New Music - Christopher Dallman - Subterranean

Christopher Dallman just released a song from his upcoming EP. The song is Subterranean, and it is just beautiful. I have been a fan of Christopher's since I purchased his 2003 CD, Race The Light. I was a little late to that game, only picking it up about 2 years ago, but have been patiently waiting for new music, and lately, Dallman has been prolific.

Here are the brilliant lyrics to Subterranean.

written by Christopher Dallman

You can barely see me when the sky goes black
When the sky goes black
But a wind it blew, it drew a line
From your heart to mine
And my dark went slack

Underground I go
I could be so much more than this, I know
But instead I disregard this oxygen
Go subterranean
I go subterranean

I try to leave some kind of map
Some sort of trail
To let my lovers come, come follow me
They follow me and fail
Underground I go
I could be so much more than this, I know
But instead I disregard this oxygen
Go subterranean
I go subterranean

The first time that I fall
I could be down the road
Next, I’ve lost it all
I could have been something, oh!
Keep me on the line
You keep me above the ground
You can barely see me when the sky goes black
When the sky goes black
But a wind it blew, it drew a line
From your heart to mine
And I ain’t going back

Also, I noticed that his first CD, Race The Light, is on sale at CD Baby. For just $5, you can get an MP3 download of the album. All I can say is I bought it at regular price, and it was worth way more than that! Click here if interested.

New Purchase - Christopher Dallman - Anthem

Christopher Dallman has released Anthem, a song for marriage equality, this afternoon. This is an issue near and dear to Christopher's [and my own] heart, as Christopher and his boyfriend would dearly love to be married, but the passage last year of Prop 8 pretty much prevents them from sharing their love as a joyous expression. But it also leaves a residual that is bitter to taste. I mean, can over half the population truly believe it is not disrespectful of the institution that Elizabeth Taylor could have 8 marriages and King Henry VIII can have six [some of whom he beheaded to avoid a messy divorce], but gay taxpayers, coworkers and family members are told they can't marry the person they love because that would destroy the institution as we know it? Christopher sings, 'Brother of mine, it's just a matter of time.' His words ring true to me.

The single is available at Bandcamp, and you can pay what you would like [there is a $2 minimum for purchases]. At iTunes, you'd be paying $1.98, without the bonus of knowing half the proceeds from Anthem will be going to Human Rights Campaign for the battle for marriage equality.



Christopher is excited about this and upcoming projects. "If you like this song, please spread it around! Play it for your friends, email it, tweet it, share it on your Facebook page! As an independent musician, I rely on your support!" The B-side for Anthem is the song from the video which premiered recently, Over My Head, You can find Christopher Dallman on the web at his website, on Twitter, and the merchandise space.
