An Exchange of Encouragement: Sharing Three Messages Between A Fan and Rise-Ascend

Hello Everyone,

I recently received a very special message from a fan, and I want to share our brief email exchange with you all.

A Fan:

“Hello, 

By chance I downloaded the Jango app, after years of not having used it, and through that heard the song "Twilight." I'm very happy fate conspired to let me discover your beautiful music and message. It is very refreshing, in this tumultuous time, to hear your music and voice standing up for what you believe, against the grain and dark path people seem to be following now.

Whether it was God, fate, or random chance that led me to your music, I'm happy to be a new listener and a fan of your music and message!

Cheers,               
A Fan”
 
Rise-Ascend:

“Dear ---------,

I want to extend my deepest, and most sincere gratitude for receiving your beautifully encouraging message.

I hope you believe me when I say, I have been doing this for many years, and I sincerely cannot recall receiving a more encouraging and beautiful message from a fan or listener.

In terms of making music, I walk a path that is very challenging, and honestly lonely, at times. Sometimes, I’m not so sure my music/message is getting through to people. However, your message affirms, in my mind, the priceless reward of touching people through music from the heart, and provides me with immense motivation to keep doing what I do.

It’s almost as if encouragement from above was sent through your kind message.

​All that said, I sincerely thank you from the bottom of my heart.

Also, if you don’t mind, I would like to completely redact a copy of your email (entirely removing your name, and any personal identifiable information, making the message anonymous) and share it on my blog – as I feel it is truly that special.

Lastly, please feel free to subscribe to my YouTube channel, and click the bell, in order to receive notifications as soon as I release a new song.

Kind regards,

“I would be thrilled for you to share my message on your blog, I'm very happy that you found it so impactful!

It's an odd time we live in right now, with a lot of hate and dishonesty, so the truth in your songs shine brightly. I believe there are so many people who are craving the truth right now, so your path may be lonely, but it is very meaningful.

I look forward to your future songs!
A Fan”
