The talented Mark Hamilton brings to us ‘Riders on the Storm’
I hope you all enjoy this release as part of my efforts to highlight Mental Health. The original version of this song was recorded by The Doors. The lead singer Jim Morrison tragically died of an overdose on July 3rd 1971. By re-imagining this inspiring song, I hopes to show people who are suffering that they are not alone, that there is a huge community of people reaching out their hands. Above all, this song is meant to #breakthestigma and bring people together for an incredibly important, long overdue conversation.
For singer/songwriter Mark Hamilton, music is not a career. It is a higher calling, a way to call attention to the silent epidemic of mental illness that has taken the lives of countless artists and individuals. Mark covers songs by musicians who were lost too soon to suicide and drug abuse. By re-imagining these inspiring songs, he hopes to show people who are suffering that they are not alone, that there is a huge community of people reaching out their hands. Above all, Mark’s music is meant to #breakthestigma and bring people together for an incredibly important, long overdue conversation.
