The stories behind the songs
After coming out later in life, Clayton found new relationships, close friendships, and stories he wanted to put into songs. His perspective as a gay man is part of those stories, with country music at the center: tenderness, humor, and complicated love. Lyrics by Clayton Thayer, with AI assistance. Vocals and instrumentation generated with Suno.
