A World In Need
Today's Treasure #12
In my iTunes list of highest played songs, Clay's songs are naturally close to the top, even though I have over ten gigs of music to choose from. But the top spot of this non-Christian's list belongs to Clay's rendition of My Grown Up Christmas List on Good Morning America. I won't say how many times it has been played, let's just say it rhymes with matey-something.
If you watch this, I think you will see why. Most people know Clay for the glory notes and Broadway style belting he did on his American Idol run. This shows another facet of his musical diamond. Here, Clay cooks with his frying pan of talent instead of hitting you over the head with it. More purple-prosily, he curls his voice around the notes and infuses each one with so much feeling that you can almost touch it. Somehow, this quiet, emotionally brimming interpretation resounds deeper for me than anything else he's sung. It's the most comforting piece of Clay music I have.
Non-hardcore Clay fans - I dare you to only watch this once.
