What If This Dream Is All We Have?
Band Story
What If This Dream Is All We Have? is a musical project from the songwriting pages of Jason Soloduik. Having been a part of the Ontario music scene for 10 years, 25-year-old Soloduik understands the struggles and longings of his audience and hopes his music will inspire listeners to reflect on their lives and get excited about their futures.
After releasing and touring his debut record in 2006, singer-songwriter Soloduik was swept away on a rollercoaster of emotions and life experiences. Playing in a few bands and spending his days in college just wasn’t enough. For inspiration, Soloduik flew to Europe. He explains, “It was a crazy year! I had a lot to reflect on and write about. When I came back from Europe, the record was pretty much written, and I went back into the studio to record it.”
Recorded at Sundown Studios in Guelph, Ontario, with friend Jordan Valeriote in the producer’s chair, Look Outside Your Window is not only a step up in terms of production value, but also in melodic maturity and lyrical depth. “This was the first time I stepped out of my comfort zone during the recording process, and it was a great decision,” says Soloduik. “I didn’t hold anything back. We tried everything, and there were no limitations. And I think that comes out in the record!”
It certainly does.
What If This Dream Is All We Have? returns in a big way with nine new and refreshing pop-rock/indie songs. While listeners will recognize songwriting influences from Blind Melon, Angels & Airwaves, Jack's Mannequin, and Anberlin, the project has clearly crafted a unique sound of its own. From the haunting honesty of This Isn’t Personal, It Is What It Is to the bursting excitement of The Road, it’s clear that Soloduik has poured every shred of himself into this project.
“This record is definitely the record I’ve always wanted to write since getting into music,” he says. “‘Look Outside Your Window’ means to look past the norms of life and discover yourself, your surroundings, and what life is really about. It’s about getting excited about who you are, looking past all your hurts, and moving forward without compromise.”
Having already received radio airplay across Canada with his first record and sold countless albums to dedicated fans, Soloduik has set his sights even higher this time around—but not in the traditional sense. “What If This Dream Is All We Have? is about love. It’s about being vulnerable and honest and sharing your heart. It’s faith-based, not religious. We’re all looking for hope, and we’re all looking for something real.”
What if this dream is all we have?
You may just find that a dream is more than enough.
