Orange Country singer-songwriter John Mapes released a new song today. “Grand Scheme of Things”, written around the themes of strength in unity and the power of creating impact in one’s own ways, is a poetic, tuneful song that exhibits the musician’s knack for writing meaningful and inspiring gems.
“‘Grand Scheme of Things’ is an inspirational song that is much needed today,” says Mapes of the track. “It’s hard to feel like any of us alone can make much of a difference in this world, but ‘Together we can be the biggest wave you’ve ever seen.'”
Mapes, who is a pretty established musician, has just returned from a 15-year hiatus. His acoustic EP Everyday Is a Battle was released back in May, which he most recently followed up with a track called “Running In Circles”.
The one-man band is now gearing up for his yet-unnamed second material, which will also feature his latest release.

Sam is a mediocre artist, musician, and the founder and editor in chief of UNXIGNED. He is a Juris Doctor who leads an excitingly boring life in the confines of his room juggling studies with passion and dreams. He is terrible at finding balance but gets by anyhow. He wants you to follow his artist pages and channels for when he decides to up his game. Pretty open for collabs and will mix your would-be hit song for cheap.
