Soloist. Songwriter/singer. ASCAP member. A NICE WITNESS FOR CHRIST There is an extensive interview of me done by Scott Crawford, at . Do not let the site name alarm you. It is an "adult-themed music and entertainment" site. It is not a porn site, and you will not get tagged for spam if you go there. Scott is a journalist of integrity, who asked pertinent and penetrating questions, then printed my answers verbatim. Both God and His son received much attention in the interview. REVIEWS: "Fancy keyboard playing is the backdrop for this positive and upbeat collection. Hackley's vocals are reminiscent of Burl Ives." Review by Brent Castillo, The Wichita Eagle, March 5, 2005. "world's wimpiest Christian rocker". Brother Russell Podcast; : INFLUENCES (a very lengthy list, ending with...) "and of course, Richard Hackley." "Yet the songs on the Worst of the Worst can be compelling in their awfulness. Songs like Richard Hackley's rabble-rousing, hackles-raising spiritual God's Backhand ("We're not talking about tennis or Ping-Pong!") "; "Richard Hackley... HUGE musical influence. And a real bad mofo live.";

Story behind the song
A local dance teacher asked for some music written in unusual time signatures. The music for this song came out of that request, and is in 5/4 time. Originally it was an instrumental. But the upbeat & postive sound invited an uplifitng Biblical message to go with it. I experimented with several a few different lyric lines, until I found one that fit well.
Lyrics
v.1 Adam and Eve sort of ruined it for man. But God had a secret alternate plan... (chorus) Christ paid the debt But that was just half of it. No one knew, it would be... Christ in you, Christ in me. God sent His son, But there was still more to come... Christ in you, Christ in me. v.2 How man has tried to redeem his own soul. But no way could man ever reach such a goal. So... (chorus) (bridge) Safe in the mind of our God was a secret scheme. Plans to restore even more than we'd ever dreamed. Plans to invite man to join heavens family. v.3 Now where you go, Christ goes there, too. You can't lose him. He can't lose you. (chorus)
