Luyện nghe bài hát Rail

Definitely not the usual way to start an album, but by this time we were doing things our own way, and not for booming record sales. The song was written as is (long intro and all), but the decision to put it at the beginning of the album came later. We weren't concerned. If anything, 'Rail' has a definite vibe of The Cure, one of our favorite bands growing up (except Jesse). 'Rail' still remains as one of my very songs.

This was a difficult song lyrically. I struggled for some time with the chorus. Not writing it, mind you, just accepting that it was "ok" to sing that. At this point, all of us except for Jesse were married. When you get married (or engaged) it often throws you for a loop... and this song shows some of that. The first few lines (Jesus tie these hands...) speak of the wrong decisions that I had made in my previous relationships. Relationships that should never have been. I ended up hurting a lot of people, including myself. And, although this song focuses on struggle, it really speaks to our lives in general when we don't heed the Word of God.

tie these hands
I to think
every thing I touched
turned
but it
it cold

and reason guides man
spring, and fall
and to sand
I sway, I sway,
I stand

do I do,
when it seems I to Judas
more You
and I ever
I ever
see the end...

Jesus me see
not about consequence
it's
and I won't
on my own

and grace is me
It's true I feel, I know it's
but will I
I believe
