went well you guys let me know what you thought [Music] guys I have a really big interview today it's with someone who's a pretty big deal um I'm already running late I'm not dressed as you can see I have a raggedy shirt on my hair is a mess I just brushed my teeth so I'm just trying to get this done as quickly as possible because I gotta get going and to say I'm a little nervous is an understatement so I gotta get out of here um oh okay okay let's go get some clothes on oh my gosh let me have my clothes hanging out they're just all the baskets and bins over here I know I have some black pants that I want to wear oh my goodness so here they are oh and I can wear that shirt too it's just like all right our Jean jacket's out and we're back in and maybe I've had this for a while is it is it out again maybe just the shirt I don't know if this is the worst time to not have any clothes when you realize oh I don't own much of any clothes and the ones I do have have holes in them good [Music] [Music] okay I'm heading out this is it it's time to go wish me luck guys there's always like dark hallways in these places all right next step on our show it is a father of seven and he's releasing a new song Let's welcome Jonathan Murray oh hi everyone hey thanks for having me wow you're a bit nervous you're a bit a little bit shorter in person than you are on TV but thanks for having me um okay so you got the Murray we have a few questions oh okay I thought you might have some first question is why did you write this song oh well my song is called mess of a man it's coming out May 19th and the song is about when my uh father left whenever I was just a little boy and he left for five years he did come back but I guess I just didn't really realize kind of how that had impacted me up until I started having kids of my own and started realizing I was doing things and wondering why did I do you know why did I react a certain way why did I even just carry myself the way I carried myself and it kind of made me remember that I like back when I was a little boy when that happened and I never really dealt much with that so I wanted this song to be kind of a story about my journey my story like whenever I went through that but now how I'm growing and um recognizing some things and trying to make changes in my own life for the better uh so that I can raise you guys to be the best you possibly can be I never even knew you never even knew well now you know I'm glad we're doing this dinner oh how does it make me feel um how does the song Make Me Feel yeah I feel like maybe somebody helped you with these questions Maybe maybe an older sister okay um well the song makes me feel um you know it's kind of a sad song but it really doesn't make me feel sad it makes me feel kind of um hopeful because I hope that this song someone can hear this song maybe it's somebody who's planning to walk out on their family maybe it's somebody who's having a rough time in their marriage or in their uh their life every single day and so then maybe they've never been shown the right way to do it either so I hope that someone will listen to this and um kind of hear some of the lyrics in there and and feel like okay uh I don't want to do that I don't want to leave my family so I hope that you know we can carry on a conversation Beyond this song and maybe give people some hope in their lives and uh in their relationships and to to help them grow and to be men or women that God has called them to be okay with this does he understand uh yes I talked to my dad Gramps before um releasing this song or I told him I was planning to release this song and I wanted to you know just let him know and kind of explain why and I was letting him know that it wasn't I wasn't releasing the song because I needed to get my feelings out and I had this like deep hurt that needed to be you know told to the world it was more that I had already kind of worked through a lot of that myself um and I felt like it was really important to get this conversation going so while this song may again sound sad and it may have like a you know certain feel to it the whole my whole goal with this was just to get conversation happening and people thinking like you know some people may not even understand that years later the way that they have always been the way that they feel like they've always done things um may have stemmed from you know having a parent hurt them like that walking out on them and them having to feel like they're on their own or that they're alone and that nobody cares about them and they may still feel like that but 30 years later they may not they might not realize that's why they feel like that so I wanted to kind of bring this back up because it is such a common thing did you know that one in four kids are raised without a dad one out of four that's a lot isn't it for every four kids one of those kids was raised without a father like if you go to a school you go to someone to go to school and you line up four kids just four random kids one of those kids will not have not had a will not have a father in their house raising them it'll just be their mom or their grandma or somebody else um and so we really need strong men in this world and to raise children uh because there's a lot of Statistics with that as well statistics meaning there's a lot of uh information about when fathers leave that those kids that don't have fathers are more likely to go to prison they're more likely to be homeless they're more likely to have just different issues in life and so I think it's really important to as men to step up and make sure that we are leading our families and being present men in our homes how long did it take you to make this song well I started writing this song probably about two two and a half years ago and I kind of didn't finish it because it was like it was to me it was like man do I release this song do I not like I don't know I didn't want to like I didn't want to hurt gramps's feelings I didn't want to step on anybody's toes but I also felt like this story needed to be told and it's not told enough and again it's way too common you're talking about 25 percent of people children growing up without dads in their homes and so I feel like that's something that we need to be talking about um I was kind of not sure whether to write the song or finish it but then I just decided you know what I need to I need to get this out there people need to hear this song it's really important and my wife I don't know if you've met her before but she's uh she really thought this song was really important too so where can people listen to yours you can stream it or download it or buy it anywhere that you get your music
