A former NHSRA Rodeo Champion, Chadwick fought to maintain balance between his passion for music and his dedication to the sport of team roping. He initially discovered his musical ability performing duets with his Grandmother as a member of the Lighthouse Baptist church choir. As he matured, his intense involvement in team roping and horse training earned him state championships during his junior and senior years of high school. During these competitions, his first rendition of The National Anthem received accolades from both audience members and competitors on the NHSRA circuit. As a result of his remarkable talent and newfound popularity, his musical career quickly took precedence over his dedication to competitive rodeo.

Chadwick relocated to Los Angeles to pursue a career as a recording artist. Upon arrival, he became a regular at numerous open mic venues, and, due to his overwhelming appeal, emerged as a collaborator of influential songwriters and film composers such as Allan Rich, Michael Jay, Art Reynolds, Christopher Farrell, and Robin and Judithe Randall. Using Chadwick as the voice for their creative energies, many of their compositions were placed within commercial media. After developing his range, control and signature sound under the direction of Marta Woodhull and Janice Beutin, Chadwick prepared to enter the studio for his first solo effort. In the spring of 2005, celebrity producer Stuart Brawley (Marc Anthony, Celine Dion, Michael Jackson, Brandy, The Matrix, Nick Lachey…) coupled songs from major label writers with Chadwick’s trademark vocal stylings. Chadwick recorded three outstanding tracks: "Be With You", "Better Man" and "Just One Smile".

In the fall of 2006, Chadwick joined forces with the extremely gifted composer and arranger, David Olivas. Soon after, Producer, Kent Moore ,came aboard and the trio just finished recording Chadwick’s debut album, "Addicted". Release is set for August 1, 2007.

True to his heart, Chadwick continues to impassion his audience with the soul and sincerity of his music, while remaining on the cutting edge of the entertainment industry.

Always You
Chadwick Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Seven years and all my fears
Have been reduced to endless tears
And since you're gone I've searched too long
Never found a love this strong

Couldn't feel your love
I was just too numb
Baby I was the fool

Living on the run

Now I'll stand up for love
Cause it's all that I need
Never knew how I'd hurt
'Till I felt my soul bleed
Then I let your heart break
From one piece to two
Never realized that
It was always you

I've hurt you so but still I know
Deep inside I can't let go
A second chance at our first dance
One more try to find romance

I just need your love
Don't wanna let you go
Yeah I know you're the one
Baby don't say no

Now I'll stand up for love
Cause it's all that I need
Never knew how I'd hurt
'Till I felt my soul bleed
Then I let your heart break
From one piece to two
Never realized that
It was always you

(Always you)
It was always
(Always you)
It was always
(Always you)
Always you

Now I'll stand up for love
Cause it's all that I need
Never knew how I'd hurt
'Till I felt my soul bleed
Then I let your heart break
From one piece to two

Never realized that
It was always you

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Chadwick's song "Always You" express the regret of a person who has lost someone they loved deeply. The first two lines reveal that the loss of this person has caused the singer endless tears, and that they have been searching for a love that is as strong as the one they lost. The next two lines describe the singer's emotional numbness before they lost their beloved. They realized only after the relationship ended, that they were the fool for not recognizing the love they had and living on the run.

The chorus repeats the importance of love, and that it is all the singer requires to be happy. They now realize that they hurt the one they loved, and their soul bled when they lost that love. The singer finally recognizes that it was always this person that they should have been with, rather than seeking love elsewhere. They are asking for a second chance to make things right, to find romance and take the opportunity to dance with this person one more time.

"Always You" is a song about regret, recognizing a mistake too late, and wanting to make amends to the one you lost. The lyrics describe the pain of living with the consequences of your actions and the despair of thinking of a future without the one you truly love. The song's message is that, no matter how long it takes, love is worth standing up for and fighting for.
