about
This was written in the midst of a situation affecting close friends. It was written very quickly one evening when I was meant to be rehearsing for a gig, but I’d just taken a phone call and was given pause. I’d written the music some months before, but that night it came back to me. I suppose it was my way of processing what was going on.
It’s a song that acknowledges pain and creates space to be real. It helps me mourn with someone who is mourning, and to use it as a prayer. But hopefully it also communicates care. It’s a song with a pastoral purpose. It could be used as one of those songs that gets occasional and very specific use in a gathered context for a particular purpose. Chances are that it will be relevant to someone reading this: I hope it provides a safe space for you, and points you to connect with good friends who can hold your heart until the bruising’s gone.
lyrics
He’s broken your heart
He’s taken your breath away
I know the pain keep crashing like the waves
Please don’t feel that you’re alone
We’ll hold your heart for you
Until the bruising’s gone
The sea keeps on calling
A lonely ocean
Tomorrow’s dreams have been cast down deep
