    ABOUT:
    We all have times we feel lost and can’t see the path before us. Chris Chickering is a singer-songwriter/producer whose songs shine a light on that path through messages of hope, healing and empowerment. Since 2012 he has recorded six studio albums: Shine (2012), Living in the Now (2013), The Resurrection of Me (2014), The Better Side (2015), Regeneration (2015), and The Hero’s Journey (fall, 2017).

    Fueled by a desire to empower himself and others, Chris has always found music to be a refuge for guidance and inspiration, especially during his most challenging times. Growing up in San Francisco, Chris was influenced by artists like Cat Stevens, Neil Young, Train and The Rolling Stones, and moved by the humanitarian efforts of singer-songwriter Harry Chapin, to create his own unique message-driven music.

    PERSONAL STATEMENT:
    Music is my oldest friend, the one I could always count on to soothe my spirit and deliver guidance, especially during the hard times.

    As a kid, I remember listening intently to the lyrics of great singer-songwriters like Cat Stevens, Neil Young, Jim Croce and Harry Chapin, and to bands like The Rolling Stones, The Who, The Doors and The Beatles, feeling peace and calm.

    As a young man, trying to find my way in the world, I gravitated toward personal-growth books, programs and seminars to help answer the question,“Why am I here?”

    BIO CONTINUED:
    Great music starts with great songs. In the fall of 2012 Chris Chickering and three time Emmy-winning, Grammy-nominated songwriter Greg Barnhill (“Walkaway Joe,” “House of Love”), discovered their shared passion for lifting people’s spirits through music. Since then they have co-written over one hundred songs and joined forces on five studio albums.

    “MY MISSION IS TO UNITE AND HEAL HEARTS THROUGH MUSIC.”

about

Chris Chickering's fresh rendition of the Cat Stevens classic.

lyrics

Words and Music by Cat Stevens

It's not time to make a change
Just relax, take it easy
You're still young, that's your fault
There's so much you have to know
Find a girl, settle down
If you want you can marry
Look at me, I am old but I'm happy

I was once like you are now, and I know that it's not easy
To be calm when you've found something going on
So take your time, think a lot
Think of everything you've got
For you will still be here tomorrow, but your dreams may not

How can I try to explain?
When I do he turns away again
It's always been the same, same old story
From the moment I could talk I was ordered to listen
Now there's a way and I know that I have to go away
I know I have to go

It's not time to make a change
Just sit down, take it slowly
You're still young, that's your fault
There's so much you have to go through
Find a girl, settle down
If you want you can marry
Look at me, I am old but I'm happy

All the times that I cried, keepin’ all the things I knew inside
It's hard, but it's harder to ignore it
If they were right, I'd agree, but it's them they know not me
Now there's a way and I know that I have to go away
I know I have to go
