Free Music Review: Listen to This Alone in the Dark
Hit: 5 Stars
This album will deliver one hell of an emotional whop--if you choose to listen, and I mean carefully listen, to both the lyrics and the music. In interviews Clay has revealed that the theme of the album is what he has learned about himself and life over the past five years from both his private and professional experiences. Many Clay fans--myself included--have found our lives vastly enriched as we have cheered Clay on over these five years; we care about him a great deal, and we will certainly be reading particular significance into each song's meaning, as well as in the ordering of the songs in the album. However, Clay has also said that he expects that listeners--and that would also include those who know nothing at all of his history--will interpret and relate to the songs as they may apply to themselves. While you may not have been a young special education teacher who got thrown into the bizarre and often brutal world of pop music by virtue of (almost) winning a cheesy talent-contest show, you may have had a traumatic childhood that left you gun-shy in pursuing adult love relationships, you may have been confused as to the true nature of love and made some bad self-defeating mistakes because of that, you may have been in a situation where your character was very publicly and most unjustly slandered, you may have had something unbelievably awful happen to you and have asked why God did this to you, or you may have fallen into a deep depression and tried to talk yourself into getting up and moving forward to embrace life. But good miracles could have happened to you, too. You may have found love where you never expected to find it. This album is about faith and fear, but above all it is about the redemptive power of "real love" and the realization that indeed one does not just survive painful experiences but also, if one is fortunate, learns from them. I would hardly call this "lite pop music," would you?
May I suggest that you put your headphones on, sit alone in the dark with absolutely no other distractions, and listen to the album straight through. Consider the first song, "On My Way Here," as the end of the experience, or at least the "now," and move back in time as one song follows the next--all the way back to "Lover All Alone." Then listen to the album like this several more times, letting arise in your mind and heart what may. If something seems jarring--for example, does that old-fashioned crooner-type love song "There's Something about Us," speaking of "a perfectly perfect love," have somewhat of a mournful tone? What is that about? Consider that this may be deliberate, not a weakness on the part of the singer to connect to the song; look at the song in the context of the sentiments and the musical essence of the total album. I firmly believe that the musicianship, the production, and Clay's vocals and intonations on this album are all stunning and meaningful. Please don't let prejudice and misconceptions deprive you of fully enjoying and finally appreciating this very special album.
