Winter ... Beauty in Dying
Posted February 04, 2008
By BassAngelMLS,
This album invokes in you a sense of loss. But nevertheless it is still as beautiful as Fall. The lyrics intertwine hope with uncertainty, love with death. Its very subdued and it deals with loss in its many forms ... from a person's life coming to an end, dying to self, to a relationship coming to an end.
The saddest song on the album by far is ... "Somebody's Baby." It's the story of so many peoples' lives. It pricks our very souls ... and in a way it softens them because knowing that she/he is someone's ... means she is worth something. And somewhere someone is mourning the loss of this unknown ... definitely in heaven, she is someone's baby girl. It makes me want to cry ... for the vast sense of loss ... not only for the people who knew her, but for her. She is many people ...
With "White As Snow" ... there is a spark of hope after the utter hopelessness of "Somebody's Baby." It's a cry in the dark ... for help.
In "I Am Still Running" ... it speaks of not giving up. You didn't expect it to be this way ... but you know your only hope of surviving is shelter in the loving arms of God.
"In Love" ... has a asian, middle eastern flavor to it. It's like a taste of spring in the dead of winter. And it leaves you with hope. The song ends as if God is telling you ... its time to awaken. " ... my love, my bride, my love
This cross, my love, is mine, my love, to bear, my love, it's time, my love"
Over all this album is soothing with its acoustic sound. The lyrics are open and honest; they cause you to think about your life or the lives of others who cross your path. I can't wait to see what spring brings :) View All Music And Book Reviews By BassAngelMLS | View BassAngelMLS's Profile
