Tim Chaisson "Animal" - 'SongBird Find' 4-14-15

Buy Tim Chaisson 'Lost In Light' on iTunes

If you've been listening to The SongBird Project on the WPNR airwaves, you've noticed my 'SongBird Finds,' in which I spotlight an artist per show.  At WPNR, we get a LOT of music submissions.  Every once in a while, an album will come across my desk that just stops me in my tracks.  I introduced an artist a few shows back and have gotten a great response to debuting his music on our airwaves - Tim Chaisson is an awesome Canadian artist that is bound to make a Nashville name for himself.  While listening to his eclectic album, which can be classified as Country/Alternative/Pop/It-Doesn't-Matter-Because-It's-That-Good, I stumbled across a few tracks that are just incredible.  The emotional, vulnerable, and in-your-face honest tune, "Animal" is a unique concept and reminiscent of how emotionally heavy tracks hallmark careers and propel some artists to new heights.  If I could place a bet on Tim Chaisson, this song could put him at the forefront of the Nashville scene.  Be sure to pick up a copy on iTunes and check out the video below.
Key Tracks:  "Crushed", "I Can't Live Without You", "Animal", "All Those Words"

"Till You Love Me"

What would like be like without iPhones, iPods, iPads & Macs?  Scary.  Well, if it wasn't for shuffle, I would've forgotten about this incredible, iconic Reba song.

1990s country is country. In my opinion, regardless of being a 90s child, some of the best music was in this decade. Come on everything from the breakout of Martina McBride, Shania Twain, Britney Spears, Spice Girls...yeah, I went there. Well, those are the 90s. And while most people were just beginning their careers, Reba was putting out some of the highlight songs of her career.

Everything from the structure of this song, the production, her vocals. Perfect. Can we go back to the 90s already?!

Song: "Till You Love Me"

I sent you roses, I warned you I would
Do all that I could to show you the way that I feel
Please, don't say, I'm wasting my time
I've got nothin' but time 
So I'll do all that I can to catch that ghost of a chance

The sunlight, the moonlight are beyond my control
And there are stars in the heavens that I'll never hold
But if dreams give you power then I'm strong enough to offer my heart
And never give up till you love me, till you love me

I looked in your eyes, so bright and so blue
And that's when I knew, that you could be mine
If good things come to those who will wait
Well, I guess I can wait if that's what I have to do
Oh, it's worth it for you

The sunlight, the moonlight are beyond my control
And there are stars in the Heavens that I'll never hold
But if dreams give you power, oh then I'm strong enough to offer my heart
And never give up till you love me, till you love me

Oh the sunlight and the moonlight are beyond my control
And there are stars in the Heavens, oh that I'll never hold
But if dreams give you power, oh then I'm strong enough to offer my heart
Oh and never give up till you love me, till you love me, till you love me

"Anyway," "Broken Wing," & "Independence Day"

As you can see, sometimes I go through these spurts where I feel the need to show the world how much I love music, hence, the reason I created this blog.  Anyways, I couldn't just stop at one Martina McBride video.  The first one is M & Lauren Alaina performing at the CMA Fest, if that doesn't give you chills wait until the last note and standing ovation for "Broken Wing."  I was sitting here clapping at the Mac, so not pointless.  The next video is the incredibly humbling speech, which made me love her that much more, that M made after the whole stadium gave her a standing ovation.  

Watching these has made me realize that I don't care how far I ever get on this crazy journey to become one of the women of country music.
