Singer and songwriter Rob Morton’s song, Just One More Day wIth You, is making its rounds in the music world. It’s one of his most emotional songs and connects with anyone who has lost a loved one. This song has touched many people worldwide, with hundreds of thousands of listens. Many artists around the world have even covered his song on Instagram, including covers from the Philippines, Denmark, Australia, Germany, and America. The music video of “Just One More Day with You,” is a true tearjerker, and has won Best Music Video award in several national shows, and the song has been played on the radio.
Rob says that one of his greatest motivations and turning points is when one of his sons became seriously ill some years ago.
“I’m proud to say that I am a dad of two boys. I started playing music after I became a father. In fact, the news that one of my sons got very sick was really the beginning for me. It was heartbreaking, but the start of it all, ” Rob Morton shared in an interview. “It was a dark, dark time and the single most significant event in my life – as a parent and as an artist. I started to reassess everything in my life.”
Thankfully his son has fully recovered since then, but Rob has continued writing songs since that time.
Rob Morton’s music is getting attention. Between Spotify, YouTube, and social media he has over a million listens. It’s because Rob’s songs speak to the heart. For example, his song Lucky Back Then is about daily gratitude and how we don’t know what we have until it is gone. Its classic opening line, “I wish I knew I was lucky back then…” captures you and makes you want to listen to the rest.
He has released two full-length albums, Private Moon and Lucky Back Then.
Rob told us, “Many other artists will say the most important part of a song is for it to be ‘catchy.’ I start with the lyrics – the words are the most important to me – and if the song happens to turn out catchy through the process, that’s just a bonus. It is more important for me to convey a concept or feeling through words.”
Currently, Rob Morton is working on a 3rd album. For a father who started being an artist later in life, he is thrilled with his success level so far.
“We all judge success differently. The fact that I started so late in life, yet still have some fans listening to my music and covering my songs – it’s thrilling to me. I hope I can connect with more people in the future,” says the songwriter. Rob would love for people to listen to “Just One More Day with You.” He believes that it is a great place to start. If that song touches them, and people connect with it, Rob believes that maybe they will move on to the next song.
