Creators of every stripe are influenced by others who labor in the same field of creativity. Acknowledgements of this truism include the time when the back of an album cover might list the artists whose specific songs and style had influenced the recordings on that album. Songwriters are no exception. Evolutionary song ideas spring to life merely by the listening. Such was the case here. This month’s featured song is “The Gift,” which lyrically is a corollary to a great recent song about the relationship between stepfathers and stepsons.
“The Gift,” featuring Nashville vocalist Katie Marrs, is about how great it feels for a single mom to finally meet a man who loves and respects her and her children. Truly, it is a “gift.” For licensing information, please contact the publisher, Solid Sterling Music, by emailing don@solidsterlingmusic.com or by calling or texting 832.444.4848.
