TALK ABOUT LOVE words & music by Scott C. Riggan, Benjamin D. Bauman (c) 2008 Red Rubber Ball (Fun Attic) (ASCAP) from the CD "Clouds And Fire" Let’s talk about love / I’ll tell you what I know Let’s talk about the kind of love / You wait a lifetime for I think it’s about time / That we talked about grace And how one act of mercy / Changes everything Well I’m astonished, I’m amazed / To think of all He gave I’m falling to my knees / To think of all He did for me Let’s talk about love – let’s talk about Jesus Let’s talk about truth – the kind of truth that frees us It’s all about God – it’s all about forgiveness Let’s talk about love – let’s talk about love Let’s talk about truth / I’ll tell you what I’ve heard Truth is, the only thing worth talking ‘bout / Is written in the Word Hold on to your seat / You’re in for a ride ‘Cause the truth can’t be avoided / No it cannot be denied You can take it, you can leave it / But one day you’ll believe it The day will come when you will see / It’s Jesus that you need

READY TO FLY words and music by Scott C. Riggan, Benjamin D. Bauman (c) 2008 Pleasantview Music (ASCAP) From the CD "Clouds And Fire" on Spinning Plates Music Could anyone make a wish For anything more than this Whatever my past might say I’m seeing a bright new day And what used to be It’s no longer haunting me There’s nothing but clear blue skies As far as the horizon line Oh I have always been so tightly wound But lately I am starting to come around Now look at me - I’m spreading my wings I’m ready to fly, ready to fly Oh look at me - I’m finally free I’m ready to fly, ready to fly Now I’m seeing through brand new eyes And feeling my spirits rise There’s nothing that I should fear ‘Cause love has made its home here Now I have felt the touch of Your loving hand The world may not seem different, but I know I am The weight has lifted off my shoulders I’m reaching for the sky – I’m ready to fly… This is the life that I have been waiting for Love was out of my reach before You came to me Now nothing can hold me down, I can touch the sky My heart made up my mind and it’s clear to see I am finally free…

I SEE YOU (feat. Jaime Thietten) words & music by Rich Mullins (c) BMG Music Publishing/BMG Songs, Inc. (ASCAP) from the CD "Clouds And Fire" Lord You’re leading me With a cloud by day And then in the night By the glow of a burning flame Everywhere I go I see You Oh You take my hand And You wash it clean I know the promised land Is light years ahead of me Everywhere I go I see You Well the eagle flies And the rivers run I look through the night And I can see the rising sun Everywhere I go I see You Well the grass will die And the flowers fall But Your Word’s alive And it will be after all Everywhere I go I see You

about

ABOUT "CLOUDS AND FIRE"
If Carole King and Paul McCartney decided to write songs for Steely Dan, and the BeeGees were brought in to produce (but they weren't allowed to sing), it might sound something like "Clouds And Fire", the ambitious new project from Scott Riggan.

"Pop music has been kind of stagnant for awhile," observes Scott. "I know I'm not the only one who's bored with everything on the radio. I hope this CD will appeal to grown ups who worry less about how 'hip' their music is and more about whether they actually like it."

RECORDING CREDITS
I undertook this project with the simple hope that the music would be surprising, fun and inspiring ... but all I really did was write, arrange, sing and - most importantly - pay for it. Jason Collum, as usual, played a bunch of instruments and worked his tail off for this record. This included drums, percussion, guitar, exercise ball, keyboards, orchestra bells, engineering, editing, arranging and many other things I’m forgetting. I would have played some keyboards if it weren’t for Matt Stanfield, who is so full of pure groove that I can’t help but smile every time I listen to the stuff he played. Piano, Rhodes, Wurlitzer, Moog – he did it all with deep soul (and the occasional blip and beep). One of my favorite people, Kris Donegan, took time from his busy career in the studio and on the road to play acoustic and electric guitars. Dan Agee also played guitars, and I’m so glad to have him on my project. For strings we had Paul Nelson (cello) and Nathan Walters (keyboards). Clay Krasner’s bass playing was a pleasure, and I was glad to get him on another record (he was on my Christmas project). Tony Lucido also played bass, and the dude flat out grooves. Tyler Cain’s harmonica and Jaime Thietten’s beautiful voice elevated “I See You” into something truly special. Adding more spice to this project were Barry Green and Vinnie Ciesielski (horns) and Jim Hoke (flute). Chip Davis, Angie Primm and Annie Clements provided some lovely background vocals. We needed a little more guitar on “Hollow” and Perrin Lamb graciously stopped by to help. Dave Goetter at The Mix House engineered vocals. Jimmy Jernigan at Apollo 54 engineered and mixed (and ultimately mastered this thing). Photographer extraordinaire (and one of my China mission partners) Phil White told the story of Clouds And Fire with pictures, and Chad Werber provided the 1967 Pontiac LeMans for that photo shoot (although I didn’t get to drive it…). Mindy Wade worked her graphic artist magic and viola! we have a record!
