Corey Lennox - Trade the World (Official Audio)

If I can be candid with you, I've been pursuing my music career for well over a decade at this point. And to be honest, I may never get where I want to go.
It would be really easy for me to say "I don't need success, fame, or money" after I had achieved it someday. It would ring hollow and no one would take me seriously.
However, as someone who has definitely not "made it" by any stretch of the imagination, I can confidently say that if I never do... that's okay.
My heart is completely at peace with that. I love making music, and if it's just for the handful of people who resonate with it, then that's great!
Also, there are things that are way more important than any of those "metrics of success" we're constantly chasing.
I believe serving God, being the best dad and husband I can be, and enriching others' lives through my piano lessons and my original music are all way more important than any amount of fame or fortune that I could try to amass for myself.
Would I love my music to reach millions of people? Of course! And I'm always working to try to get myself out there and connect more people. But again, if that's not God's plan for me I am completely okay with it.
I think we're so focused on gaining the world, that we forget to nurture the things that are important enough that we'd trade the world for them.
And that's what this is about. It's a very emotional ballad, starting with just piano and voice, and then building to an epic crescendo towards the end with a myriad of layers... strings, glockenspiel, synth, and more.
Hope you love it ✌🏻

Thank you for being candid. What you shared will help others reflect on where they are musically. It certainly gave me something to reflect on, and a sense of peace. I have played piano since I was 9 all by heart, a gift from God. I'm 7 months sober from alcohol after 35 years. My playing, the creativity, the beauty drowned in the liquid of it all. But God did not fail me, and led me back to him. Where my gift goes from here is all up to him. Your music and talent speaks measures to me. Thank you. Best to you and your family on your journey. 🙏

Wow that's an amazing story Richard! That's awesome that you're 7 months sober and getting back to what's important. I love hearing that. God bless you and keep that music alive!

Right in the heart and soul. Thank you ❤

Great song man! The lyrics really hit home re: what is important. This is something that I've struggled with. It seems like there is such an unspoken burden/ expectancy on music school grads to blow up (or it could just be in my head). This song was a much needed healing balm. Keep up the good work.

I think it comes from our own selves. I put so much pressure on myself to meet certain benchmarks I’m not even close to hitting 😅 but I do think we need to remember what’s really important, the things numbers can’t define. So glad you liked it!

Nice!!! This sound would be so perfect with a little beat...

[@CoreyLennox]

I hear ya… You can definitely feel that “pulse” beneath it, right? I opted to stick more acoustic and orchestral this time around, but I’ve got a few piano songs coming up with more of a beat as well!!
