An Album from Mark Montijo
Mark Montijo’s If I Get To Heaven resonates with a depth that’s hard to shake. Each song on the album feels like a snapshot from different chapters of his life, strung together with a quiet sense of reflection. Montijo doesn’t just look back—he paints a vivid picture of a man who’s lived fully, embracing the passage of time with a calm acceptance.
There’s no sense of regret here, just an understanding that everything, eventually, fades. It’s an album steeped in a kind of beauty that’s both bittersweet and cathartic. Montijo’s perspective, shaped by age and experience, adds a richness to his songwriting. He turns the everyday moments—those seemingly small, mundane fragments of life—into something sacred.
Whether he’s singing about small-town milestones, the subtle joys of raising a family, or the endless warmth of a summer evening, his wisdom seeps through each lyric. Standout tracks like “Lost Art,” “Big Night,” and “Horse Named Left” encapsulate the album’s sincerity and heart.
It’s a deeply felt project, one that lingers long after the final notes fade. If you’re looking for something that cuts to the core, If I Get To Heaven is an album well worth your time.
