  • I Know You’re There

    I Know You’re There

    Evie Clair (Thomas) breaks down the heartfelt lyrics of her upcoming song about her dad in a new YouTube video. She will be premiering the new original song “I know You’re There” in one week – the day she calls her dad’s angelversary. He passed away on September 7th, 2017. The song will be released on streaming services later in the month.

    Evie opens her heart and shares it as she goes through each line of this new song and explains her thoughts behind it, knowing her dad is still watching over her. She breaks down in tears when she reveals the lyric about her dad’s grandkids, “and when they cry, when they’re down, when there’s nobody to listen, I know you’re there.” She spoke of how her dad was always such a good listener and that she knows he’s still there listening and will be there for her children. She recognizes that she won’t be able to see him hold his grandkids but wonders if Billye has already had some time with him recently. Her inspiration to write this song for her dad started when she was having an unspoken conversation about him with her baby.

    The melody of “I Know You’re There” remains a mystery for one more week. Watch for the release on Evie Clair’s YouTube channel the morning of September 7, 2023. #teamamos

  • Talking – Evie Clair feat Benson Price Jones

    Talking – Evie Clair feat Benson Price Jones

    Benson and Evie were acquainted as guest soloists for Rob Gardner’s Cinematic Pop. They have since been friends and collaborated on a few impromtu covers. “Talking” is their first joint effort at writing music together and they loved the result. They brought in a dream team including Rob Gardner, Stephen Moyer, Stephen Davis, Lisette Perez and more to produce both an incredible track and music video for Valentine’s Day 2021.

    Lyrics

    I ain’t never been the best at talking
    Noticed you in that dress when you walked in
    Wish I’d approached you and said girl you look good
    But I ain’t never been the best at talking

    What’s your name, what’s your sign?
    Tell me all the little things that run across your mind
    Is it me, is it us, could it be?
    The moment that your eyes met mine and I couldn’t breathe
    I ain’t never been the best at talking

    You’ve always been the best at talking
    You say it all with your eyes when I walk in
    I say way too much but never what I truly mean
    I tend to fantasize but never in my wildest dreams
    Would I have thought that I’d be here with you
    Two years after the scene
    I ain’t never been the best at talking

    What’s your name, what’s your sign?
    Tell me all the little things that ran across your mind
    Was it me, was it us, could it be?
    The moment that your eyes met mine and I couldn’t breathe
    I ain’t never been the best at talking

    Whoah, oh, oh, oh
    Whoah, oh, oh, oh
    Whoah, oh, oh, oh
    Oh, whoah

    Take my name, take your time
    Hold me all the little ways I love once in a while
    You and me, you and I, could it be?
    Every moment that your eyes meet mine feels like the first scene
    But I ain’t never been the best at talking

    Talking

  • Trash

    Trash



    Evie Clair’s final summer collaboration is a new single with some of her favorite people in the world – her siblings. Evie is a little like Billie Eilish with a brilliant older brother like FINNEAS. Porter is her older brother and currently serving a church mission but was home because of the pandemic for just long enough to help write this song. Kirra is their younger sister. She appears in the video playing the trash drums and she also helped write this song. At the end of the song you can hear their mom say “Ya, good, it’s good. Wow guys.” That response was her authentic and original response when the 3 of them performed it for her for the first time at home. Since then their mom called it the “Trash Song” even though a better title might have been “I’m So Here.” Trash as a theme stuck and we created a video based on trash and the idea that they work so hard on this music while still feeling it just isn’t good enough. This song has a lyric in the bridge that says; “I’m writing and I’m bawling and these songs, they’re appalling, but I try and this trash, it’s for you; along with my heart.” These siblings truly love writing music together and love the people they write for – all of you.

    Lyrics

    i don’t want to open my eyes cause this nightmare just seems so nice

    i know that seems sad but really compared to real life

    cause you’re here

    why is it so hard to express what i feel in my chest when you’re here

    i sink in my thoughts and my words start to disappear

    when you’re here

    and i know i’m slow with my flow but the only word you leave me with is whoa

    so i just have to go with the flow when the only word you leave me with is whoa

    cause i’m so so so so here

     

    i just keep chasing that line in the sky not sure why but i’m fine

    i know where it ends yet again you know why i’m here

    yeah i’m still here

    and i know i’m slow with my flow but the only word you leave me with is whoa

    so i just have to go with the flow when the only word you leave me with is whoa

    cause i’m so so so so here

     

    i’m writing and i’m bawling and these songs they’re appalling but i try and this trash is for you

    along with my heart

     

    and i know i’m slow with my flow but the only word you leave me with is whoa

    cause i’m so so so so slow with my flow but the only word you leave me with is whoa

    cause i’m so so so so here

     

    i find in time it’s all lethal and deadly or everything’s fine

    but i’m still here

  • Even if the World Stops

    Even if the World Stops

    Evie Clair’s 3rd song in her summer of collaborations is with some fantastic kids from One Voice Children’s Choir (Grant, Lulu, Eva and Kainoa) who have a new smaller group called Kids America. This collab also included her good friend Benson Baril! These are some of the talented people behind the scenes:

    Lead Producer: Big Time Nate
    Songwriters: Big Time Nate, Shaun Barrowes, Evie Clair and Benson Baril
    Videography: Dan LaPray

    This project brings attention to the kids who are alone because of the global pandemic with the world still mostly closed. It shows that we need each other and we need to find a new sense of community that is supportive and uplifting. We need to help each other. We need to try harder to understand each other. We need to find peace. We need to find new ways to show people we love them. We need to get past our differences and help people feel hope and that life is worth living and fighting for.

    Evie took on this project because she has felt that despair in the past and sees too many kids feeling it now. She has witnessed an epidemic of teens in her friend groups and community who have taken their own lives during this time of quarantine and she wants to help spread a message of hope and that we all have a purpose and a responsibility to help each other when we fall into dark places.

    ► “Even If The World Stops” Lyrics:

    Cause we all need someone who understands us

    To hold you closer when darkness pulls us

    So even if the world stops well have someone around

    Holding the rope its begun to fray

    I’m Falling now

    Calling for help I’m a mile away there’s no way out

    All I need is someone to hear me It’s a game I don’t wanna play

    Cause we all need someone to understand us

    To hold you closer when darkness pulls us

    So even if the world stops we’ll have someone around

    Can you help me Can you help me out (x3)

    Even if the world stops Looking for signs it will be okay

    I’m screaming out

    The light at the end of the road won’t stay.

    In darkness now

    Cause all I need is someone to find me

    To hold my hand when I’m feeling lost

    Cause we all need someone to understand us

    To hold you closer when darkness pulls us

    So even if the world stops we’ll have someone around

    Can you help me

    Can you help me out (x3)

    Can you help me

    Can you help me out (x3)

    Even if the world stops

  • No Wasted Days

    No Wasted Days

    No Wasted Days – original single with a calm and reflective mood remembering her father and reminding us to make the most of each day. In the video, you’ll see a few scenes with a beautiful lady at the piano and Evie and her brother and sisters all around. You then get a peek of Evie’s late father through the dancing children. This was a video from a visit with good friends, The Warrens. Julia Warren wrote the music and lyrics for No Wasted Days with Evie in mind to record it. On Evie’s parents’ 20th anniversary it was the night of the quarter-finals for America’s Got Talent. Evie’s dad was in the hospital in Arizona and Evie and her mom were in California. Evie’s dad called Julia’s husband, Chris Warren, to bring Evie’s mom an anniversary gift since they lived in California. It was the last gift she would get from her sweet husband in this life. Evie and her mom made it home before he passed away but by that time he was already unresponsive.  The Warrens have supported and loved Evie and her family through good times and heartbreaking times. Evie loved recording this song from Julia’s heart and hopes you will let it fill you with love and gratitude for the good people in your lives.

    No Wasted Days

    Throwing rocks in the ocean

    Stepping on foam

    It’s getting cold now

    Almost time to go home

    The sun’s dipping lower

    In the violet sky

    Your head on my shoulder

    Now baby, don’t cry

     

    ‘Cause I will walk by your side for as long as you’ll let me

    Just swear when it’s all said and done

    That you won’t forget me

     

    No wasted days

    Waves drifting away

    Tides up and down

    Winds blowing ’round

    No wasted days

    There are so many ways

    We lose them, it’s true,

    Like sand slipping through

    No day is wasted

    When I’m with you

     

    Some salty expression

    Slips right off the tongue

    You know what they say now

    Youth is wasted on the young

    With each day that passes

    We’re a little bit changed

    Some will grow up and some will grow old

    Now isn’t that strange

     

    And I will walk by your side for as long as you’ll let me

    Just swear when it’s all said and done

    That you won’t forget me

     

    No wasted days

    Waves drifting away

    Tides up and down

    Wind blowing ’round

    No wasted days

    There are so many ways

    We lose them, it’s true,

    Like sand slipping through

    No day is wasted

    When I’m with you

    Caught up in twilight

    The darkness is calling

    But something tells me,

    Don’t wait ’till morning

     

    No wasted days

    Waves drifting away

    Tides up and down

    Wind blowing ’round

    No wasted days

    There are so many ways

    We lose them, it’s true,

    Like sand slipping through

    No day is wasted

    When I’m with you

     

    Throwing rocks in the ocean

    Stepping on foam

    It’s getting cold now

    Almost time to go home

  • Crossroads

    Crossroads

    Crossroads by Evie Clair is the last song on the upcoming Results Take Time album (EP). It’s a crossover song that takes her music from pop/alternative to spiritual. It takes us to the end of a musical storyline about relationships and helps us realize how to be at peace with ourselves and others when things fall apart in this life. It helps us understand that life is temporary and that God is constant and that we can “call on the waves to carry” us through our difficult emotional struggles. Crossroads takes all the album cover art from the songs Maybe Not, Cry, Deja Vu and Never Loved You and combines them into one picture with a crossroads.

    Evie is 16 but she has had to grow up fast with the life presented to her. She has struggled to find her way without her father who she lost to cancer when she was 13. He was a psychologist who helped guide her emotionally. Her mother was a music teacher who gave her the skills needed to improve her musical craft. She has powerful talents but also powerful emotions and struggles within herself as many of us do. Music has been her therapy since her father died and she is grateful to all of you who continue to listen to and appreciate it. Thank you for wrapping your arms around her and supporting her through this journey. She hopes her music with lift and inspire and help others through their struggles.

    The Results Take Time EP is available digitally everywhere including physical CD’s through Amazon and it reveals a hidden item within the album art.

     

    music and lyrics by evie clair

    my heart is feeling something new
    each beat is longing for the truth
    i feel the wind beneath my feet
    call on the waves to carry me

    i take a step and fall right back
    every time i think that i’m on track
    something keeps pulling at me
    it’s getting harder to breath

    i’m at a cross roads
    i’m crying
    i try to scream
    but i’m silent
    can’t catch my tears as they’re falling
    to the ground

    i know i can’t make it on my own
    feels like i’m walking through the snow
    please answer my prayers my lord
    i know you can hear my broken soul

    i’m at a cross roads
    i’m crying
    i try to scream
    but i’m silent
    please catch my tears as they’re falling
    to the ground

    i was at a cross roads
    i was dying
    thought i had to scream
    now im silent
    you catch my tears as they’re falling
    to the ground

  • Never Loved You

    Never Loved You

    Never Loved you by Evie Clair is the 4th song in 16 year old Evie Clair’s EP “Results Take Time.” This song is really a love song in disguise. It’s Evie’s most popular original song. 

    love do you know, we’ve been growing apart
    and you should know that for me that’s hard
    darling i’m scared if i let you go oh
    this will be goodbye for good

    it’s easier this way
    i’ll spare my heart some pain
    even though i know it isn’t true

    it’s easier this way
    i’ll spare my heart some pain
    even though i know it isn’t true
    i never loved you

    and i won’t say that i knew it from the start
    so you can say that we weren’t torn apart
    ’cause for me, oh it’s easier to bleed oh
    when i know you can sleep so i keep telling myself

    it’s easier this way
    i’ll spare my heart some pain
    even though i know it isn’t true
    i never loved you

    i feel numb when the drums slow down
    oh leave me dumb so i can’t tell myself
    myself oh

    it’s easier this way
    i’ll spare my heart some pain
    even though i know it isn’t true
    i never loved you

    it’s easier this way
    i’ll spare my heart some pain
    but i already know that it just isn’t true
    i never loved you

    Deja Vu


    Deja Vu Music Lyrics by Evie Clair

    I’ve broken my heart a 100 times
    I could say it’s your fault but that’s a lie
    Cause it was mine whoa
    I seems like it’s been this way before
    I walk into every closing door
    I’ve run out of lives

    Deja vu
    Keep running back to you
    Have nothing left to lose (ahah)
    Deja vu
    Cause everything was you
    I can’t stand this deja vu

    I knew that I’d seen the signs before
    But I thought that this time I was sure
    That we could be more (whoa)
    Know all this time was worth the pain
    So id do everything the same
    Now I have myself to blame (ahah)

    Deja vu Keep running back to you
    Have nothing left to lose (ahah)
    Deja vu
    Cause everything was you
    I can’t stand this déjà vu

    I thought that my tears were in the past
    And somehow we could make this last (last)
    That somehow I could change your mind
    And the results would just take time (time)

    Deja vu
    Keep running back to you
    Have nothing left to lose (ahah)
    Deja vu
    Cause everything was you
    I can’t stand this deja vu

    Cry is a powerful original single by Evie Clair and part of the Results Take Time Album that will be released Feb 14th 2020! Her soulful voice, unique instrumentation and indie feel bring out her brilliant emotions in Cry. For Evie, music is where she can express her feelings best. This song is a reminder to herself that she doesn’t want to let other people control how she feels. She wants to experience emotion independent of the choices of those around her. “I’m not gonna cry anymore” is a self motivation to stand on her own two feet and face the world and those who would want to bring her down and remind them and herself that happiness is a choice.

    CRY LYRICS by Evie Clair

    do you know i still cry over you
    lose my sleep ’til me eyes turn dark blue
    i’m over you
    not over you

    ivory keys and theses gold piano strings
    hear my heart
    ice the pain from your sting
    wash over me
    i’m in too deep

    and i’m not gonna cry anymore
    only making my heartache more sore
    no i’m not gonna cry anymore
    go on hun, it’s your move; take the floor
    cuz for you i won’t cry anymore

    they say what’s the real use for those tears
    just a spilled glass of milk
    tame your fears
    it’s over dear
    your makeup’s smeared

    and i’m not gonna cry anymore
    only making my heartache more sore
    no i’m not gonna cry anymore
    go on hun, it’s your move; take the floor
    cuz for you i won’t cry anymore

    ahh ahh ahh
    ah ah ahh ahh ah ah ah
    ahh ahh ahh
    ah ah ahh ahh ah ah ah

    and i’m not gonna cry anymore
    only making my heartache more sore
    and i’m not gonna cry anymore
    go on hun, it’s your move; take the floor
    cuz for you i won’t cry anymore
