday news cycle.” The point is, when things seem at that all-time low, don’t give up or give in! Know that a win, a victory, is on the way – you’ve got next! Don’t wallow in the pain and let it encapsulate you but instead, speak progress and believe He’s – God’s – got you, even when times are darkest, and things appear to be their bleakest.  🎵 “Up” is just what the doctor ordered!
