1)Jason Cassidy, a country singer with the album 'My Redemption'.
2)Jason Cassidy, who created the album 'Winter Coat'. He's also the Jason Cassidy on this page.
Jason Cassidy rose to some prominence in the bar music scene of central Pennsylvania with his sweaty, frenetic live shows featuring eclectic covers, folky originals and a fair smattering of traditional Irish drinking songs.
Jason later went on to form LOVEquake, a staple band on the Penn State bar scene from 2009 till their inevitable implosion in 2011.
Cassidy's albums are a pastiche of originals and traditional folk songs, marrying some chunky acoustic guitar with wry lyrics and a voice that's more strident than anything. Influences like Tom Waits, Johnny Cash, and Van Morrison are evident but not overpowering.
What If
Jason Cassidy Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And you can't take the lies anymore
But baby before you walk out the door
I won't make you cry, make you cry anymore
What I'm right, what I'm really gonna love you all my life
What if a brand new me is standing here tonight
Would you take my hand and give me one more chance
Baby this ain't just the same old sad love song
And I just wanna hold you all night long
Oh baby, what if I'm right and you're wrong
My jealousy is no longer
This time I'm much stronger
Than the man I used to be
Don't turn your back on me
I just wanna kiss your face
I swear I've changed my ways
Oh baby, please please stay
What I'm right, what I'm really gonna love you all my life
What if a brand new me is standing here tonight
Would you take my hand and give me one more chance
What if you're wrong
Baby this ain't just the same old sad love song
And I just wanna hold you all night long
Oh baby, what if I'm right and you're wrong
Oh baby please be wrong
The lyrics of Jason Cassidy's song "What If" speak to a man who realizes he has made mistakes in his relationship, and is now begging for one more chance with his partner. The introductory lines suggest that the partner has heard all kinds of apologies and promises from the man before, and has grown tired of it all. However, the man is pleading with the partner to stay and give him one more chance. He declares that he won't make the partner cry anymore, and promises to love them all his life.
The chorus of the song emphasizes on the possibility of a new beginning, with the man questioning what if he has truly changed, and what if his partner is wrong to give up on him. He proposes the idea of a "brand new him" standing right there with her, begging for forgiveness and hoping to start over. The bridge of the song sees the man trying to convince his partner that this time he is different, that he has overcome his jealousy, and that he just wants to kiss her face and hold her all night long. The song concludes with the plea for the partner to be wrong, to give him another chance to love her in a way that he wasn't able to before.

This was my song when me and boyfriend of 4 years broke up. I listened to it every night. We got back together and have been together ever since. We have two beautiful children together. The "what if" happens sometimes. Beautiful song!
