I'm about to get more personal than I ever have before. I pray that
sharing this story may help or inspire people and make you realize you
can change anything you put your mind to. This has been a year unlike
any other in my life. For years I only lived for one thing and one
thing only. Music.
For the last 7 years I neglected every other
area of my life to a point where I almost destroyed myself. My body
was literally falling apart and my mind was hazey. For over 5 years I
have been in constant pain. Literally from head to toe (An old knee
injury in college and two impacted wisdom teeth). I would have sharp
pains that would last days, even weeks.
Sometimes the pain was
so severe I would spend countless days staying in bed and only getting
up to write songs and record. Now you can understand why the songs on "The Sound" were so depressing. Just remember when you listen to that
record, I was in pain while singing every lyric, strumming every
guitar, playing every piano key. Please understand if I ever seemed
rude or dismissive, it was simply because I was miserable. I'm so sorry
if I seemed overconfident or unthankful to any of you.
By 2009
I was playing over 250 shows a year...mostly colleges. I would travel
on Sunday's so there was no time for church. I remember waking up one
morning in a hotel room having absolutely no idea where I was.
I thought to myself "something has to change...this isn't working...there is more to life than this"
So last August I moved down to Provo and enrolled back in school. I can
honestly tell you now that miracles do happen. I started working out 6
days a week, and eating a healthy balanced diet. After only 3 months I
had gained 30 pounds of muscle and my knee pain was completely gone. I have become fully active in church and suddenly the world is clearer
and even more beautiful than before.
All this time I thought
focusing just on music it would make it better. But now I find the more
balanced my life was the more the music improved. The songs have become
more focused and more hopeful than ever.
As of yesterday I
finally had my wisdom teeth removed. For the first time in almost 8
years I will be singing without them. Get ready to see a huge
difference.
I have realized now this music isn't about me at
all. It's for the people who listen to it. It doesn't matter what those
songs really mean to me, it's how they matter to people like you. I'm
lucky that anyone had made me a part of their life soundtrack.
I
try to read all your comments, every email and talk to everyone at
every show. I am so grateful for each of you. Without whom I would not
be where I am. I want you all to know I love you.
Big things are
about to happen for Allred. This year will be even better than the
last. Thank you all for your support. You are such a blessing in my
life.
You're a part of this!
John

Allred-
You are an amazing musician and from my experiences with you I know that you are an amazing individual. I have never enjoyed any other artists work like I have loved yours. I love that all of your work comes from your own life experiences because then we, your friends and fans, can relate to them and that's what makes great art and music. Whenever you are in Logan I am there to see you perform no matter what. I only wish I could make it to all of your concerts in Salt Lake too.
I'm so glad that life is better for you :) Keep up the good work John. You're fantastic.

..."We're all a part of this"
Thank you so much for writing this, you have inspired me. This is a great story and I have learned much from it. I am a huge fan and your music has become a huge part of my life, more than anyone that I know. Certain CDs of yours can remind me of certain times where I listened to them and they seemed to sympathize to my feelings so well. I look forward to be able to come home again and see your shows again. They have been some of my favorite shows for sure. For example, I remember your "The Sound CD Release"in Provo distinctly. The Sound is still one of my deep favorites, there is so much emotion and heart in that record, so I appreciate all that you put into it. I also appreciate all that you put into your music still. Thank you!
