Throughout the writing of this entire album, it was continually revealed that every detail of my life was taken care of and I need fear nothing. I've tried to predict how my life was going to go, but it has always been different and leagues better because I am loved by a King.
lyrics
Miraculously, I'm standing right here, unaware and yet fully alive. The in between canyons I see from my window, patiently, they purely abide. If you asked me at twenty one what happens next, I'd begin reciting my plans. Yeah, I could make guesses in my self preservation. I’d explain it the best that I can. Well, I'd be a fool to say I'll predict anything, like a tide we will ride in no reason. And every day since then, I’ve got tragedies invented with a voice that’s not mine or yours and they’ve taken their places, and all my premonitions are weightless in light of a life worth living. Well I'd be a fool to say I'll predict anything, like a tide we will ride in no reason. There is a progression, a flawless procession, like a bride walking down the aisle, like a river that runs to the ocean, with expectations resolved to weakness as the white of the tide. Providence is the ocean. Providence is the ocean and I’ve buried my head in the sand. I'd be a fool to say I'll predict anything, like a tide we will ride in no reason. There's a progression, a flawless procession, like a bride walking down the aisle, like a river that runs to the ocean, with expectations resolved to weakness as the white of the tide.
I've been watching this band and their head writer, Jillian, since around 2010. Quirky melodies up there with Fiona and Regina. Piano pop at its finest. Brandon Wadley
