Search - Chad Hollister :: Life

Fresh off the road from a national 2001 tour, Chad hit the studio with producer John Alagia (Dave Matthews Band, Vertical Horizon, Ben Folds Five, John Mayer...) and together they created Chad's new album Life. This is the fourth album under Chad's belt and contains some of his most moving work yet. The album's title track takes you on a journey of the simple pleasures of life and of every day reality. It echoes the age-old Zen message of living fully--"Treat the world the way you want to be treated, seize the day like you are needed. Walk through the grass just after it?s been cut?"--and crescendos in a powerful chorus. "Vineyard" tells a beautiful story, in its acoustic simplicity, about a vacation romance --rendered with a strong hook -- sure to catch the heart of any and all who have fallen in love during a summer at the shore. "Laugh" is a pure and infectious tune, illustrating Chad?s positive outlook and easy-going nature, that impels the listener, when life throw?s you curves, to just "laugh about it?" " Jesus, Bon Jovi and Tarzan" is a clever twist and turn of lyric about love, and the bridge will definitely capture you. "Dream Until You Fade" is a sublimely ironic melody, filled with hypnotic harmonizing, lush guitar, and, after sampling its lullaby, you too ca! n fade until you dream. "Keep On, Keeping On" is funky and self-expressive, spiced with trombone and bongos, and sings aloud about just what this artist plans to do!
