Then, I realised his a christian and the songs he wrote are all based on his relationship with GOd and his wife. Chris is truly an effective Agent of Common Grace for God in the "Pop Culture" . Writing Songs which relates to ppl so personally and help others’ to realised the existence of a God out there. Here’s a lil detail bout for all y’all out there:

ON HIS WIFE, DEANNA: "When we got married, I took on the two kids as my own. So, you know, she was saying that she was scared that I was sacrificing my dream by doing that, and that she was just really excited that I’m still gettin’ to live it — even though I took on the married life and the family early, that I’m still able to live my dream."
ON REJOINING HIS BAND: "If it was up to me — yes. But when it comes to doing contracts and being under a label, you know, it’s not always up to the artist. I’d love to work with those guys, but if not, they understand that it’s beyond my control."
THE BALD-HEAD-WITH-SIDEBURNS THING: "I think I started that look. I’ve been doing my sideburns like that for a couple of years now. It’s kind of a trademark."
| "I was told I could really sing when I was in 11th grade (I was 16), by my friend Robert. (I hope y’all have’nt been lying to me all these years). We had to write a song for class, so I forced myself to sing in front of him. I always enjoyed singing but never had the confidence that Robert gave me that day. We wrote a couple songs and I was hooked. I knew at that time, that’s what I wanted to do with my life. He taught me some guitar chords and I took off from there. I’ve been in several bands but have never experienced the chemistry that Absent Element share.
Though I’ve always enjoyed singing, I was never pushed until I was in a rock band. Therefore it took years to develop the strength and range it takes to deliver Absent Elements’ screaming sound. My song writing comes straight from the heart. I write about my relationship with God, my wife (who inspires most of my lyrics) and other life experiences. If it did’nt happen to me, I can’t effectively and honestly write about it. " - Chris Daughtry |
