Bye all, this was a lot of fun. Don't forget the repeat of Clay on Jimmy Kimmel tonight.

{waves}

Wonderful song, wonderful vocals! Can't wait to hear this one in person.

Heres my Broken Wings montage.....

So sorry I got behind. I had a phone call.

I lurve this song too.

Is the one with all the vid.clips from HOUSE?

DOOL - Days of our lives

OOOO DAH!!! (hits self in head) Thank You.

I can't believe I'm going to have to watch DOOL...both of those actors ended up on GH and I hated them both.

What is Dool??

THIS IS DEFINATELY MY FAVORITE ON THE CD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I can just see this song being used in a Disney movie now.

off topic..........

I have 1 teenager and 1 cat up for grabs....anyone interested??

I like this song but not a huge fan. I can see this being a wedding song.

AHHHH...I just love the instrumentation...I know some peopel feel there is just too much strings on this album...but they really used the strings in a very good way and not in a boring elevaotr music way either.

EEEEEEEEEE I love...the intensity of senses...and when he kinda slurs the words together...like he was a bit drunk heh...

I noticed that too, glad I am not the only one.

Ah, on the 4th listen I picked out something that highlights what doesn't thrill - that part that goes:

Did you really love the ones you said you loved? Think twice. And did you make a bit of difference in somebody else's life? Tell me, is there someone you can count on when you need a friend? Can you say i need a friend?

Dang, that's just too talky. It's like Bon Jovi got paid by each word he could put in a stanza...

It's funny how everyones taste are different. I love that part of the song.

IMO it makes you think.

I love the words to THESE OPEN ARMS!!!!

I am having a very hard time typing as my cat (whose name is Waldo by the way - named after you-know-who.... ) issitting in my lap and pawing the keyboard.

Suzie is god on it, but the duet doesn't really make the song special, so why bother?

Just ok for me. I often skip it.

That is too funny, I have a cat in my lap too, but her name isn't WALDO. Her name is NICKI from a Prince song. (Darlin Nicki......bad bad cat)

I also agree the song isn't my fav. and I often skip it too.

Hi Zanyforclay, how's it going?

EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE Because You Loved me is one of my favorites. This is why...

My OFC Blog

Finding Inclusion.

I sat in the car and cried. I was in a social situation and crying -- again.

Only this time I was crying not because I wanted to leave. I was crying because I wanted to stay.

I was at the Central Ohio Clay Fans CD release party and found myself experiencing inclusion as I never thought I would.

I was not being treated special. No pity. Just simple acceptance. I was in a group of people who simply let me be myself. I was treated no different. They even expected me to assist with preparations that day as if I could. So I did.

I never interacted so openly before with a group of people and never sat in a room with so many people feeling so little anxiety. I did apply some techniques to "prepare" for the party and yes some claymates supported me in doing so and thanks to their support I finally now know what its like to feel the meaning of true inclusion. It feel's kewl.

In the car on the way home. I put in Clays new CD and played one song over and over as I cried. I will always think of claymates when I listen to this song. The song was -- Because You Loved Me.

I'm everything I am because you loved me. I'm still listening to it -- over and over.

(((HUGS)))

Love your story Aspiegirl!! It brought tears to my eyes.

Thanks for sharing.

Why am I thinking Welsh instead of Irish?

I don't think of this as particularly high for Clay - if I'm understanding the terms correctly, Clay strikes me more as a lyric tenor than the baritenor - he really only does deep!voiced!Clay! as punctuation or emphasis...this sounds so effortless for him...

I agree KAndre'.....this song does seem so effortless for him. It just flows from those sweet lips.

I think it is soft, sexy and romantic.

Good night all, this has been a lot of fun. See you next week.

It has been awesome to share in listening to these songs with all of

you. thanks to Couch Tomato, dmclovesomc, ldyjocelyn, FearofH20,

Back at ya SilverAngel.................(waves bye)

Welcome back Zany...........just in time for LAA

Absolutely love love love this song. It stirs up many emotions!!!!!!!!!

The fact that Clay helped write it means a lot.

ATD.............really liked this when I first heard it at the JBT.

Not my favorite on the cd, but I love the clarity of Clay's voice and how each song builds and builds. I can picture him singing each one more forcefully in concert.

I agree zany!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I love the cd. Right now I am listening to the one I got today that I won from the Fox news contest. ( I got my 8 copies..LOL )

I think this whole cd is soft and relaxing. A nice change of pace. But I am still looking forward to his next cd being a faster more peppy one.
