A Love Song...

     Through a set of "internet circumstances" i.e. me following a bunny trail of links longer than I care to admit to. I came across an official "lyric" video for a song that I must admit I've never heard before.

     I find the advent of the lyric video somewhat rewarding, as a songwriter I've always prided myself on lyrical depth and content (The Lord knows my melodies were never anything to write home about). I once had an industry pro tell me that music is 90 percent emotion and 10 percent performance and content and I like to think Adobe After Effects and the lyric/typography videos have gained some ground for content in music.

     So, I wanted to share this video with you today from Christina Perri. I've scanned her website and there appears to be no hint of her speaking about her faith, a relationship with Christ, or even growing up in church. But as I read the lyrics, I couldn't help but draw the comparison not to a love here on Earth, but to our relationship with Christ and what He did to win us over, and humanities constant struggle to accept Him.
