Well, my friends. Here it is – the official release of “Now I Have Faith,” and your next addition to my one-song-per-month-album in 2019.
Really excited to share this one with you. It’s very personal.
The lyrics paint a picture of someone arriving at an airport to meet the person they love, and how they experienced that sensation that, in that moment, all truly is right with the world.
At the same time, it’s about realizing that life and love have a way of working out if you’re willing to let go. That perhaps loving is exactly that – letting go and trusting in your idea of the divine.
Here are some of the lyrics…
“I can’t find words to say
what my mind went through,
I got off that plane, and down the stairs I came,
and there was you.
Maybe words are vain
’cause you felt the same
and you called my name.
And how you call my name.
And now I have faith
and you came out of the blue.
Now I have faith.
Only thing I know is I need you.
I’ve made my mistakes
~ Cecil Charles
but I’m letting go of all I held on to.
Now I have faith.
In giving in I know how to love you.”
There are no guarantees in this life, but I have to say that I feel very fortunate to have had experiences that open up in me the desire to create beautiful things, and share them with the world, since something beautiful has been shared with me.
All people do this in all sorts of ways, every day. From holding the door for someone else to writing a thank you letter, to painting a Picasso. We all take in beauty and share it, and I feel lucky every time I’m reminded… every time I’m conscious of this incredible pattern.
And here’s to being in love. Whether you have been, or you will be, or you are right now… I hope this song resonates with those moments when the world just felt right, and that everything you’d done up until that point had led you to a moment of love and awareness of the beauty of it all.
So please, if you like this song, consider sharing it on your social media…

… and take a look at my Patreon page. I’m releasing a song per month for all of 2019, and likely much much longer.
Patreon is an online crowdfunding that lets you give a small monthly dollar amount (in my case, $5) for as many or as few months as you like, to support artists of your choice in their endeavors.
For me, you get lots of exclusive content, uploaded just for Patrons daily and weekly, so that you can hear what I’m up to, the songs I’m mulling over, ideas I’m wrestling with, and where my travels are taking me.
Additionally, I gift all my Patrons the songs each month – so you won’t have to spend any money downloading them – you’ll get them for free!
Finally, it helps so much if you subscribe to my YouTube Channel, and follow my artist profile on Spotify. Every little bit helps.
Thank you all, so much – I wouldn’t be here without you!
Yours,
~ Cecil
So I’m listening to this and I’m thinking to myself, “Man, this sounds so familiar.” Well, it is dodo. I got the sneak preview in the car with you the other night after the show at The Tin Pan 🙂
