[@HeathSanders]

Hey everybody! Thank y’all for all the compliments as well as the criticism, every artist needs plenty of both. The song is titled “Bloodline” and was co-written by me and my friend Jamie Jones out of central Arkansas. For those of you interested, you can follow my journey on Instagram, Facebook and KZbin at Heath Sanders Music if you’d like to stay updated on our progress. We are currently in studio and the acoustic version of Bloodline will be out soon, hopefully followed in the near future by a full band EP. Thank you all for your love and support. Means the world to this ole boy.

I am one of those people that likes country, pop, rock, indie and just whatever sounds good to my ears. I do agree that some of the new country music stars go too far the other way and I don't understand why they still label themselves country when they clearly are not.

Bloodine Lyrics (Noted by me, I couldn't find them online.): He likes his, coffee black first thing in the morning A cup or two usually, gets him going He puts on his boots and cranks up, that old '79 Weather man says there's a storm warnin' Well he pulls down his hat and keeps his wheels'a rollin' Chaising the dreams of a back forty kind of life Well his claim to fame is a last name On a dead end county road sign He's got, callused hands and a callused heart But that suits him just fine Makin it day to day, working his life away Tryin'a find a little piece of mind Ooooah, but that's his bloodline There's a chair on a poorch that his gran-daddy left him Where he sits and ponders on, when things were different When a man could keep what he earned with a little help from above It's getting harder to make ends meat in the middle Selling his life away, little by little But something inside him says "boy you don't ever give up" 'Cause his claim to fame is a last name On a dead end county road sign Yeah he's a, dying breed and every day it seems He's only runnin' out of time Makin it, day to day, working his life away Tryin'a find a little piece of mind Ooooah, but that's his bloodline Yeah it gets kinda tough sometimes around that blue collar Holden onto his dreams and chaising down another dollar But his claim to fame is a last name On a dead end county road sign And when he's dead and gone, he's gotta carry on And the wounds he's gotta leave behind Making it day to day, working his life away Tryin'a find a little piece of mind Ooooah, but that's his bloodline Till it's carved on a stone all alone beneath the Georgia pines That's his bloodline. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Since I couldn't find the lyrics online when I searched for them, I decided to break down the song to the best of my ability and note them. I'm from Arkansas, so usually I'm pretty good when it comes to finding out exactly what's been said in an accent such as his. If anything is wrong let me know please!

[@frank5722]

A great singer in my opinion and this is a very good, heart written song which are so needed. Just picked up on him & have greatly enjoyed. When he is able to orchestrate, prononciate and cut loose at will with that voice...... wow, should be quite interesting and even more entertaining. What potentials there are for certain. To me there's a certain stretch I hear that is appealing almost in a commanding manner. Nice! I hope you go & give it your best shot period. Had a great introduction which should assist and can build on the current following. No matter how it turns out, go for it 110%. No looking back and keeeeep knocking with a thick skinned humble mindset. Could come down to willingness of sacrifice, once again, go for it as the business contacts advised be brave., They are straight shooters, each with preference and perception. Once advised as a writer years ago and didn't go. Much younger then, starting a young family and no support other than a dream and a bit of a gift. Unfortunately had an initial (very) tough learning experience from one song, of a small group sent after an offer was extended. This assisted me when listening to doubters. Still regret not going to a degree and may always. Wrote to me and told me not to make the mistake so many too often make and still did, I made a choice and got in my own way. Listened to some around me telling me to go different ways all though none of them had any experience in such matters. Brilliantly insightful hindsight delivered straight to me, from me. Learned from that experience quite a bit. One can always write more which will continually elevate abilities. Get to know the ropes, rules & legalities. Keep working the craft, brand & relationships. Time/patience to work and learn, this alone can serve as a key contributor, i.e., having the ability to do so with patience, humility and flexibility. Go get it buddy with all you got in you and stick to your gut while either avoiding negativity or completely winning over any and all doubters. You are your in part, your a business now, learn to run it to the best of your abilities. Some optional opportunity avenues for writers/composers out there, but the opportunity to network with owners, peers and executives, having professionals to co/write work with, and to be able to commit to such an arena is very positive motion. Some states and certain footprints/scenes within, provide opportunities for earnings and some can be fruitful but most definitely, this path of opportunity is what you want to grab hold of. Wish nothing but the best for a blue-collar bllood line with a gift from above. May you have the courage and support to make your gift and dreams comes to light always. Hope this may also be of assistance to any that may benefit from such information. Shared knowledge is knowledge continually spreading.

Dude, I have no idea who you are & your review popped up in my feed. Your review of his lyrics are so spot on...excellent mate! Chris' lyrics connect with all of us poor, working, & middle class with seeing our jobs being shipped to the cheapest labor markets around the world over the last 30 years. We are not stupid & we continueously see our standards of living decline, our money being devalued & taxed to no end. And this new world is dividing us "old souls" over race & other nonsense by tribalizing & balkanizing us to hate each other when the MSM, DC, & the Uniparty (Dems & Reps) are the real enemy of the American people & the problem & they keep kicking us down distracting us from the real problems & issues plaguing our country.

[@frank5722]

Hi Candie, some things that help me out are; most importantly sing from stomach or diaphram ( took me a while to get use to this one & had to retrain myself a bit but like the sound better providing a bit more O2 capacity and range), vocal exercises daily, herbal lozenges for prior and on break or with honey (avoid mediacted ones as they can numb vocal chords/lining/tissue and cause damage from strain/pain not felt, heavy alcohol use could have same result) and or honey with splash of lemon juice (mixed thoughts on lemon juice use from me), on breaks I rest it a bit or stretch it a lil with quiet range runs. I had friend go thru surgery on his throat recently from singing and straining, alcohol excess and he swore by baking soda mixed in water also he used for heartburn. Created 2 noduals at some point and should've got checked out long before he did. He sounded great, with a rasp to his voice but will never sing again as result of surgery or never the same which resulted from years of over strain, non treatment and lack of rest when in pain, according to doc. Also, if our sound is not correctly set for vocals, that can be of issue. I usally turn up and trim down where needed a bit early in, check monitors and we test every output to make certain an instrument is not over top with dB cranking too much (doggone cow bells :-). I always use my mic/s because they recieve easy, clean & put out warm. Few more bills but worth it. Just thought this may help you for later on in sets. Sounds like you probably know these already but if you have any tips you can share as well, thanks in advance. Seperately last tip, hearing protection, noise reduction or vocal buds are most helpful, all are to help prevent loss and ringing in ears down the road..... my left ear is mostly effected a bit from not realizing sooner.

Frank wow, I wasn't expecting an answer like that! I'm impressed by you even more now! I'm glad to know that you do take precautions to keep that rasp in your voice a healthy way instead of use it until it runs dry, so to speak. I've been told that my voice sounds a lot like Emma Lou Harris, the way it kinda pops in and out. But the person that repeatedly told me that was a music person all his life and made sure to let me know that it was only a comparison because I definitely had my own distinct sound and it was very different but a good different! His words, not mine. See as I'm sure you know, young men's voices change, some once some 2 or 3 times and a girls sometimes once sometimes never. Well, mine has changed at least 4 times and the last one was in my late 20's! That's when the rasp and being able to control it and put in a little yoddle* in there came into play! Although, I try my best to follow the path God leads me on, my music will come full circle in his time and I must be patient. But, there is nothing like the feeling of God using you in the mighty way I'm about to describe! Imagine a packed house of over 1250 people, students, parents, adults worship and youth leaders. You take the stage after a short but heartfelt prayer, "God, I am but the vessel, use me for your kinhdom." I walk out and can't see any of the audience, the house lights are too bright, I have no idea the house is packed out! I signal for my music to begin after a peace washes over me from what I know can only be the Lord. As my first words begin, the whole place goes silent! I notice, but that's not what I'm here for, someone needs the message in my song, "Lord I Believe" by Krystal Lewis is what I sang. I finished my song with everything I had and was breathless and in awe of how crazy the crowd is acting even though i still can't see them! I find out later, I received a standing ovation and there was barely a dry eye in the house, and the message? It was heard, there were people who came down and accepted Christ as a result of God using the gift he gave me and my willingness to be his servant! That my friend, if nothing else musically significant ever happens in my life again, I have that to cling to as my reward! Praise Jesus! Thanks so much for answering my comment and I hope you can take some small something away from my story, for I was asked by the Lord to share it with you because there was something there you needed to hear and there would be others to read it that take away even more! I pray that your footsteps are blessed and I would love to keep in touch with how you are and where your music is going. If you like you can find me on Facebook under my name. Have a wonderful Night!
