hello hurricane / you can't silence my love

So pleased, at home at the weekend, my copy of the new switchfoot album had just arrived! Hence, I have been listening to it pretty much non-stop ever since. I blogged about music that reminds me of places, this album is definitely going to stick with me as the soundtrack of my first weekend back in England in almost 3 months!

I think my favourite songs on the album are Your love is a song, Free, and Always… although they're pretty much all brilliant! I just think their music is amazing, I love Jon Foreman's voice, and the lyrics are so clever and beautiful and true! And it's great how their lyrics are Christian, and once you know that, it's obvious. But if you don’t, you can still appreciate their music.

Your love is a song:

I hear you breathing in / another day begins / the stars are falling out / my dreams are fading now, fading out / I've been keeping my eyes wide open / I've been keeping my eyes wide open / your love is a symphony / all around me / running through me / your love is a melody / underneath me / running to me / your love is a song / the dawn is fire bright / against the city lights / the clouds are glowing now / the moon is blacking out / I've been keeping my mind wide open / I've been keeping my mind wide open / your love is a song / with my eyes wide open / I've got my eyes wide open / I've been keeping my hopes unbroken

Free:

I've got my back against the wall / but I still hear the blue sky call / the chains that hold me back inside / are the prisons of my mind / free / come set me free / down on my knees / I still believe you can save me from me / come set me free / come set me free / inside this shell / there's a prison cell / I try to live the light of day / why would I do what I hate? / but when I try to reach above / I only hurt the ones I love / there's a hole in the neighbourhood / where the shadows fall / there's a hole in my heart / but my hope / is not in me at all / I had a dream that my chains were broken / broken, broken, broken open / free

Always:

This is the start / this is your heart / this is the day you were born / this is the sun / these are your lungs / and I am always yours / these are the scares / deep in your heart / this is the place you were born / this is the hole / where most of your soul / comes ripping out / from the places you've been torn / and it is always yours / but I am always yours / hallelujah! / I'm caving in / hallelujah! / I'm in love again / hallelujah! / I'm a wretched man / hallelujah! / every breath is a second chance / and it is always yours / and I am always yours
