NASHVILLE STAR ALUM SINGER DAVID ST. ROMAIN TO RELEASE NEW ALBUM IN APRIL

Tearjerker "Twenty Years Late" Currently Impacting Country Radio

It's not often that a song comes around that makes you want to download it to a disc, wrap a big bow around it, and say, "Hey, mom, this is how I feel," but that's exactly what country singer and "Nashville Star" finalist David St. Romain has done with his new single, "Twenty Years Late" from his new album, All I Really Wanted To Say, which was released April 19 via Aria Records Nashville.

The soon-to-be-classic, which went to country radio earlier this month just in time for Mother's Day (May 8), goes like this:

Hey mom I know that it's late

Hope I didn't wake you

Everything is okay, I just need to talk to you

Today I had one of those days

But I didn't call to complain

Just to say everything that I didn't through all of those years

You were a taxi cab driver, a nurse and a maid

A waitress a cook and a shoulder to lay my head on

To cry on when nothing was going my way

You knew every answer without cracking a book

What I took for granted that I had it so good

And I'm sorry it's taken me so long to say, thank you, I love you, twenty years late

St. Romain explains the origins of the song: "This song is a genuine look at many mother/son or mother/daughter relationships. We, the sons and daughters, often forget how much our mothers have done for us throughout our childhood and as we grow older and have our own children, we realize how much we miss about those childhood memories. Every time I sing this amazing song and my Mom is there, we are both in tears by the second verse. It makes it hard to finish the song without a hint of laughter between the two of us."

"Twenty Years Late" is just one of the many heartfelt songs on the 12-track album All I Really Wanted To Say. The collection also features the self-penned "That's Love," which is an emotional tale of hard working people's everyday sacrifices to provide for their families. The married father of two donated 100% of the proceeds to an organization near to his heart, the National Kidney Foundation of Middle Tennessee.

While "Twenty Years Late" will be serviced to radio in time for Mother's Day, the track is available now at his website at www.davidstromain.com. He will be promoting the single at the Country Radio Seminar (CRS) in Nashville.

St. Romain, who hails from Alexandria, Louisiana, was discovered while competing on the country music reality show, "Nashville Star," where he placed third on season five in 2007. His time on the show made country music critics nationwide take notice, including the New York Times, which wrote, "… with a smoky, R&B-inflected voice David St. Romain may be the show's most well-rounded entertainer."

Following CRS, St. Romain will be hitting the road for some shows and radio appearances including a very special date on March 22 where he has been invited to be one of the first artists to perform at "The Voice," a multimedia broadcast center and radio station, started by Ryan Seacrest as part of his Ryan Seacrest Foundation at the Children's Hospital of Atlanta. The station broadcasts to all the children's rooms in the areas three hospitals.

St. Romain will also be contributing original songs for a children's book by Tia Lynn, an Atlanta-based artist, which will be distributed to children in long-term hospital care whether for cancer or other chronic illnesses. More details to follow.
