Music Box- Thrice

STOP!
Before you listen to this song, read the lyrics.
At least SCAN through them people.


"we move for all mankind, a million miles from everything we've ever known.
we're on their hearts and minds, a million heads are bowed to bring us safely home.
hemmed in by emptiness, a million ways that everything could be undone.
this hollow in my chest is filled with reasons not to sing but I found one. I know

we are not alone, we feel an unseen love.
we are sons and heirs of grace.
we are children of a light that never dims.
a love that never dies, keep your chin up child.
and wipe the tears from your eyes.

in sleep we saw ourselves, a million years we had been waiting there it seems.
while someone weaves a spell, a million stars look on in witness to our dreams. I know

we are not alone, we feel an unseen love.
we are sons and heirs of grace.
we are children of a light that never dims,
a love that never dies, keep your chin up child
and wipe the tears from your eyes.

we feel an unseen love.
we are children of light.

we are not alone, we feel an unseen love.
we are sons and heirs of grace.
we are children of a light that never dims
a love that never dies, keep your chin up child
and wipe the tears from your eyes.

stand ready and tall, reflect the light."

Gorgeous song right?! It's basically all about being Children of God and shining the light we have.
NOW, clear your mind of all judgments, and listen to the song.
Super cool right! I know what some of you might be thinking. If you are anything like I was a few years ago you are thinking "Ew. Yell-ish loud music."
Think again! These guys are NOT screaming their guts out and yelling as loud as possible. You CAN understand what they are saying.
They have a music style that they enjoy AND are amazing at playing. They write and sing about what they are passionate about. One reason I love Thrice.
It's true, I don't like ALL of their songs, but they have a lot of songs about Christ or are Christ based.
:) I hope you enjoyed.
