Riley Clemmons - Headspace - Live (CCM)


Riley Clemmons has released a Christian Contemporary Music (CCM) track called Headspace - Live.

You could see that something was happening when Riley Clemmons’ debut dropped three years ago. The impressive “Broken Prayers” proved it had a deep resonance with fans, and that its message of hope wasn’t falling on deaf ears. The Nashville native, who has wanted to be a musician since her childhood days and has a history of community theater work, met her manager in her early teens - writing and performing have been goals for a long time. Now 21, Clemmons is fulfilling those dreams. Just released on Friday, her second album ‘Godsend’ will take her even farther. The singer’s pop music smarts are enhanced by a production sense that’s dreamy, immediate, and radio-friendly. Deeply appreciated in the realm of Christian music, she’s the youngest person to ever be nominated in the K-LOVE Awards (“Female Artist of the Year” - 2021) and often makes a dent on Billboard’s Contemporary Christian chart. She has said that the essence of her recent “Keep On Hoping” is “finding grace in the act of forgiveness” and “finding joy in something as simple as the gift of a sunrise.” There’s a grand sweep to these new tracks, and their power becomes even more obvious in the two performances Clemmons delivered in the Vevo studio. “Headspace” suggests that her latest work should be embraced by a larger pop audience who embraces strong craft and subtle passion. Her talent as both writer and performer is right upfront. Stay close - more coming. 

By the way, we will be sharing the CEDM version of this song with you tomorrow... so watch this space!


LYRICS 
You can knock on the door but I’m not gonna let you in
You can play all your games but I’m not gonna let you win (again)
You can step to me with all your negativity
Don’t you know I’m just so over you under my skin
 
And this time it’s not even anger
I think we’re just better as strangers
Don’t try the locks ‘cause I changed ‘em
 
You can’t have my head space
Won’t let you in my safe place
You can say what you want, you can do what you like
You can throw another stone, but you’re never gonna see my heart break
Cause you can’t have my head space
 
For the first time I ain’t gonna give you a second thought
‘Cause your talk is so cheap that the pain isn’t worth the cost
So do your worst to me but you’ll never get the best of me
Cause I know who I am, don’t tell me what I’m not
 
Now I like the way I feel brand new
Matter of fact I should thank you
I’m stronger for what you put me through
 
1-2-3-4, don’t you come round here no more
5-6-7-8, you can try but it’s too late
8-7-6-5, finally got you off my mind
4-3-2-1, I’m done

"Lord You Are So Awesome" by Mario Tucker: Turning Everyday Moments into Praise

“Lord You Are So Awesome” by Mario Tucker is a reminder that worship doesn’t have to be complicated in order to be powerful. The song is based on the fact that what matters the most is that God’s greatness deserves our constant praise. Our praise doesn't have to meet any quality standards for it to be pleasing to God. So, ask yourself... when was the last time that you took a moment to say, “Lord you are so awesome / Lord you are so great / Your name is above the Heavens”? This song invites you to be constantly aware of God’s greatness, and that includes awareness outside the walls of church, like during car rides, your quiet time, and those precious triumphs in life. It's an awareness that leads to response. “So let’s praise and magnify your name.” Praise is not a matter of passively observing and responding... it’s a call to turn your admiration into active devotion. Think about it for a moment: what would change in your life if praise became your first reaction instead of ...

"Repentance (20th Anniversary Edition)" by Thoughts and Notions: Remembering Christ’s Love Through Repentance

Thoughts And Notions released a 20th Anniversary Edition of their song "Repentance," emphasizing that the weight and purpose of this message is still very relevant to us today.  The song was originally inspired by The Passion of the Christ and shaped by the songwriter's memory of seeing a lone cross high above the Swiss Alps. The key message is less about performance and more about our response. It places us at the foot of the cross. When you listen to the lyrics, you'll notice that it is a prayer in song form, and one that looks straight at Christ's suffering. It asks you to reflect on the question: "what will you do with such love?"   The lyrics begin with awe: "I looked at your bloodied face" and "you laid down your life." From there, the lyrics move into an honest confession. "God, how I've been such a fool" isn't despair or an excuse to stay trapped in guilt. It is the first step toward His grace, a journey o...

"At The Feet (Midnight)" by Action Worship: Surrender and Rest

(by Jasper Tan) After making a review of Action Worship's song "All Praise (Dawn)" early this year (which, by the way, moved me so much), Action Worship is here once more with a beautiful follow-up single called "At The Feet (Midnight)." Continuing their songwriting sessions at a beach house retreat, "At The Feet" is a powerful and once more immersive Christian contemporary worship song that captures a raw and intimate atmosphere of worship. Like their other previously released songs, the track is anchored in a "Beach House" setting, leaning on a warm, organic, and slightly lo-fi feel as compared to the more traditional stadium worship recordings of other Worship songs. This makes the song feel more like a shared spiritual experience rather than a polished studio recording. This has always been Action Worship's greatest strength with their songs. And this creative process has definitely defined the signature sound of the Action Worship te...
