Fill your ears with every note
Direction seems the only hope
It's cloud and let's create now
Do no wrong

This song has been haunting me for the last day so I thought I’d share it. I love songs that I hear 3 lines of and know it’s going to stick in my head and play over and over until I really process what I think it means and what it makes me feel. This is one of those songs. I’d tell you how the band is, but I haven’t gotten past this one song yet to know. It makes me want to listen closer though, and bow my head quicker. It makes me want to watch for His presence and be a little more open about what I think and how I feel. All of that out of barely 4 minutes of sound. How can people not be affected by music?

One of my closest friends had a brain tumor 10 or so years ago. Following that surgery, she lost a large chunk of her memory from several years of her life. She remembers very little, but after hearing a song from an old CD the other day- she had memories that she hadn’t had for years. It’s amazing how music affects us. She seemed a little surprised when Jamie and I immediately told her it was because it was music. I guess it didn’t really surprise me, then again for better or for worse I think responsively in lyric way too much of the time. Anyway, thanks to Thirteen Senses for making me think a little bit today.


Do No Wrong

Satellites contain us
Traffic lights control us
Rocket, shoot us up into the skies
Rocket, shoot us up into the skies

Letters keep us posted
Numbers calculated
Nothing puts us up when we are down
Nothing puts us up when we are down

Complement the atmosphere
Fill the ground with all my tears
Drive them up to make them fear
Do no wrong
Complement the atmosphere
Fill the ground with all my tears
Drive them up to make them fear
Do no wrong

Strange surrounds each corner
Stains pollute the water
Something for us all to think about
Something for us all to think about

Summer sun protects us
Winter rains torment us
Now it seems to me we can't be free
Now it seems to me we can't be free

Close the door before it's late
We were born to love and hate
Turn it down for our own sake
Do no wrong
Fill your ears with every note
Direction seems the only hope
It's cloud and let's create now
Do no wrong

Common sense protects us
Everything affects us
To the outside light it's paradise
To the outside light it's paradise
