  • Hymn Mash Up

    Hymn Mash Up

    Later this week the beloved singer/songwriter, Evie Clair, will become Mrs. Evelyn Thomas. Her heart is definitely set on the tall and handsome Clancy Thomas but lately has also turned more to God. She has been working on reviving some of her favorite hymns and spiritual music. She revealed to her family recently that her favorite types of gigs are ones where she can share her spiritual journey and sacred music.

    Fans weren’t expecting a new music video from Evie to drop on her YouTube channel just days before her wedding since she hasn’t released a professional video since “Talking” 10 months ago. She gave no hints about the this new video, but fans we’re thrilled with one commenting “Just what the world needs” and another “This was so beautiful. Got chills the second I hit play. God bless and Merry Christmas.” They also loved that she included her little sister Kirra Abplanalp and her Aunt Christy Mann’s beautiful accompanying cello.

    With video direction and production by Tanner Blackburn and audio engineering by Stephen Moyer, this was most likely Evie’s last opportunity to work with Arizona friends as she will be staying in Idaho to continue her education and start her new married life.

    She doesn’t have plans yet on how or if she will pursue her singing career moving forward but she will never stop singing praises to God.

    A comment recently left on one of Evie’s videos reads: “There is a disarming gentleness and quiet strength to this child that is truly human. She is not your normal performer with goals, agendas and ambitions. She has so much past, so much insight into the sum total of human suffering, so much humanness to offer those who live in human frames but have either lost the knack or have never known what it is like to be both gently strong and strongly gentle.” -Arjuna Seneviratne

    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

    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

  • Auld Lang Syne

    Auld Lang Syne

    Live in Concert

    Arranged and performed by Evie Clair

    Produced and mastered by Stephen Moyer

    Simon Cowell describes Evie Clair’s voice as stunning and beautiful. She captured the hearts of America as a finalist on America’s Got Talent and she shares her version of the classic “Auld Lang Syne” with the world this new year to remember her father and all those we have lost.

    The song Auld Lang Syne translates to mean for old time’s sake and has been adopted in English speaking countries after becoming part of the Scottish New Year’s Celebration. The words are attributed to Scottish poet Robert Burns in 1788 but may have existed in some form before that dating back to 1638. The melody is believed to be attributed to the English composer William Sheild in 1782.

    Auld Lang Syne warmed our hearts in the closing scene of the classic Christmas film It’s a Wonderful Life and Guy Lombardo’s band helped make it a New Year’s Eve tradition as they played it each December 31st on the radio and later television programs for over 30 years.

    Though it may have originally been a Scottish drinking song, Evie performs it not to promote alcohol consumption but to urge us all to look back and enjoy memories with those we love. She has a special gratitude for her father and the fun they had together and the memories she will always have. She believes old acquaintance’ shouldn’t be forgot’ and hopes we’ll all take time this holiday season to remember them.

    Auld Lang Syne performed by Evie Clair was her first platinum single.

Here in My Arms has emphasis on the divine calling of motherhood and the special ways Mary, the mother of Christ, was able to give Jesus the gift of lifelong service as His mother.

    Here in My Arms sheet music is available here.

    For Light the World, composer Sara Baril and her son Benson caught Evie’s attention with an original song they released that captures the heart of the #LightTheWorld in 25 ways over 25 days initiative to teach, serve and love as Jesus Christ.  Sara and Benson traveled from their home in Canada to record and film Light the World and bring message to life in collaboration with Step UP Schools, Mormon.org and the Salvation Army, they put their words to action as they participated in service projects including preparing food boxes and hygiene kits for families in need and reading to and playing with the students.

    Jake’s song is an original by Amanda Johnstone and Evie Clair.  It was written as a love song for Jake Johnstone from his wife Amanda.  Jake is a cousin of Evie’s dad and Evie helped Amanda put together this song about unconditional love as a surprise to celebrate their upcoming temple sealing.  Jake’s Song was performed by Evie Clair on vocals and piano and Stephen Moyer at Vistalight productions on guitar.  Stephen also recorded and mastered the audio. This is Evie’s 3rd original pop song, but this one has more of a country flare.

    DANCE

    Evie wanted to add a new element to this video and include dancing with her vocal and piano expression. Evie is multi-talented and is appreciative of Porter Abplanalp who agreed to dance with her for this video and share some of his talents. Evie’s dance career began when she played the part of Molly for a 32-show run at Hale Theatre’s production of Annie in Gilbert, AZ. Director, Cambrian James, taught Evie at the age of 8, to tap dance for that show.  Her lyrical dance abilities are showcased in this video while Porter’s style is a contrast to lyrical to highlight the different perspectives and actions of the two birds in the song.
