Every man's a sinner

So mewithoutYou's new album has arrived, it shocked me at first but it is beautiful. I found this review which pretty much says everything I would. Though I disagree with the fact that he says the album's not much of a grower, it's really growing ojn me and I think you need to give it time http://www.sputnikmusic.com/album.php?reviewid=30591

As I seem to remember happened when "brother, sister" came out, songs were inspired with in me and I just started to write.

I have one finished (i think) and one which I'm working on. I'll post the lyrisc to the first one now, there's no music to it yet. The second one is a working progress but I'm excited about it. There's music ideas and lyrics which I hope will cause thought. It's inspired by a mixture of moses, corinthians and people. I jokingly promised a friend I'd write them a song and that's it, but it's not just theirs, it's dedicated to a group of friends and most of all G-d. I will post that later anyway and hopefully at some point record it, but for now this is the one I've finished, lyrically at least.

Every Man's A Sinner

Every man's a sinner and sinners don't get far.
I'm a man no different so I just keep staring at the stars.

Denial is a trainwreck but freedom is a gift,
like a burden that we brought ourselves and then gave you to lift.
You carry it willingly but we still bend beneath the strain.
We cut ourselves and blame you for the self inflicted pain.

Every man's a sinner and sinners don't get far.
I'm a man no different so I just keep staring at the stars.

I call my life a love song then sing it out of tune.
I tell you that I love you when I've not prayed since last June.
I just keep walking through this darkness, my eyes fixed on me.
There's so many lights shining down but it's only me I see.
That's why you found me out here sat in this field alone,
crying to my sister down the telephone.
She's the only one who seems to listen to a word I say
but she's lost in hope and love a thousand miles away.

Every man's a sinner and sinners don't get far.
I'm a man no different so I just keep staring at the stars.

It seems that we constantly forget what it's all about.
How we're vessels of love to him and each other, so open up and be poured out.



Just a final thought. Today I went with a friend to visit and put flower on her mothers ground. I've never really thought through a graveyard with an intention of doing so, I've never stopped and thought, but something hit me as I did. Eventually we will become a stone in the ground, but will we leave anything else behind? Rumi said and Stephen Christian beautifully and contextually qoutes something along the lines. "Make for yourselves a grave not in the ground but in the hearts of men." Meaning make what you leave behind more than a stone in the ground. Leave something in the hearts of those you have the power to do so. Leave love, today love unconditionally, freely and joyfully. Love in a way that will never be forgotten.

Peace
