    Lyrics:
    You try to hold me down so I became a soldier
    Built up all theses walls and now I'm climbing over
    Those nasty bees are tempting me
    Oh lord! But I ain't going back
    You take me for a fool, that doesn't make me foolish
    Told me I was wrong, passion made you ruthless
    Manipulate, it's just too late
    Oh lord! 'Cause I ain't going back no more
    Your fueling of the flames gonna show you what I'm made of
    Breakin' every chain that you put on me
    You thought I wouldn't change but I grew on you
    'Cause I will never be what you wanted
    This fire, this fire
    Is keeping me alive
    Making me believe I couldn't do without you
    Make it hard to leave you think it's all about you
    You know I'll never be what you wanted
    This fire, this fire
    I tried to get this weight off of my shoulders
    Built up all my strength I'm finally taking over
    Complicate, I don't appreciate
    Oh lord, 'cause I ain't going back no more
    Your fueling of the flames gonna show you what I'm made of
    Breakin' every chain that you put on me
    You thought I wouldn't change but I grew on you
    'Cause I will never be what you wanted
    This fire, this fire
    Is keeping me alive
    Making me believe I couldn't do without you
    Make it hard to leave you think it's all about you
    You know I'll never be what you wanted
    This fire, this fire
    Is keeping me alive
    Breakin' me, shakin' me, shapin' me
    Into what I never wanted, oh
    Breakin' me, shakin' me
    Makin' my beatin' heart a little stronger
    Breakin' every chain that you put on me
    You thought I wouldn't change but I grew on you
    'Cause I will never be what you wanted
    This fire, this fire
    Is keeping me alive
    Breakin' every chain that you put on me
    You thought I wouldn't change but I grew on you
    'Cause I would never be what you wanted
    This fire, this fire
    Is keeping me alive
    Making me believe I couldn't do without you
    Make it hard to leave you think it's all about you
    You know I'll never be what you wanted
    This fire, this fire
    Is keeping me alive
    Keeping me alive, keeping me alive
    This fire, this fire
    Is keeping me alive

    I want to take a moment and thank everyone for all the love and for sharing your life stories with me. I wrote "Keeping Me Alive" at a moment in my life where I was lost and confused. This song helped me through my struggles and I'm glad to see its doing the same for many. 🙏🏻 CRAZY to think we nailed 10 Millions views, I am blown away!
    Would love to know where everyone is from, if you leave a comment put the flag of you country at the end of your message. I hope to come out to your country and city when this pandemic is over. Wishing everyone good health and love!
    Peace, J

    It was Covid isolation in Saint-Petersburg. Me and my future wife in a small flat. We don’t have enough money. So close to hate each other. So close to depression. And I found this Treasure.
    4 years later. January. My sweet wife gives me a present - vocal lessons! She knew, that I really wanted it. Cause Covid and no money stopped my lessons.
    Nowadays. Open lesson with all students of my Vocal master. I sing this song. The power of words and memories beat me in my heart. But now I’m stronger than 4 years later. I finished this song. My hands shaked.
    Me and my wife love each other and understand very very deep. All fears and problems now at the past and I love her so much.
    Thank you for your music and for this emotions. Forever in my heart!!!

    I saw Jonathan last night at the Capitole in Quebec City, my first concert since COVID started and I picked a great one. The night started off with an opening act from a young man named John. This was his first time singing before a live audience but definitely won’t be his last. He has an amazing voice and he is a great storyteller. Then on to Jonathan and his family (as he calls his group), they sang a variety of his songs for 90 minutes. We the audience were amazed and happy, the walls of the Capitole shook last night with love and appreciation for the show we were given by such a talented group of musicians. They portrayed a tight knit group of people that had lots of love and respect for each other and I can’t forget they had fun up there singing for us. One of my best shows ever. Thank you all.

    This song...I’ve cried to this song, danced to this song, sang it with joy, and sang it with rage. It was on repeat through every dark night and every gray day as I fight to heal CPTSD and face my abusive past. It’s not just a good song, I feel it in my soul and it’s pulled me out of bed too many times to count.

    I almost never comment on youtube. But this is a moment for exceptions.
    This is a masterpiece on all levels!
    I am a survivor of many abusive relationships and this song acurately and poetically expresses the hell I have been through. But somehow, heaven as well. With the amazing choir, the powerful back up vocals, the dancing man rising in the end.
    The lyrics, melody, voice and video are in perfect harmony and they convey the power in all of us, to overcome and transcend our battles and maybe turn them into masterpieces like this one.
    Amazing, Jonathan! Amazing! From the passion that put into the singing, I can feel you’ve been there and came out. Well done for everything! Thank you! ❤

    Being the son of a legendary NHL goalie likely came with a tremendous amount pressure for you to follow in your dad's footsteps. But, you managed to follow your own dream and carve your own independent path towards success and contentment as a musician. You obviously found your true calling in life to produce and sing songs that offer us a glimmer of hope, serenity, and beauty in a world that is rife with turmoil, chaos, anxiety, distrust, inequality, and suffering. Bravo to you Jonathan.
