Would you be interested in becoming a supporter of Chase’s writing, music, and other productions? Join the Friends Club, and in return, you’ll receive all of Chase’s albums, new members-only songs every month, opportunities to meet Chase and discuss music, art, and life with him and other likeminded music lovers, and much more!

Miraculously, one of the shortest “story behind the song” episodes yet covers not one, not two, but THREE of my Friends Club singles: the worship song “Darkest of Days,” the upbeat alternative song “Sing For Me,” and the deeply conceptual and proggy “The Decay.” I discuss the writing process, the music, and the lyrics for each of these songs, which can be heard at this Soundcloud link, meanwhile a considerably more in-depth explanation of the inspiration and meaning behind “Sing For Me” can be heard on the most recent episode of the Renew the Arts Podcast.
