Scott Riggan is a songwriter and world traveler who creates real music for real people. His latest single is a cover of Jason Gray's 2014 hit single, "Not Right Now" that suggests we hold off on the "help" while someone is in the thick of heartache.
"Why is it that our first impulse is to try to "fix" someone who is hurting?" asks Riggan. "We offer advice or scripture, or we tell them about our own experiences. We're in a hurry for them to heal from their sorrow or grief. I relate strongly to this song because it resonates deep within my soul. I hope it resonates with you."
The lyric video, releasing Thursday, September 8, is premiering now on NewReleaseToday. Watch below.
“More than ever before, I’m writing the songs that I personally need to hear,” continues Scott Riggan, who returned to music after a 12-year hiatus. “I’m at a stage of life that’s marked by looking back and cataloging my successes and failures, hopes and dreams and regrets. It's a deep reservoir for writing songs that are specific to me as an artist, but that also resonate with other people."
In his long career as an indie artist, Scott has toured the globe (four continents and counting!) playing his music for new friends far and wide. He's had a #1 hit on Christian radio (along with other Top 20 songs) and received honors from the Dove Awards and the John Lennon Songwriting Contest. A worship pastor in Idaho, Scott lives on a small ranch with his family.
