"Ayer’s effort has it all—tight arrangements, excellent musicality and imaginative lyrics. If you’re looking for great music, this is the Place indeed."
- Performing Songwriter Magazine
"This album has that controlled frantic pace, that almost feels like an album exploding from someone’s soul... A wonderful album, with some sparks of sheer creative bliss."
- Indie Launchpad
"This is the Place" shows a sophisticated level of maturity for a young singer/songwriter... he’s got everything working in his favor. Imaginative choruses and pop hooks that eschew pure infectious melodies. Grab on and hold tight."
– smother.net
"Part street poet, part armchair philosopher, indie singer/songwriter Chris Ayer will leave you smiling whether you feel like smiling or not. You gotta love this guy... This Is The Place is a delightful discovery."

Places I come from and ways that I've been
come at night telling me to give in
saying 'don't waste your time with this'
oh I know that they drown out my songs
trying to help but I know that it's wrong
so I won't waste my time with them
what I have found isn't easy to forget
I haven't lost, I just haven't won quite yet
but it's not far away, I'm waking up more each day
cuz I know, if this is the main event
just let me be awake for it
just let me be awake for it
I am alone and I don't make a sound
God, it feels like my friends are around
as I lie in my motel bed
when I tune in to the parts that connect
even the empty space can reflect
the part that never ends
what I have found isn't easy to forget
I haven't lost, I just haven't won quite yet
and it's not far away, I'm waking up more each day
cuz I know, if this is the main event
just let me be awake for it
this is your call to action
what are you waiting for?
what I have found isn't easy to forget
I haven't lost, I just haven't won quite yet
but it's not far away, I'm waking up more each day
cuz I know, if this is the main event
please let me know I've found what's not easy to forget
I haven't lost, I just haven't won quite yet and i know that
it's not far away, I'm waking up more each day
cuz I know, if this is the main event
please let me be awake for it
please let me be awake for it
cuz I want to be awake for it
I want to be awake for it
places I come from and ways that I've been
come at night telling me to give in
but I won't waste my time with them
