Living Arrows CD

Living Arrows is Chesney at his most vulnerable, completely free of inhibitions or doubts. There is heartache, yes, but there is joy, too, and gratitude for everything he has in life. Combined with his heartfelt, candid style of songwriting, the albums cohesive poprock sound creates what is not only his greatest work to date, but also the most authentic representation of the man behind the artist. The album takes its name from On Children, a poem by the LebaneseAmerican writer, poet and artist Kahlil Gibran, which addresses the importance of nurturing children while also accepting that their independence has to be a parents ultimate priority.The album was produced and cowritten by the BRIT Award winner and Grammy nominee Jake Gosling Ed Sheeran, One Direction. The friendship between the pair is a big element of the albums success its a connection that allows Chesney to face the tougher emotions that he explores in some of its songs, but also to enjoy the unbridled fun that he channels in others. Its buoyant spirit was further elevated by guest appearances from friends including Nik Kershaw and Chesneys brother Jodie.
