Do you have a favorite place to write?

- Asked by Anonymous

Lately I’ve been writing songs in random places…  Usually I do the bulk of the writing in my bedroom (which is also my studio), but I often start songs while I’m on tour, parked somewhere, or while I’m sitting writing lyrics at random coffee shops, which I do a lot.  I have a few songs I’ve written and never shared, but I have stacks of books of lyrics that I’ve written and never put to music, mostly because a lot of them are bad :)   But almost always, my songs start with the words.

The smell of hospitals in winter
And the feeling that it’s all a lot of oysters, but no pearls
And all at once you look across a crowded room
To see the way that light attaches to a girl

how do I buy the album Static? It's not on itunes..

- Asked by Anonymous

You can get it on CDbaby here (http://www.cdbaby.com/cd/chrisayer1).  It was the very first thing I put out, so I don’t feature it on iTunes, but appreciate when someone has heard other newer songs, and wants to hear the earliest record.  Hope you like!

You are not responsible for why. You know it in the morning and it’s gone by the night. It comes to you in sleep, but less and less each week, like a language you forget the more you write.

Chris Ayer. “Hiding Place.” (via kfell)

I can’t wait to finish recording this song!  It’s definitely going to be on the new album this spring.

Back from the UK/Europe December tour.

I had some fun shows, some tiring times, met some great new friends, dealt with some not-so-greatfriends…  Kind of everything.  I’m exhausted, with a 102 fever, and I honestly can’t wait to go back.

The way of life is wonderful: it is by abandonment.
