Sarantos Releases His Highest Rated Singer-Songwriter Song To Date and The Touching Top 40 Rock Music Video For "What If I Never See You Again" Oozes With Pure Emotion.
Questions that will run through one's mind as they deal with the death of a parent are too numerous to list. Sarantos knows this firsthand since his father passed away after a long, hard fought battle with lung cancer. Sarantos captures the essence of this frustration and exasperation one sleepless night and this folk song was born. The song, melody, rhythm and length fit the mood and feel of this tortured night.
The lengthy rock music video is a very real but close look at the frustration and emotion that Sarantos experienced after his dad passed away. Anyone who has lived through the death of their parent can certainly relate. The footage makes palpable to the viewer the angst and torment of the aftermath of losing a parent. This memorable music video is unlike all of Sarantos other music videos to date.
“This is quite a different music video for me," says Sarantos. “The footage is realistic, and the motion and effects are purposeful so that the viewer understands the sense of frustration. It has the look and feel of an amateur video. Maybe some people are fortunate enough to not have experienced the death of a parent yet. However, the video tells the inside story. It is never-ending as the turmoil and disheartened attitude perseveres onscreen.”
33% of any music-related sales profits from this song are going straight to The National Center For Fathering.
The National Center for Fathering (Fathers.com) is a nonprofit educational organization that strives to improve the lives of children and establish a positive fathering and family legacy that will impact future generations by inspiring and equipping fathers and father figures to be actively engaged in the life of every child.
More than 24 million children live in a home without the physical presence of a father. Millions more have dads who are physically present, but emotionally absent. If it were classified as a disease, fatherlessness would be an epidemic worthy of attention as a national emergency.
Sarantos' music has received rave reviews, and he relishes this chance to pursue his life long dream. Sarantos' unique sound has been best described by industry insiders as "an emotionally powerful vocal style masterfully united with music that is a fusion of classic 80s rock blended with modern soft rock and pop music."
