“Living In The Now offers listeners in music and songwriting what sages and mystics were carving in stone and have been writing about for eons; essential messages of awakening. Chris is tuned into what we need now, with universal lyrics of empowerment, backed by a studio band that is powerful and tight in all of the compositions.”
– Alan Hutner, Host and Co-producer of Transitions Radio Magazine“Living in the Now has some of the best songwriting of our generation. Reminds me of the great American singer songwriters (Neil Young, Cat Stevens, etc..) with a modern twist. The lyrics dive into modern day topics around self actualization. Overall refreshing entertainment, enlighten and inspirational—a rare find!
– Amazon.com reviewer“I had no problem finding lots of cuts to play off this terrific release. Chris has musical vision and has created a unique and unified album.” (Album: “Living in the Now” [Oct, 2013])
– Ira Gordon, Program Director, 98.1 Radio Free Santa Fe, NM

Found my way all the way to the bottom
Lost everything I thought that I could lose
No hopin’, give a damn, broken
Three-time loser with a subway token
Walkin’ like a dead man in my shoes
But I swear I’ll find a way to turn it all around
‘Cause there’s nothin’ strong enough to keep my spirit down
Took a left, took a right
Sucker-punched by the fist of life, but I
Found on a way to get on my feet again
A little shaky from the blows
But I’ll be damned if it takes my soul, ‘cause I
Been down
But you’ll see
This is gonna be
The resurrection of me yea, yea, yea
The resurrection of me yea, yea, yea
Cold-jaded, street-hated
Called a punk and a bum berated
Never thought I’d be the one to lose my way
But it’s alright, ‘cause I know now
Got another chance to pick it up somehow
So brother won’t you hear me when I say
I got a black-eyed soul but I still got a lotta heart
See it’s never too late to find a new place to start
Took a left, took a right
Sucker-punched by the fist of life, but I
Found a way to get on my feet again
A little shaky from the blows
But I’ll be damned if it takes my soul, ‘cause I
Been down
But you’ll see
This is gonna be
The resurrection of me yea, yea, yea
The resurrection of me yea, yea, yea
And I know they’ll always be the ones who cast their doubts
After all that I’ve been through
Nothin’s gonna hurt me now
Took a left, took a right
Sucker-punched by the fist of life, but I
Found a way to get on my feet again
A little shaky from the blows
But I’ll be damned if it takes my soul, ‘cause I
Been down
But you’ll see
This is gonna be
The resurrection of me yea, yea, yea
The resurrection of me yea, yea
