Excellent

(Stanley Chris)

The song talks about the unfailing faithfulness of God. He keeps us safe in the valley of death (Psalm 23:4), and guides our way in the wilderness of life. He is the eternal God, and remains the same through every age; His faithfulness cannot change. Those are the ideas conveyed in the Verses. The Chorus is a confession of our faith in His character: mountains may fall, storms may roar, the sun may burn crazy, and the flames may come bursting in but, still, in the midst of it all, He remains God; He remains good. Because of the assurance of His presence with us in such difficult times, we cannot but cling to His love, and to the truth of His promises given to us in His Word. The Bridge magnifies His Name above all else, speaking of His exceedingly surpassing greatness, above that of anyone or anything else we may be tempted to put our trust in.

You guide my way
In the wilderness

Mountains may crumble down
Storms raise their voices loud

No Excuse

By Stanley Chris

The song tells the entire Gospel story in a nutshell. By submitting to the Father's will, as difficult as it was for Him, Jesus purchased remission of sins for the whole world on the Cross. As a result, in Christ, we have redemption (Ephesians 1:7). He also talked about the many mansions in His Father's house that He said He was going to make ready for those who receive the gift of salvation (John 14:1-3). Those are the main themes expressed in the two Verses. The end lines tell us the purpose for all this: so every nation and all creation can give high praise to God for His marvelous love towards us revealed in the vicarious sacrifice of Christ. The Chorus and Post-Chorus are a response showing our commitment to spread the news. This culminates in the Bridge which states that it's all for the glory of His Name, and that we are giving no excuses as we embark on this great commission.

Let All Redeemed

By Stanley Chris

The death of Christ on the Cross ushered us into liberty from the bondage of sin. The icing on the cake is that His ministry didn't end there; He lives on as our High Priest before the Father, interceding for us daily in order that He may present us to God blameless on the last day (1 Thessalonians 5:23). What a Gospel, one so glorious that He has entrusted us to take its message to those in our worlds so that they too can receive the blessings of its truth; to bring them home to love, faith and hope, the three eternal principles of the Kingdom (1 Corinthians 13:13). The other mind-blowing reality of this is that we have been raised with Christ to a position of authority where we rule in victory in His Name (Ephesians 2:4-6). These are the themes expressed in this song, and the Bridge invites all to bring high praise to the risen King who brought us back to God, and defeated man's greatest fear: the sting of deaths.

New Rules

By Stanley Chris

Times come when relationships go through turbulence of one form or another. Such are the flames which test the strength of our commitment to each other. This is the case in this song; the two lovers have just come out of a serious disagreement "so bruised." From it, the girl has come up with a lot of new rules; adjustments she wants the two of them to make, which are bound to turn the tables and rearrange their whole life. Earlier on she had said she was comfortable with the man calling the shots; now, with the changes she's proposing, her actions beg the question: was she really honest with herself when she settled for the way things have been? Among them, she wants them to stay low key, especially on social media, yet she wasn't as loud as the guy was. She also doesn't want him to tell her what to do, but had earlier said she wanted him to guide her, given he's older and has a lot more experience with relationships. She is also not comfortable with them going for hang outs at the guy's brother's place, where she had been comfortable before. Beside all that, she requires much more attention, raising issues with the guy being online and not talking with her, while he's there trying to find a job, which is something she had been pushing to do. Now she's left him "fears for the trust" he had before. What are her intentions? Is she putting one leg out? Or is she just taking it slow?

Irony

By Stanley Chris

Communication is one of the biggest challenges couples face. Most of the fatal issues that end up burying relationships are things that'd have been easily solved by a few minutes of honest conversation. That is the dilemma the persona in this song finds himself grappling with. In Verse 1 he alludes to the fact that the lover reacts quite negatively when they have arguments. He likes to pour his heart out, and says he doesn't want to measure his words. They had agreed to be brutally frank with each other should matters arise, yet when he uses that latitude to express himself, the other gets offended most times. In Verse 2 the same thought is followed up: she prefers to solve problems using parables and indirect references, forcing him to read between her lines to figure out what she's trying to say, and that often adds salt to the injury, when he finds himself unable to get her. The Chorus is a heavy confession: she puts him between a rock and a hard place, trying to choose between her fragile feelings and the naked truth. If it's all about protecting her from the hurt, then he loses his voice in situations where the truth would inevitably destroy her. The Bridge further intensifies the drama, buttressing the apparent irony in her actions. She's afraid to face the truth, and is conservative with it when it comes to her turn to speak.

No direction

By Howard Aronson

In the mid 80s until the mid-90s I was really into grunge music. Bands like tad, Green River, mudhoney, Pearl jam, Mother Love Bone, and Nirvana just to name some of them. So yesterday I wrote this lyric thinking back to when I was a teenager, and knew some of these guys in school that were like my lyric. I was a jock / athlete if you don't know what jock means. I definitely like the smoke pot before school, during school and after school but I wasn't an outcast, didn't wear black, and didn't see the world in such a dark way. Lyric is about that type of teenager, who's angry, full of frustration, is rebellious, and just wants a way out of the town he's living in the Life he's living in but doesn't know how. That's definitely a dangerous thing for this type of teenager.

Adieu

By Sherab Lhamo

A song in which love is compared to fighting a losing battle. War here is the relationship while the battles are the feelings. It’s when you do everything you can and realize there’s nothing left to give. So you accept defeat and bid farewell

Turn The Tide

By Steven Soucy

Turn the Tide is about war, fighting for your people and homes. The moment the aggressor learns they cannot defeat you. In honor of Ukraine and their people.

Dear Storm

By Karianne Gabaldon

A lyric about facing your toughest storm and begging for mercy; you cannot fight this fight anymore, so you’re giving up—throwing in the towel. You just want this heavy storm to pass.
