Last week, Steve sang about Christmas. This week, Chris sings about advent. Sorry folks, there's no escape. Also, in a 52 song project first, this week's recording is taken from a live performance. We hope you enjoy it. Song Discussion CHRIS: If you ever wonder how long we spend per song (or even if you don't) I want to tell you that simply to open this file, edit the start and end points, save it and convert it into an mp3 took 30 minutes. This song project would have been a lot easier if I'd invested in a new computer. Anyway, I can't think of a worse way to mark the death of Christopher Hitchens than to share with you this song that I wrote at the request of my minister and performed in church last week. It's based around Mark 1, which was the reading last week, and it was sandwiched between two short sermons. (You can listen to that full segment--the two sermons and the song--here.) And, being late for work, that's all I have to say about that. Lyrics Listen closely now To all the wrong sounds Trying to hear Listen closely now The lost will be found The far will be near She’s been calling in the wild She’s been calling in the wild Listen closely now Straighten the path Make way prepare Listen closely now The one you would search soon will be here She’s been calling in the wild She’s been calling in the wild To prepare for meek and mild She’s been calling in the wild Listen closely now Credits Words and Music: Chris Tindal Chris Tindal: Guitar and vocals
