JOHN REILLY RELEASES NEW SONG ‘AMAZING LIFE’ CO WRITTEN BY LEWIS NITIKMAN
Amazing Life is the first release of 2020 from UK Singer Songwriter John Reilly.
In most people’s living memory there has not been a time such as now, where literally worldwide and simultaneously, humanity has been focused on how precious life is.
Just step back and listen to Amazing Life and then breathe in the realisation of how far you have come.
From his opening line
‘When you were young the world was small. Began and ended in your street’ Reilly then takes you on a journey through ‘the wonders you have seen, the beautiful souls, the laughs, the crazy times’ and then presents you with your own realisation ‘You made a rainbow, your Amazing Life’
Reilly’s intensely personal vocal and lyric are wrapped in the sweeping anthemic rollercoaster of co writer Lewis Nitikman’s arrangement with weighty atmospheric piano and strings leading to a powerful, passionate vocal celebration of inspirational life milestones cascading down to a lone voice singing directly to you and you alone.
Liverpool born Singer songwriter John Reilly and now Sheffield’s adopted musical son has followed his success in The US and Canada with his band Boy on a Dolphin by returning to begin a solo career which is growing with the emergence of his powerful and moving albums Tea Cozy Hat, Zebulon and Bad Vibe Shredder. He has helped with the raising £170,000 with his performances and song ‘Women of Steel’ co written with John Parr and Grammy Award Winning producer Eliot Kennedy which culminated in a major statue in the centre of Sheffield honouring the women who worked in the steel Industry during both wars. Reilly performed the song on the BBC1 show ’The People Remember’ on November 9th and is now writing the screenplay for The Women of Steel story. BBC Radio have supported his singles Not Alone, Living with it and Building Avalon and the exciting release of his spiritually uplifting Christmas single ‘PEACE SIGN’ co written with Canadian writer and pianist Lewis Nitikman.
A John Reilly concert is almost a spiritual event. An evening where every emotion is touched and unleashed in a uniquely intimate atmosphere created by his intensely profound lyrics and stunning vocals.
