Danny Gokey - Rise

 

Danny Gokey has been active since 2008 and has won a few awards along the way. This song, a 2016 release, is one of his more popular songs. 

Temperament that it hits on: Melancholic 

Rise hits on my melancholic because most melancholics feel as if life is closing in on them sometimes. This song makes my "all time anthems" list for melancholic related songs because it actually tells you what to do next when you feel down on yourself. 

Danny Gokey has had some real hardships in his life. His wife died in 2008 after they were married for twelve years. That this song came from him really speaks to me. It seems to me that he is handling his loss pretty well.
