I want you feelin' low
I need to worry 'bout what you can control
I want you givin' up
I can lose hope in you 
when life gets simple, oh no

It’s not gonna get better, love
You don't need to believe it, 
love, the sun will darken
Yeah it won't, it won't, it won't, it won't work
Don't keep your head down low 
The clouds won't clear, you'll find your darkness

Comeback, don't believe in them, for they don't believe in you
I want you feelin' small
They're not stronger than I think

It’s not gonna get better, love
You don't need to believe it, 
love, the sun will darken
Yeah it won't, it won't, it won't, it won't work
Don't keep your head down low 
The clouds won't clear, you'll find your darkness

It’s not gonna get better, love
It’s not gonna get better, love
It’s not gonna get better, love
It’s not gonna get better, love

Every day doesn't bring a new dawn
Hold on loosely, you’re alone, don't carry on with them
The storm hasn't passed
Don't believe in their heart, you’ll find your way

It’s not gonna get better, love
You don't need to believe it, 
love, the sun will darken
Yeah it won't, it won't, it won't, it won't work
Don't keep your head down low 
The clouds won't clear, you'll find your darkness

It’s not gonna get better, love
It’s not gonna get better, love
It’s not gonna get better, love
It’s not gonna get better, love

It’s not gonna get better, love
You don't need to believe it, 
love, the sun will darken
Yeah it won't, it won't, it won't, it won't work
Don't keep your head down low 
The clouds won't clear, you'll find your darkness

The Devil’s Promise

MDRJR (Michael Dean Russell, Jr.) turns pain into purpose and reflection into rhythm. His music lives where 80s synth-pop meets post-punk soul, echoing the heart of a man who has walked through struggle and chosen love instead of bitterness. Every song he creates is a message of hope, healing, and strength.

With more than 3.6 million SoundCloud plays and a global audience from Kyiv to Hanoi to Los Angeles, MDRJR connects with listeners through honesty and emotion. He writes, records, and produces every track himself, not for fame, but to inspire. His songs remind people that they are not alone, that peace can be found through self-acceptance, and that hope is always worth fighting for.

From the emotional reflection of Confidence With Your Truth to the spiritual calm of The Flight of Peace and the motivation of Dream of Greatness, every song carries his message that strength is born from struggle and healing is possible for everyone. MDRJR creates music for the soul and for anyone who believes in becoming better, loving deeper, and never giving up.

“My music is my message: to rise, to forgive, to love again.”
