Speakerheart Chosen as Digital Retailer for Radio Hit "Bring Him Home Santa"

Franklin, Tenn. — December 18, 2007 — Speakerheart™, an online platform for independent artists and bands to upload, promote and sell their own music and a subsidiary of PassAlong Networks™, has partnered with The Song Trust, Giantslayer Records and Capitol Records Nashville to promote "Bring Him Home Santa," a song featuring an unknown 6-year-old girl singing about a letter she wrote to Santa because she's missing her daddy at Christmas time.

"Every year dozens of new Christmas songs hit the radio during the holiday season," said Jozef Nuyens, CEO of Speakerheart. "But there is something so unique and innocent about 'Bring Him Home Santa,' it's not a typical holiday song. We are honored to work with the songwriters and label representatives to get this song in front of as many people as possible."

Visitors to BringHimHomeSanta.com and Speakerheart.com can download the song for $0.99. "Bring Him Home Santa" is currently the most added song on country radio and is this week's top track on Speakerheart. The song debuted at No. 58 on Radio & Records® Country National Airplay® chart during the week of Dec. 14th and the Billboard Hot Country Chart in the Dec. 22nd issue.

"Bring Him Home Santa" was written, recorded and released by The Song Trust, which includes songwriters Tim Johnson and Rory Feek. The song is not actually tied to any particular artist and features an unknown 6-year-old providing lead vocals. The songwriters also created a "song diary" that documents the journey this song has taken from the moment of creation, through the recording process, to the radio release and beyond. The song diary and other features can be found at BringHimHomeSanta.com.

"We started this endeavor with no expectations of what would happen," said Feek. "But it has become obvious to us that this song affects people on a different level. We are very thankful to Speakerheart for working with us to make this song available for download and we hope that it continues to spread and reach even more people."
