Clayton Hackett - Believe ("... musical gem waiting to be discovered by the larger public...")




Just over a year ago, Clayton Hackett released a Christian Contemporary Music (CCM) track called Believe. Last November Clayton released his second song called Move On. While listening to "Believe", enjoying the quality of the music and the lyrics, we were researching Clayton when it struck us that Clayton is quite new. His songs are a musical gem that is waiting to be discovered by the larger public. So to many of our followers, this is going to be a new discovery.
We looked closely at Clayton's Facebook page and have the impression that Clayton is currently around 17/18 years old. Keep that in mind when you listen to Believe... and I trust that you will agree that Clayton is a high potential young musician.

After playing drums for 9 years, Clayton Hackett started producing music at the age of 14. Many years of playing around went by and his love for composing and producing music grew into a full blown commitment to offer the world inspiration and encouragement for any season in life! Clayton believes that no one should be alone in this world. He believes that isolation is the plan of the enemy and he wants his music to be a place where people can relate and be encouraged no matter where they are at.

The world is full of people looking for ways and people to express themselves to and with. Clayton explains music for him as an amazing gift from God. He describes it as a place where he can express how he feels in any season of life. Whether he’s in a place of discouragement or overwhelming excitement he says his passion is to convert those feelings into lyrics and melodies. His hope is that anyone who listens to his music can relate to him and realize that they are not the only ones going through what there going through. Clayton has released two songs called Believe and Move On. With only two songs released so far, he has high hopes for this year. He is excited for the amazing music God will bring this year in 2020!

"Heaven Country" by Jensen & Company: Where Faith Meets Fiddles

Jensen & Company's 'Heaven Country' features Heidi Jensen North. It's a song that bursts with an infectious Texas swing energy, with steel guitars, fiddles, and washboard rhythms that pull you into the vibe. Beneath this melodic energy is a message with a promise: heaven isn't just a destination, it's a homeland where every tear is wiped away!  Can you imagine streets where lions walk with lambs, hunger vanishes, and divisions dissolve into unity? What a contrast compared with today's world! One of the lines that stands out: "There's no divide - there's just one side // The Son is shining every day."  What if we were to start living today as citizens of that eternal country? What's stopping us? The song challenges us: "All the love that you've acquired here - it's your money // Be sure to fill your account." It's a call to invest in what truly lasts. You've never seen its glory, never heard its songs - but...

'Lonely Dirt Road' by Dax: A Journey to Solitude and God

Dax's 'Lonely Dirt Road' is a conversation that Dax has with himself and God. Dax shares his journey of turning mental health walks into healing solitary drives. As you listen, you can almost feel the cruise, where it's just you, your thoughts, and God.  The chorus is so relatable: 'When I need space, that's where I go, a place to escape that nobody knows.' What do you do when life's pressures stack high? Do you also have a space where you can let go? That lonely dirt road that Dax sings about symbolizes solitude, but it is also an incredible opportunity for connecting with God.  Dax's honesty is raw and relatable. 'I didn't want my family to see me cry… dealing with the pressure of trying to provide.' There are times when we all put on a smile to hide how challenging situations may be. Like his father, Dax says that he finds peace on this lonely road, where challenges become opportunities to grow. This shows the core of our faith: that...

"Jesus Is His Name" by Aaron Goodhew: The Name That Changes Everything

“Jesus Is His Name” by Aaron Goodhew is a song written as a Christ-centred declaration of who God is and what He has done. The song begins by asking, “Who designed creation and called it into being?” and quickly answers by pointing our eyes “high above the heavens” and leading us to the very place “where he rests his feet.” In other words, this is worship from creation to restoration. Each verse walks through different parts of Christ’s work: parting waters, calming storms, healing lepers, restoring outcasts, setting captives free. The chorus invites the church to confess together: "He is the Lord God // Lifted up // Mighty to be praised // Sovereign King of kings // Name above all names." But most of all, He is the personal Savior “The one who paid our ransom // The one who saved a wretch like me.” The bridge crowns this declaration, calling Jesus “wonderful counsellor, mighty king and friend,” the Lion and the Lamb whose glory we cannot fully comprehend. A declaration...
