In 2008, iTunes named Chase one of the best new singer/songwriters of the year. Since then, he has continuously been on the iTunes top 100 singer/songwriter chart alongside classic artists such as Bob Dylan, Simon & Garfunkel and Nick Drake and great new artists such as William Fitzsimmons, The Weepies and Brett Dennen. Recently, Chase’s song “If the Moon Fell Down Tonight” was featured on an iTunes Essentials Rising Stars compilation.
To date, he has released one full-length CD (Look How Far We’ve Come) and three EPs (Dear Juliet, Goodbyes and Autumn Skies and December), selling more downloads than many of his contemporaries.
This year Chase is recording his first studio album for Universal Republic with a cinematic acoustic and string production that will further distinguish Chase and bring more attention to his music. In addition, Chase has toured extensively this year for the first time bringing his music live to the large fan base he has developed across the U.S. and the world.

Never Change
Chase Coy Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Just know I need you here
I need you near me now
You were brighter than the pale white moon
Reflected in your eyes
So I guess it's no surprise
I can't forget you
No matter what I do
I will always carry you in my heart
You'll always be my shooting star
Autumn days will fade away
But memories will always stay the same
I'm hoping you will never change
Don't ever change
I just need to slow down for a while
I'm missing your warm smile
And the way you used to say
"stay with me till the daylight breaks
No matter what it takes
Just say you'll stay"
I will always carry you in my heart
You'll always be my shooting star
Autumn days will fade away
But memories will always stay the same
I'm hoping you will never change
Don't ever change
In Chase Coy's "Never Change," the singer expresses his longing for someone who is not physically present with him. He reassures this person that they hold a special place in his heart and that he needs them near him. He employs simile through the comparison of the person's brightness to that of the pale white moon reflected in their eyes. It's clear that this person has left an indelible mark on the singer's heart as he claims that he can't forget them no matter what he does. The use of the words 'never' and 'always' reinforce the permanence of the emotions attached to this person.
The chorus shows a yearning for consistency, the sort that memories bring. The singer wishes for the person not to change and recalls a time where they would stay up with him till the daylight broke. The song hints at a past when things were different and the singer shared invaluable moments with this person, memories he wants to keep forever. It's hard to piece apart the specifics of who or what the singer is referring to; the lyrics can apply to anyone we've met and shared unforgettable memories with. Nonetheless, the song reminds us of the significance of memories, and how they have the power to make us feel connected to something or someone.
