Chris Daughtry: Its Not Over

Chris Daughtry






North Carolina native, Chris Daughtry released his first album, Daughtry on 19 records/RCA. An American Idol contestant from season 5, is a now a rock star in his own right. With his new band Daughtry, a band that Chris hand picked himself, they may have scored a smash hit with their first single, “It’s Not Over” and it definitely wont stop for this American Idol singer in Hollywood.

“It’s Not Over” starts off with Chris' rough but smooth voice and a simple electirc guitar. As the hook approaches so does his emotions he belts out with harmony and axe leads. Daughtry might remind you of a smiliar sounding group,
Nickelback and thier lead vocalist Chad Kroeger, but do not be fooled... he is no Chad. Chris Daughtry definelty has something that makes his his voice his own.

The lyrics of this song have power by just reading them. "It's not over" explains how a man and his love can not end... "My life with you means everything, So I won't give up that easily.I’ll blow it away, blow it away..." because no matter the pain they face, they are meant for eachother.

The "It's Not Over" video is a very heartfelt midway cheesy production. The story line focuses on a man who left his pregnant girlfriend behind as he spent years in jail. His girlfriend picks him up when he is realeased and he finally meets his at least 6 year old daughter. He struggles finding a job and it puts stress on his relationship. He ends up getting a job and a nice little surprise is left at the end of the video.

It's Not Over

I was blown away.What could I say?It all seemed to make sense.You've taken away everything,And I can't deal with that.I try to see the good in life,But good things in life are hard to find.I’ll blow it away, blow it away.

Can we make this something good?Well, I'll try to do it right this time around.Let's start over.I'll try to do it right this time around.It's not over.

’Cause a part of me is dead and in the ground.This love is killing me,But you're the only one.It's not over.I've taken all I can take,And I cannot wait.We're wasting too much time Being strong and holding on.Can't let it bring us down.My life with you means everything,So I won't give up that easily.I’ll blow it away, blow it away.Can we make this something good?'Cause it's all misunderstood.Well, I'll try to do it right this time around.

Let's start over.I'll try to do it right this time around.It's not over.’Cause a part of me is dead and in the ground.This love is killing me,But you're the only one.It's not over.We can't let this get away.Let it out, let it out.Don't get caught up in yourself.Let it out.Let's start over.I'll try to do it right this time around.It's not over.’Cause a part of me is dead and in the ground.This love is killing me,But you're the only one.It's not over.Let’s start over.It's not over, yeah...This love is killing me,But you're the only one.It's not over.
