This song carried me last year and even today it still reflects me.

Farther along we’ll know all about it

Farther along we’ll understand why

Cheer up my brothers, live in the sunshine

We’ll understand this, all by and by

Tempted and tried, I wondered why

The good man died, the bad man thrives

And Jesus cries because he loves em’ both

We’re all cast-aways in need of ropes

Hangin’ on by the last threads of our hope

In a house of mirrors full of smoke

Confusing illusions I’ve seen

Where did I go wrong, I sang along

To every chorus of the song

That the devil wrote like a piper at the gates

Leading mice and men down to their fates

But some will courageously escape

The seductive voice with a heart of faith

While walkin’ that line back home

So much more to life than we’ve been told

It’s full of beauty that will unfold

And shine like you struck gold my wayward son

That deadweight burden weighs a ton

Go down into the river and let it run

And wash away all the things you’ve done

Forgiveness alright

Chorus

Still I get hard pressed on every side

Between the rock and a compromise

Like the truth and pack of lies fightin’ for my soul

And I’ve got no place left go

Cause I got changed by what I’ve been shown

More glory than the world has known

Keeps me ramblin’ on

Skipping like a calf loosed from its stall

I’m free to love once and for all

And even when I fall I’ll get back up

For the joy that overflows my cup

Heaven filled me with more than enough

Broke down my levee and my bluff

Let the flood wash me

And one day when the sky rolls back on us

Some rejoice and the others fuss

Cause every knee must bow and tongue confess

That the son of God is forever blessed

His is the kingdom, we’re the guests

So put your voice up to the test

Sing Lord, come soon

RandomSongForTheWeek#46 - Josh Garrels - At The Table

Josh Garrels’ voice is a true one-off in the singer-songwriter genre, rich with melody and heart. The folk instruments (such as mandolin and accordion) and pulsating rhythm provide this song with a nautical and outdoors feel. This supports the marvellously simple but compelling lyrics about there always being a place for the son at the father’s table, no matter where he is returning from. Take that as you will - Garrels’ music is always so delicately composed that it’s almost impossible not to enjoy.

White Owl - Josh Garrels

White Owl by Josh Garrels. I randomly found this beautiful hunting track, when I misclicked on the Bandcamp's front page. I don't really know what genre i would call it, but i think the best word to describe it is melancholic, there is something about the strings that just makes me sigh and close my eyes. Josh is not an artist i am familiar with, but from his website i know that he is from Portland, Oregon and describe himself as a folk artist, although I'm not sure I would call White Owl folk. Anyway, that's this week's recommendation, i hope you'll enjoy this wonderful song as much as i did.
