the sound of this track was heavily influenced by Beck's Sea Change record and the Bible...
lyrics
Psalm 23 by mc
You are my King - I shall not want
Whether I’m rich or poor Your mercies I’ve got
You lead me down beside the stream
Tell me to rest awhile in the meadows of green
Surely goodness and mercy will follow me
Surely goodness and mercy will follow me
Surely goodness and mercy will follow me
All my days All my days
You fix my soul - You take my blame
You lead me to righteousness for the sake of Your name
Yea thou I walk through times of tears
You walk beside me gently calming my fears
You set me up with food and drink
Anoint my head with oil - You fill me over the brink
Surely goodness and mercy will follow me
Surely goodness and mercy will follow me
Surely goodness and mercy will follow me
All my days All my days
I will live in Your house forever
I will dwell in Your courts forever
I will walk in Your light forever
I will worship You now and forever
it's such a beautiful album of grieving and loss and acceptance. it speaks to a particular kind of grief -- not a grieving of one who is lost, but the grieving for one who is still present and still causing pain. i love the last song most because while it could end in pain, or end with the narrators decision to permanently push this person out of their life and that would be justified, it doesn't. instead, it offers something. what is offered? acceptance. hope. and a chance for redemption janmisha
This album is perfect-my new favorite shalom sesh! I could listen to this all day, with tea, The Word, near a body of water as the peace of God washes over me. HalleluYah! I really like the lo-fi sound it reminds me of classics(JDilla, even Air). I can certainly feel the inspiration from Japan in this. The more I listen to JO the more I feel his love for Yeshua and it fills me so much love too. Glory to Abba for this beautiful work of art! It is soul medicine:) Shalom shalom Yaaqova
