Produced by Ben Harper in Los Angeles earlier this year, Christopher Paul Stelling's new single “Have To Do For Now” is a song about September. “It's about the fear of losing memories and the relief of letting memories go,” Stelling explains. “When imagination starts spinning out and we return to the center, back to the present, where everything is a bit calmer.
