Living in the Now
Chris Chickering’s 2nd studio album, “Living in the Now,” features 14 new, original tracks, and showcases stellar musicians who play for bands and artists you probably know. No matter who you are or where you are on your life’s journey, Chris’ universal songs are guaranteed to speak to you as if you are the only one listening.
“It was easy to find lots of songs to play off this terrific release. Chris has musical vision and has created a unique and unified album.” (“Living in the Now”)
– Ira Gordon, Program Director, 98.1 Radio Free Santa Fe, NM
“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
“I recommend Chris Chickering’s music as an instrumental part of the healing process. His beautiful, soothing voice and uplifting lyrics will be an inspiration and comfort for those in recovery.”
– Margie Ahern, M.Ed., Mindfulness Rational Therapist
“If you’re sick of all the popular music out there that focuses on things like sadness, anger, suicide, abusive relationships, drug addiction and meaningless sexual relations, you’ll find singer-songwriter Chris Chickering’s album Living in the Now to be a welcome change…Even those listeners who don’t pay a great deal of attention to lyrics will have their spirits raised by this album, as the sound on its own is enough to generate an atmosphere of happiness.”
– The Mindful Word Magazine

“The Resurrection of Me” Live… Here’s one more from my performance at the Beljanski Cancer Conference in Jacksonville, FL.

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

We are flowers in the spring
We are life
Ever-flowing
And these are the words that we will sing

We are real
We are open
To the destiny that’s ours to hold
This is a prayer for the love within us
This is a prayer to release our hearts
This is a prayer that we carry with us
This is a prayer for who we really are
We are here
We are present
In every moment that we breathe
We are peace
We are freedom and
This is a psalm for you and me, yea
