Info for Make Heaven Crowded

Cole Swindell, a Grammy-nominated multi-Platinum headlining superstar, but more importantly a new husband and Dad, is releasing “Make Heaven Crowded”, after enormous urging and requests from fans, fellow artists, songwriters and friends. “Make Heaven Crowded” was written by Swindell, Greylan James, Joel Hutsell, Blake Pendergrass and produced by James and Zach Abend.

“Being a new dad with a fresh perspective on the world, I was inspired by Erika’s [Kirk] speech, “ said Swindell. “A phrase I had heard before but I hadn’t heard it in a moment like that. It literally stopped me in my tracks and ultimately moved me to write ‘Make Heaven Crowded’. The heartbreak I felt, and still feel, for her and their kids was so heavy thinking about my wife and baby girl. I knew I had to get those feelings out of my heart and head and down on paper. But when I released a social clip of performing a few of the lyrics, the response was unlike any reaction I’ve ever had to a song. It’s truly amazing what music is able to do, especially when real life inspires it. Writing songs has always been something that has helped me express thoughts and feelings and I don’t know if folks know how much it helps me when it connects and I know I am not alone in those same fears and feelings. This may be the most important song of my career, and I’m ok with that.

He added, “To be able to write this song with Joel Hutsell (one of my best friends and longtime guitar player) Greylan James ( co-wrote Forever To Me & Dale Jr.) and Blake Pendergrass is really special. As songwriters I feel like it’s our job to try to put things into words that could help someone

Swindell has been moved by so many of the events in the world over the past few weeks and months like so many others. The award-winning singer/songwriter has always expressed his feelings on many personal events in his life through his songwriting and through music.. Swindell first felt the power of what music could do when he heard Clay Walker’s “This Woman and This Man” for the first time as he rode in the car with his Mom as she was going through a divorce with his Dad- thinking those lyrics might help her. He then carried that healing power of music through his own songs such as “You Should Be Here” about the raw emotions over the loss of his Dad as well as more recently “Dale, Jr.” where he is still processing that loss. He wrote “3 Feet Tall” about his feelings of his parents’ divorce, to “Kill A Prayer” being a thank you to his Mom about all he put his Mom through growing up, to “Heads Up Heaven” about the heartbreaking passing of his Mom; tohis 13 th No. 1 single “Forever To Me,” a song he wrote for his new bride Courtney. Today he releases “Make Heaven Crowded” written about the kind of world he prays for for his family and his newborn daughter.
