Sarah, one of the most amazing people ever, sent me a late birthday present with the new CD by mewithoutYou, a beanie she crocheted for me, and Scripture from God. It was amazing. I've only met her once in my life and she may be one of my closest friends. Strange how that works, eh? In any case, on to the original reason I am writing.
Rarely had a band actually blown me away. Lyrically that is. It's easy for people who are really good musicians to blow me away. And really good musicians aren't as rare as good lyricists. But lyrics have to be astounding for me to be surprised. Even more for this band because the vocalist for mewithoutYou is not good... in any conventional sense. He is almost never on key, he is more of a beat poet that has a band. But it works. And what is more surprising is that they are super Christian. Not to say anything bad about Christian bands, but usually their lyrics are lacking depth to say the least. You can look up the lyrics if you want, but you should listen to the band too. Just because I said so. My recommendations are "Messes of Men" and "Wolf Am I! (And Shadow)" off of their new album Brother, Sister.
Now go. Discover something incredible.
Do it, now.
