Another goodern from JC’s latest album, RCVRY.
DISTRESS SIGNAL
(major against minor / breaking the glass case / where are you?)
words and music: Casella
Brother I can’t do this anymore
Your silence is killing me
Hiding major against minor chords
You disappear right in front of me
And how am I supposed to take it?
I’m already on my knees
And suspended in the distance
Between grace and gravity
Overcome by shadows of ourselves
Disguising our reflection
We could take the time to find our way
Across this disconnection
Because how are we gonna make it
If we both refuse to see
That we can’t go on erasing over
Every sad thing?
I want to trust you but you’ve lost all control
(Where are you?)
Nobody holds you like the hand of God

“Goodern” indeed. Thanks Barliman. You need to come down to Atlanta to promote your book. I’m going to send the Davis-Kidd link to our bookstore manager at Perimeter Church. I’ve been to that mall many moons ago when my father-in-law lived in Brentwood.
Feel free to ping them yourself and tell them I sent you http://www.perimeterchurch.org/index.php?module=ministry&submodule=cms&artid=440&mid=40870

I had to leave a response since I can’t believe that there are so few comments regarding this song. I’ve listened to it countless times and cannot fully explain it’s level of awesomeness. This is the song that hooked me from the start on Jeremy Casella’s incredible album. You guys in the Rabbit Room are like Pixar. Everything you all make is great.
Thanks AP and all the RR peeps for making this site. It’s refreshing to find somewhere that is much more then just surface stuff.
