My name is Steven Jackson I am a Singer/Songwriter from Kingston, Ontario, Canada. I have been writing songs for many years and I view the process as a
Songwriter from Kingston, Ontario, Canada. I have been writing songs for many years and I view the process as a journey. The beauty of songwriting is you never know where it is going to take you. Many roads become explored within the labyrinth of your mind and many emotions are uncovered. Songwriting is very personal, for me it creates a reason for being on this crazy world; when many things in life don't make sense, writing songs does make sense !. I would also say creating music is a means of gaining Immortality, the music will continue to exist long after death. Thus I am leaving something behind. I strive to write songs that are honest and from the heart, as a songwriter it is important for me personally to bare my soul. Integrity is something that I strive for. I hope and pray that my music has integrity. Death is a theme I find very interesting in life, I have been obsessed with death even as a child. Probably because so many loved-ones close to me have passed away. You cannot help but be affected by it. Death is a constant in my life. As you grow older the reality of death grows closer, I hate the idea of aging and dieing but again it is something you have no control over. That isn't to say I am not going to fight it, I will try, but the idea of death haunts me night and day, and it seems that for me there is no escaping it. In terms of my music, I consider the music and lyrics to be equally important. I strive to write lyrics that are relevent to my existence. The words are a vehicle for my voice to reach out and touch people, and maybe make you think a little, after all lyric writing is in my opinion, a form of Poetry......."Up above my head there is blue sky, below my feet there is dark, somewhere in the middle there is me, lost in thought".

Story behind the song
Elvis is now larger than life and many people have their favourite Elvis. I personally like the 'Sun Records Elvis' but I also like the 'Suspicious Minds Elvis'. This recording features my good friend Tim Aylesworth who added the blistering guitar solo, added harmonies, electric and bass guitar and added to percussion too. Thanks Tim.
Lyrics
GONNA FIND ELVIS Well I'm heading down the road gonna loosen my load Gonna follow the code watching rivers flow Gonna find Elvis Gonna find Elvis Gonna walk the streets he walked Gonna talk the way he talked Gonna find Elvis. Going to Tupelo, Mississippi, going to Memphis too I'm going to walk to Graceland going to wear my blue suede shoes Gonna find Elvis Gonna find Elvis Gonna walk the streets he walked Gonna talk the way he talked Gonna find Elvis. They say these streets are paved with gold they hum with Rock and Roll Gonna fill my soul he's the King he's never old Gonna find Elvis Gonna find Elvis Gonna walk the streets he walked Gonna talk the way he talked Gonna find Elvis. He's the King of Rock and Roll His music fills my soul I feel his presence in this land You just have to understand it's real it's real ! Well I'm heading down the road gonna loosen my load I can feel it in my soul and these streets are paved with gold Gonna find Elvis Gonna find Elvis Gonna walk the streets he walked Gonna talk the way he talked Gonna find Elvis.
