The band that brought hits that turned ballads into secondary anthems for lovefilled situations serenades us this Saturday, July 26, at the Araneta Coliseum. MTV Philippines and co-presenter MCA Music proudly bring Jason Wade, Rick Woolstenhulme Jr., and Bryce Soderbergthe-the talented threesome of Lifehouse- for a one-night concert at the Big Dome.

Reminisce with songs that not only captured top spots in charts all across the globe but the hearts of many as well. Sway along with “Hanging by a moment”, “You and me”, “Sick cycle carousel”, “Whatever it takes”, “Spin”, “Breathing”, and “First Time,” among others.

From their debut album No Name Face that contained the single “Hanging by a moment” to their latest album Who We Are that contains the new single “Broken,” this band from Malibu, California, has reached heights father than any of them ever imagined.

Lifehouse has been a resident band in popular TV shows that require moos enhancing musical scores. This includes the Superman TV series Smallville that effectively utilized the song “Everything.” Another smash hit that is a TV show favorite is the song “Broken,” which is part of their latest album titled Who We Are. This songs has been used in episodes of Grey’s Anatomy, One Tree Hill, Criminal Minds, and The Hills.

Much of the appeal of the work of Lifehouse comes not only from the music but the genius collaboration of heartfelt words laid down by the group’s lead vocals, Jason Wade. In a pervious interview, this songwriter described his take on composing songs:

“A while back, I had a falling-out with someone I was really close to. I went through a hard time dealing with that, picking up the pieces. I’m not the kind of person who wants to sit down and have a long conversation about my feelings. That stuff tends to get worked out in the songs”

Jason gets his influence and inspiration from one of the biggest names in the music industry. He states in another pervious interview. “I grew up not really listening to much music but my mom turned me on to the Beatles, and they changed my life. I became obsessed with them. How can you not be? They’re the best of the best.”

Delving deeper into the pop pantheon, he discovered the works of Todd Rundgren, Badfinger, the Raspberries and other masters of the form.

Lifehouse has indeed been on a wild journey filled with mostly success and little bumps on the road with the change in band members and the unavoidable comparisons having to exceed expectations of many. How does a breakthrough act like Lifehouse view this journey? They not only compare it to the success of the music they offer but their own over-all view on life. As Jason would say, “It’s hard to move on from a certain place in your life, but it’s the struggle to do it that’s gets you where you need to go.”

Indeed, the greatest feat along this frequently rocky path is to stand, climb, fall and get back up again.

There is no better way to get a glimpse of what Lifehouse has to offer than to get the collection of songs that speaks of utmost emotion and understanding.
