CliffSongs 4 You

Okay, I got a brand new song for folks to listen to.  I want to thank those who have commented and or voted on “Right Now”.  I so appreciate all the feedback.  It’s great fun learning what you’re thinking.  You can see the voting results at Right Now Results .  If this is your first time to my site, you can vote on which version of “Right Now” is better at Vote on Right Now.  Now, on to the new song:

I was freakin’ out about getting older.  Especially after visiting my mom.  Actually, my mom inspired this song. She’s in her 70’s.  One day said to me, “I can’t believe over 70 years have gone by.  Feels like a minute.”  Gave me the jitters thinking about it.  Thus, this song was born.

It’s funny how many of my songs have been inspired by my upset as a way of calming myself down.  This song is no exception.  The style is a little different from what you might be used to from me.  I got a little edgy here.  It was really fun to record.  My wife, Kat, and I did the background vocals and my buddy, Don, played the harmonica.  Listen here at Feels Like A Minute.  You’ll be helping me decide whether this goes on the next CD or not.  Listen, Vote and Enjoy!

This was the first inspirational song I’d written in over 20 years. I’d just started going to church, felt inspired to write something to cheer myself up. I still remember the first time the church band played it. Everyone leaped out of their chairs. Definitely inspired me to write more along these same lines. The most important thing to me was to keep anything I wrote real to my experience.

So, in remixing this one: I switched out the drum machine for real drums, got rid of the strings and beefed up the acoustic guitar and piano. Listen to both and vote here :Vote on Right Now. After you vote you’ll get to download the new version for FREE.

I hope you’ll take the time to come back here to comment as well. I look forward to reading what you have to say.
