After the Storm

One of the most beautiful songs I’ve heard in years. It’s a song that gives me chills... goosebumps.  I think it gives me chills because its message is so perfectly on point with reassuring hope.  Hope is the message I receive when I listen. I like that it’s honest. The fear is understood, but the hope is what’s most important. I cannot listen to this song just once.  I wish I could find a video for this online, but it's powerful without a  visual.  No visual needed. 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Some of my favorite lyrics... from memory... I write this because it's not the entirety of the lyrics, but just what I'm connecting to.
 


Night has always pushed up day
You must know life to see decay
But I won't rot, I won't rot
Not this mind and not this heart, I won't rot
 
And there will come a time, you'll see, with no more tears
And love will not break your heart but dismiss your fears
Get over your hill and see what you find there
With grace in your heart and flowers in your hair

And now I cling to what I knew
I saw exactly what was true
But oh no more, that's why I hold
That's why I hold with all I have, that's why I hold

And I will die alone and be left there
Well, I guess I'll just go home, oh God knows where
Because death is just so full and mine so small
Well, I'm scared of what's behind and what's before

  1. Good band. I feel like music is making a big comeback. I'm really excited about some of these Americana type bands.
