But, as multi platinum-selling singer\/songwriter Tom Keifer has come to remind us, if you \u201cSpend all your time chasing tomorrow,\u201d you may find yourself \u201cStuck within the god knows when\u2026While the now\u2019s tickin\u2019 away.\u201d Such is the theme of #keiferband\u2019s floor-stompin\u2019 rocker, \u201cLife Was Here,\u201d a deep cut off the powerful 2nd solo album,\u00a0<em>RISE<\/em>\u00a0from the former vocalist of \u201880s hard rock icons Cinderella. The song has been given a fresh new life by an exhilarating lyric video that drives home its timely theme with dynamic images and eye-popping motion graphics. It\u2019s an inspiring testament to the staying power of this veteran rocker who isn\u2019t content to coast along on remembrances of yesterday but rather keeps his focus on life in the now, continuing to record new music and tour with #keiferband \u2013 Savannah Keifer, Tony Higbee, Billy Mercer, Kendra Chantelle, Jarred Pope &amp; Kory Myers.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><br><strong>Watch \u201cLIFE WAS HERE\u201d video:<\/strong><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/HMFxCz0ZzQg\">https:\/\/youtu.be\/HMFxCz0ZzQg<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><br>\u201cLIFE WAS HERE\u201d Written by Tom Keifer\/Savannah KeiferVideo produced by Joshua Smith\u00a0<a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"mailto:promoedits18@gmail.com\">promoedits18@gmail.com<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><br><strong>Order\u00a0<em>RISE<\/em>\u00a0on digital, CD or vinyl:<\/strong><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/orcd.co\/tomkeiferrise\">https:\/\/orcd.co\/tomkeiferrise<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><em>RISE<\/em>\u00a0REVIEWS\u2026\u00a0<\/strong><br><em>\u201c\u2026A gem of a record that manages to walk the line of recapturing the heart of his early works yet still feels totally vibrant for today \u2026moments that shine best here are the album opening \u201cTouching The Divine\u201d, \u201cThe Death of Me\u201d, the Stones-ish balladry of \u201cWaiting On The Demons\u201d and \u201cHYPE\u201d.
