[ad_1]

Pittsburgh, PA, United States, 06/19/2021 / SubmitMyPR /

Last month, Pittsburgh music veteran John Vento fulfilled his promise of releasing a gospel song. “Let God Drive,” written by Vento and long-time collaborators David Granati and Matt Wohlfarth, shot straight to the top of the UK ITunes Christian/Gospel songs chart. It followed suit on the Christian Radio Chart, hitting the top in its first week of release. Now, Vento is stripping things back from the highly produced “Let God Drive.”

On Father’s Day, June 20th, 2021, John Vento will release Track 8 from his year-long “Brick By Brick” album release. Produced by Vento and David Granati, “That Damn War (Father & Son)” is in stark contrast to the full-production of his previous single. With only Granati accompanying him on acoustic guitar, Vento delivers an emotional tale about a father, son and the Vietnam War. Lyrics are based on a Matt Wohlfarth poem titled “I Didn’t Know My Dad Until He Died.”

Vento says, “That Damn War (Father & Son) is very intimate and raw. David and I began working on Matt’s lyrics, but we just couldn’t get it to click. After weeks of false starts, David came up with a new chord progression, and things moved very quickly from there. Matt and I revised the lyrics and fine-tuned the story of a Vietnam Vet who, even with his emotional struggles, was a good dad who loved and supported his family.”

He continues, “Even though we specifically focus on a Vietnam Vet in the song, it could have been anybody who struggles between certain demons (addiction, divorce, etc.) and their family responsibilities. In other words this song is about relationships.”

A video produced by Jim Pitulski is planned for release.
