Stan's Songs

Contemporary Christian music (CCM), also known as Christian pop, and occasionally inspirational music, is a genre of modern popular music, and an aspect of Christian media, which is lyrically focused on matters related to the Christian faith and stylistically rooted in Christian music. Originating in the United States, it was formed by those affected by the 1960s Jesus movement revival who began to express themselves in other styles of popular music, beyond the church music of hymns, gospel and Southern gospel music that was prevalent in the church at the time. Initially referred to as Jesus music, today, the term is typically used to refer to pop, but also includes rock, alternative rock, hip hop, metal, contemporary worship, punk, hardcore punk, Latin, electronic dance music, R&B-influenced gospel, and country styles.

After originating in the US, it has since become a globally recognized style of popular music. It has representation on several music charts, including Billboard's Christian Albums, Christian Songs, Hot Christian AC (Adult Contemporary), Christian CHR, Soft AC/Inspirational, and Christian Digital Songs as well as the UK's Official Christian & Gospel Albums Chart. Top-selling CCM artists will also appear on the Billboard 200. In the iTunes Store, the genre is represented as part of the Christian and gospel genre while the Google Play Music system labels it as Christian/Gospel. CCM sets itself apart due to its versatile sound profile and accessibility. Its range of expression, from soft ballads to rock-infused anthems and content that goes beyond just worship to dealing with personal struggles and societal issues, is what makes it both compelling and relatable to a diverse listener base.

The song "Common Love" reflects the struggles of growing up in poverty and finding strength through love and family. It describes a tough life with no money, cold nights, and constant hardship, but emphasizes how love acts as a shield and source of resilience. The narrator's parents, especially their mother's prayers and father's wisdom, provide emotional strength despite material lack. The chorus highlights how love among common people is powerful and unbreakable, even when life feels harsh. The song blends hip-hop beats and shoegaze elements to create a melancholic yet hopeful tone, reinforcing the message that love and unity are more valuable than wealth.

This is America to Me is a powerful tribute to the real heartbeat of this nation, the people. This Is America to Me honors those who rise early, fight quietly, and give endlessly to make others’ lives better. It speaks to the struggle, the sacrifice, and the silent strength behind freedom. In a time when division shouts loud, this song whispers truth and unity with fire. It’s not about politics, it’s about purpose. It’s about what America really means: liberty, dignity, and a promise worth keeping.

On Repeat

Contemporary country rock track about a woman's lovin' that brings a man to his knees.

Somethin' 'Bout Her Lovin'

You're my anchor when my ship comes into port
You're my banker, so I don't come up short
When we travel, you pack up all my bags
I'd unravel, if you ever were to pass

Ya keep me from worry, so I don't have to fret
When I'm in a hurry, You're my map and GPS
Keep me in the black, so I don't kite checks
Keep me on track, otherwise, I'd be a wreck

I don't know what I'd do, if I didn't have you
I'd be a mess, that's the Gospel truth
Because of you, I'm a happy man
If not for you, I'd be hat in hand

You make sure I'm fed, you're amazing in bed
Sometimes I think, you're crazy in the head
Favorite color is red, bake the best cornbread
If you were dead, who'd give me my meds?

I don't know what I'd do, if I didn't have you
I'd be a mess, that's the Gospel truth
Because of you, I'm a happy man
If not for you, I'd be hat in hand

You make sure I'm fed, you're amazing in bed
Sometimes I think, you're crazy in the head
Favorite color is red, bake the best cornbread
If you were dead, who'd give me my meds?

I'd be a mess, that's the Gospel truth
I don't know what I'd do, if I didn't have you
Because of you, I'm a happy man
If not for you, I'd be hat in hand

Because of you, I'm a happy man
If not for you, I'd be hat in hand
Because of you, I'm a happy man
If not for you, I'd be hat in hand

Hat in Hand
