Scott Stapp sits down to chat...

Thank you all so much for the love and positivity! I am humbled that there are those in the world who believe in me and connect with the music I create. There is no action or word that can express the gratitude I have for the blessings that have come because we share a love for the journey through life expressed through song. The last 5 years I have been on the mountain top, and I have fallen to the floor! Yet there are those of you who accept me for what I am, just a man, and remain constant. I know of the army out there, and one by one we can share our common bond. That is our creed right? I can't wait to see you all on tour and share some REAL life through song with you. We are going to ROCK!

The Best is yet to Come!
Let's stay in touch...

Good Morning!

Good day to all- :) Another day I wake and sluggishly make my way to the kitchen to quench my morning thirst and make a pot of coffee for my wife and I. Jagger (my son), still half asleep walks into the kitchen and puts his arms around my waist and says, " Good morning Dad...I love you." As I hug him and tell him the same I notice he is looking around for something. Now I remember...I forgot to let the TOOTH FAIRY in last night. wink,wink,- :) See, Jagger lost a tooth yesterday, and was fully expecting to wake and find some CASH under his pillow....but he didn't...so he asks me if I think the TOOTH FAIRY might have forgotten about him? I suddenly realize something must be done and done quickly! I asked Jagger to go check his room again and he runs off to see if he might have just not looked hard enough. As Jagger runs up stairs, I hear a little voice saying DaDa..DaDa..so I go into the nursery and my daughter Milan greets me with a smile, stomping her feet and raising her arms for me to pick her up. I say, " Good Morning Princess! Did you sleep well my precious little girl? Daddy loves you so much..." and pick her up and shower her with kisses. As I leave her room to head back to the kitchen I remember Jagger is looking for TOOTH FAIRY money. With Milan in my arms, her soft face pressed against mine, I quickly walk to my desk. I grab ten dollars out of my wallet and make a mad dash to the kitchen. I see an Eli Manning signed football and Rookie card in a brand new clear case made for the football and card to be displayed. I quickly slide the Ten Dollar bill under the display case and walk into the kitchen to get Milan something to drink. Milan loves a sippy cup full of cold water right when she wakes up in the morning. As I prepare that, Jagger runs in and says, " I guess the tooth Fairy forgot?" Playfully, I ask him a series of places the Fairy might have put it. He finally looks over to the encased Eli Manning autographed football ( jagger received this as a gift for making all A's on his report card) and runs to the kitchen table where it sits and what does he find? Ten Bucks tucked right underneath the case. I then hear him say with joy, " I found it! I bet the Tooth Fairy likes the New York Giants like I do?" I respond quickly with, " No, No, No, Just like Santa, the Easter Bunny, and for that matter, God, all love the DALLAS COWBOY'S, just like your Dad!" - :) After I hear Jagger laugh at my comment and follow up with his own..." Yea Right Dad", he comes and sits in my favorite chair with Milan and I. As I sit with both of my children, one on each side, we act silly and laugh. At this moment, I realize how truly blessed I am. Just when I thought my day could not start any better, my wife Jaclyn joins us on my chair and greets all of us with hugs, kisses, and I love you's....(yes we are a mushy family!- ;)

It is mornings like this that remind me how much I love and adore my family. I hope all of you had a good morning as well. Rock on and remember, I am making an album not just to fulfill my creative needs, but for all of you who have connected with the music I created in the past. I can assure you...THE BEST IS YET TO COME!

Have a great day...Stapp

Wow...what’s up it’s Stapp-

Just wanted to say GOOD MORNING and THANK YOU for all the comments! I have been in the studio working on my new album and I am really looking forward to getting on tour and performing these songs with you. Everything seems to be falling into place for this record. Looking back, the time away was much needed. I think I needed to find myself again...and through a few public learning experiences and the love and support from my wife, family, and all of you out there...I found more! I can't say everything was positive, and needless to say I hit ROCK BOTTOM. I found though, that when your at the bottom, the only place to look is up- As I have grown, and am still growing, I learned a few things that changed my life! As I always seem to do, I share my journey honestly on my album in progress. One thing I am trying to remember is I should look up when times are good, not just in desperation. Life is a gift, and I'm learning to cherish it everyday. I found that the peace I was searching for was right in front of my eyes. I found it through the gift of love and within my family, and everything else in my life has it's origins there. Sorry to just end my note, but Milan just woke up and I love spending time with her in the morning....- Jagger just jumped on the sofa next to me as well, so I gotta go...I love my babies!!!! Talk soon...THE BEST IS YET TO COME...ROCK ON!!!!! scott stapp
