Country/Review Chase Wimberly - Seize the Day

“Seize the Day” is a heartfelt slice of classic country storytelling from Chase Wimberly, a 54-year-old correction officer whose true calling shines unmistakably through his songwriting. Inspired by the timeless voices of Alabama, Kenny Rogers, Dolly Parton, and Don Williams, Wimberly taps into the golden-era tradition of narrative-driven country — the kind that paints vivid pictures and speaks directly to the soul.

The track carries the warmth and sincerity of someone who has lived a full life and learned to cherish its fragile moments. Years of notes, memories, and half-formed lines finally came together one night, and that slow-brewed authenticity is felt in every lyric. “Seize the Day” is less a slogan and more a philosophy, delivered with a gentle insistence that tomorrow isn’t promised, and today deserves our presence, gratitude, and courage.

Musically, the song leans into classic country textures — steady acoustic strums, warm melodic phrasing, and a vocal delivery that feels lived-in rather than polished. There’s humility in it, but also conviction. Wimberly’s storytelling feels personal yet universal, the mark of someone deeply influenced by the greats who raised him from a kitchen radio.

“Seize the Day” is a reminder that it’s never too late to follow your passion, and even quieter voices can leave a lasting echo.
