Luyện nghe bài hát Bittersweet

One of the most notable features of this is the haunting cello track by our friend, Phil Peterson. We wanted this track to be full of 'sounds', so we kept adding things and building it up. The result is a strangely emotional song.

We get persuaded by things that look right -- that look inviting. Though they may sometimes fill temporary needs, they can never fulfill us. If we then choose to chase after these things, we are left to with the results of our actions ("i gave and i gave and i gave 'til i'd nothing left except consequence"). In the midst of all of this, the chorus is dealing with the knowledge of our wrong actions ("why do we stand there in constant fear though so aware"), when what we need to do is turn to the Lord and throw these things down at His feet. Amen.

as as it was
or as as it seemed
like the most wonder
was just a dream

and it me all up
and it stirred me
but it me cold and wanting
cause it had no
oh, none to be

and i why
(know why i sell short)
and i why
(know why i my Savior small)
but it make me cry
me cry tonite

the beauty was
and so
my eyes alive and bright
to the blinding

and as i
to it more
i shivered and fell like a
to the floor
i was before

and i why
(know why i sell short)
and i why
(i my Savior small)
but it won't me cry
but it make me cry
(why do we there?)
in constant
near

as if my thought
and my only
i gave and i gave and i
till i'd nothing
except

and i why
(know why i myself short)
and i why
(know why i my Savior small)
i run to Christ?
i?
(why do we there)
in constant
almost
(why do we stand
without a
so aware
