Clay definitely sings this song with more soul and emotion than Natalie Grant's version....Natalie's version is okay in my opinion, but clay now owns this song....
I do wear a mask too, a scherade of my life that I'm fine, yet so broken from within. A lot of us, whether it be sexual orientation, a bad marriage, whatever it is, have to somehow, hide and wear that "happy mask" cause we need to for the good of those we care so much. I am lost for words, crying, and missing the real me......it's gone.
Nada borrara de mi mente aquel dia amor. Aprendi que el amor es solo uno, inmenso y muy fuerte si se quiere de verdad. Ese amor me lo das solo mi princesita.Estas siempre en mi corazon... TE AMO Valecita
I love this video. The combination of Clay's beautiful voice with the ebb and flow of the ocean is so soothing. Clay has never sounded better; you can really feel how much emotion he puts into this song.
As much as I like this version of the Real Me, I like the real one by Natalie Grant. This one is pretty good, tho...and it does pertain to his life I guess
My heart is so broken. I don't really hate him for being gay, it's just a disappointment that I believed in him so much and just had a different perspective of him. I have a big crush on him, I must admit. This song is really about his secret. I ache when I think about his struggle, I'm sure he's torn apart the first time he realized the truth. I love him for the human being that he is, compassionate, talented, very charismatic, and still so cute....God bless you!
Only you would think of something so brilliant. I agree with Clayday. It "fits" so perfectly, and the oddest thing is, I don't know why. It is just simplicity and beauty personified.
I love the entire Album, but this, this is my favorite, I guess because I see it as a prayer to the Lord Jesus. He's the only one who could see inside me, to "The Real Me". Thank you Gerwhisp for this Video, it's beautiful.
his version took out one of the most beautiful lines of the whole song. :( "you've taken the tattered fabric of my life and turned it into a perfect tapestry"
oo yes! I totally agree! I prefer Natalie singing this song -especially since it has a very big meaning for her and it was the most personal song she wrote (it isn't just any ol' song for her). -but Clay did do a nice job singing it, its just different and sort of loses the original meaning of the song (she wrote it about her past struggle with bulimia -and I don't think Clay has an eating disorder lol!). He does have a nice voice for it, though...

Now that he's out I wish RCA would release this as the second single. Under the circumstances it could be a hit.

Beautiful job Gerwhisp. Natalie Grant is a Christian composer, and this song is a worship song. Clay's voice and version "PERFECTION"! Thank you.
