The video for ‘Learn To Resist’ by David Judson Clemmons can be found in the player below. The musician will release his new album “Everything A War” on February 28th. You can pre-order the long player this place. Clemmons comments:
“For me, the most important thing in my career is to stay as close to my own style as possible. Over the years, I have been reminded regularly and in different ways that what I have to offer the world musically is nothing like Mass popularity. And I consider that a great compliment. Integrity is more important to me than fame. The path that was chosen for me has taken me to the most inspiring places and allowed me to work with some of the most talented musicians in the world. I’m happy about all the little crossroads along the way that got me to where I am now.
With the release of Everything A War on the horizon, I can share what really helped me over the last year of working on the album. I have freed myself from the concept of time. And of money. I focus on appreciation. And as much as society wants to force me to take certain paths or dictate certain speeds, I promised myself that I would have my own speed. I also remind myself that I need to maintain my connection with the “Earth.” And to fill my music with a warming message in order to be relevant.
I remember like it was yesterday when I was thirteen years old and listening to Styx or Queen with headphones and feeling like I was in the right place at exactly the right time. Where I should be. I hope that I can transfer this energy to other people. If there’s a concept behind Everything A War, it’s that you should follow your instincts. Because the world has become a business. And these businesses want your money, your time, your thoughts. Just anything that makes these empires grow.
I hope that we can resist all these demands that society and capitalism want to force on us. And sure, the title of the album doesn’t just imply war between armies. I also chose the title to protect my daily mental peace within my own four walls. If we as humans can’t get along in our own environments, in our communities, how can we expect countries to make it on the world stage? My instincts have always taught me that whenever we can take a step back and be grateful for what we have, then there is a chance that things will get better.”

S something that I deeply resonate with. Collaborating with David and Anne allowed us to merge our individual styles, creating a rich sound that was both cohesive and varied.

As a professional website editor for world-today-news.com, I am delighted to present this exclusive interview with singer-songwriter David Judson Clemmons and two of his collaborators, Anne de Wolff and Robert Goldbach. In anticipation of the release of his new album “Everything A War” on February 28th, we discuss the inspiration behind the track “Learn to Resist,” the album’s overall theme, and their experiences working together.
David, you mentioned that remaining true to your own style is paramount to your artistry. Can you expand on what this means for you as a musician? And how it has influenced the creation of “Everything A War”?
David Judson Clemmons: It means staying authentic and not being swayed by trends or external pressures to change my sound to fit into what’s popular. It’s about staying true to my vision, my emotions, and my experiences, and expressing them through my music. For “Everything A War,” which was recorded over the course of a year, I focused on creating music that resonated with me personally, without concern for commercial success or mainstream appeal. By staying true to myself, I believe the album has a unique voice that conveys my intentions and message effectively.
Anne de Wolff, you have played violin and various string instruments on the album. What was your approach to creating your parts for “Everything A War,” and how did you collaborate with David?
