This is a song I was commissioned to write for a grade 5 class of children that were graduating to middle-school. The song was performed entirely by the students including the piano accompaniment.

Precious Moments by Rob Fillo ©2022
Verse 1:
There are times that echo forever
Precious moments so bold and so true
You worry they’ll fade, but they'll never
Though this chapter is closing it’s true

Verse 2:
There are times when I might feel lonely
I’ll remember the days at my school
How the bruised knees and heartbreaks all mended
All the struggles I fought my way through

Verse 3:
And the friends, their love and our laughter
Like a tree I grew, how I grew
And the lessons I learned from my teachers
Who cared more than I really knew

Pre Chorus:
In this precious moment I thank you

Chorus:
Winding road lies ahead
When I’m dreaming in my bed
Let me drift back to the time I spent with you

Coda:
And the times that echo forever
Precious moments so bold and so true
In this grateful moment
In this special moment
In this precious moment I thank you

Chorus:
Winding road lies ahead
When I’m dreaming in my bed
Let me drift back to the time I spent with you

Coda:
And the times that echo forever
Precious moments so bold and so true

In this grateful moment
In this special moment
In this precious moment I thank you.

What You Hold In Your Heart by Rob Fillo ©2023
Verse 1:
If we only knew these were the good old days
Before they left and fell away
Could we all slow down and let it all in
‘Cause life is short and bitter sweet
First you’re up in the clouds
Then your down on the street
Could we slow it all down and let it all in
Chorus:
I know you’ve got those bills to pay
For your house and your soul
But one day when it all goes away
All you’ll have is what you hold in your heart
All you’ll have is what you hold in your heart
Verse 2:
I can see you’re a lot like me
You got a mind for misery
You gotta slow it all down
Let the healing begin
Darkness comes you gotta let it go
Feel the spirit and let it grow
Then slow it all down
And let it all in
Chorus

Rob Fillo – New Single: "Troubled Times" 

With Troubled Times, Rob Fillo offers a gripping reflection on the distractions and self-destructive patterns that define modern society. From the addictive pull of news and social media to the numbing effects of alcohol and drug use, Fillo’s gut-punch performance captures the emotional weight of a world teetering on the edge of chaos. His lyrics vividly paint a scene of internal struggle intertwined with societal breakdown, resonating deeply with the frustrations and anxieties of our times. 

The song’s hard rock energy is unmistakable—gritty guitar riffs, driving drums, and raw, powerful vocals amplify the urgency of the message. But beneath the heavy sound lies something more: a call to pause and consider where these distractions are leading us, and to reconnect with the values and relationships that offer true meaning in the face of 
adversity. 

Behind the scenes, Cameron P. Lawrence, who produced the track and selected the instrumentation, adds a powerful sonic depth to Troubled Times. Lawrence’s choice of commanding guitar tones and driving rhythms underpins the emotional gravity of the song, allowing Fillo’s raw vocals to take center stage. The result is an immersive soundscape that heightens the tension of the lyrics, creating a balance between force and reflection. 

Troubled Times is more than just a rock anthem. It’s a visceral commentary on modern life that speaks to anyone who has felt overwhelmed by the relentless pace of the world around them. Fillo’s emotive performance cuts through the noise, offering a moment of reflection in a time of widespread confusion. Through the storm of chaos, the song clings to the idea that there is still something worth fighting for—an anchor in a sea of distractions. 

Fillo’s raw vocals and Lawrence’s gripping instrumentation give Troubled Times the kind of emotional punch that stays with you long after the final note fades. This track is not just about survival, but about confronting the turmoil head-on and finding clarity in the moments that remind us of what truly matters.
