???? Music That Heals the Hurt: Roy Dawson and The RoyElvisBand Deliver a Soul-Stirring
*By Melody Sharp | Sound & Soul Magazine
In an era where music often leans into gloss and repetition, Roy Dawson and The RoyElvisBand remind us what real songwriting is all about — truth, courage, and healing.
Their newest single, "Bless Them and Change Me," is not just a song — it's a spiritual reckoning. Written by Roy Dawson, a profoundly gifted singer-songwriter known for his lyrical depth and raw honesty, this track dives deep into the wounds we carry and the grace we offer in return. It's gritty. It's gospel-tinged. It's real.
And people are feeling it.
From the opening verse to the last echo of the slide guitar, "Bless Them and Change Me" offers a vulnerable prayer wrapped in powerful, emotional delivery. Dawson sings with the conviction of a man who has lived every line he writes — and audiences across genres are responding. The chorus alone — "Bless them, Lord, and change me…" — is the kind of refrain that lives in your chest long after the music fades.
But make no mistake: Roy Dawson isn’t just an artist — he’s a fighter. Over the years, he’s weathered storms many couldn’t survive, including unjust attacks and campaigns designed to silence his voice. Despite the noise and the attempts to drag his name through the mud, Dawson continues to rise — with grace, wisdom, and fierce resilience. That power bleeds through in his music.
And let’s be honest: greatness attracts jealousy. But as many in the music world know, Roy’s work speaks louder than any lie ever whispered.
With songs published and played across countless platforms, Dawson’s reach continues to grow — not just because of his sound, but because of his spirit. Fellow artists are calling him a “leader,” “an inspiration,” and “a voice for the voiceless.” They’re not wrong.
In "Bless Them and Change Me," Roy shows us a better way — not to retaliate, but to release. Not to curse, but to bless. It’s a message the world needs now more than ever. It’s bold. It’s brave. It’s beautifully done.
We’ll be keeping our eyes and ears open for more from The RoyElvisBand, and more wisdom from Roy Dawson, who proves time and again that no weapon formed against here purpose will prosper — especially when that purpose is to heal the world through music.
So if you haven’t heard it yet, press play.
Let it wash over you.
Let it challenge you.
And maybe — just maybe — let it change you.
