Let's Be Fools

[Intro]
It’s funny how the past shapes you...
From the cracks... we grow.

[Verse 1]
​I grew up in a house with fists for doors,
While words like knives cut through the floors.
The fridge was empty but the silence full,
Love was a stranger that I couldn’t pull. (Damn)
​I carried shadows deep inside my pocket,
Walking round with a heart cracked like a locket.
Abandoned dreams on an empty bed,
Left me chasing ghosts inside of my head.

[Chorus  1]
But scars grow like roots in the ground,
They hold me up when the world spins around.
I’m flawed, I’m sturdy, I stand tall,
Just a broken boy who learned it all.

[Verse 2]
The echo of no one stayed by my side,
But I built a life where I could confide.
Look in the mirror, it don’t hide my story,
Each crack a chapter, and each flaw a glory. (Yeah, wear it proud)
​I came from nothing but I made it last,
Turning pain into power, moving past the past.
No more fists on the door, no more knives on the floor,
Just the peace that I found, yeah, I settled the score.

[Chorus 3]
Because scars grow like roots in the ground (Ground!)
They hold me up when the world spins around (Spinning around!)
I’m flawed, I’m sturdy, I stand tall (I stand tall!)
A broken boy who learned it all (I’ve learned it all!)

[Outro]
​(Yeah...)
(Learned it all.)
(Roots in the ground.)

I feel like there are 3 stages to the mourning process at the end of a relationship. Stage 1: sadness. Stage 2: anger. Stage 3: indifference. This song was written somewhere between Stage 1 and 2.

New Era

Did Something Change?

The Chattanooga, TN singer/songwriter/producer Chris Bloom holds a fluidity in genres from R&B and Hip-hop, to pop and acoustic influences with his three first singles, Learning Curve, Petals and Fast. Born Christopher Burkich, he grew up in a household where all types of music were celebrated. This allowed him to be a comfortable writer with a distinct voice while being able to easily change direction stylistically at any given point in his music. Just turning 21 years old, Bloom is a complete musical artist: a highly expressive singer with a humble voice. His sweet vocal crooning provides a timeless sound that resonates across ages and demographics. 

Bloom also produced and featured on a record by Scotty Sire in 2018, “Cut Me Out”, which has over a 1/2 million streams, and is featuring on Sire's sold out 11 city / 13 show national concert tour -- Ruin Your Party. Bloom's "Questions and Confessions" EP, mostly self-produced and written by Bloom, has the release date of Feb. 1, 2019 -- night 1 of the Ruin Your Party Tour. 

He is managed by Brandon Aristotle @ Bx2 Entertainment.

I've Been Loving Too Long

Last year I found out my Mum’s now 4th fight with cancer will be her last. This is a poem I wrote at the time to express what she means to me and how I felt about the reality of losing her - a tribute to an incredibly resilient, inspiring and beautiful woman. It’s the most difficult track I’ve ever had to record. It samples ‘Tere Bin’ by Atif Aslam.
