I’m currently in a religion course here at Appalachian and EVERYTHING we’ve been talking about recently are summed up in this song. “For nothing will be impossible with God.” ~Luke 1:37 □ It’s a much lighter rock feel but still with awesome guitar riffs, a haunting melody, and Dunn’s amazing high range vocals. This is the one to play for your grandma. This is THE hardest song on the album so…carefully consider before playing this one for your grandma! Sometimes it’s the only thing that helps. Sometimes we are so broken and seemingly hopeless that the only thing to help us…is to scream His name. Can anybody see? You won’t believe your eyes! A stranger to me…you won’t believe your eyes.”īased on their personal experience and the book of Job featuring Ryan Clark, this song addresses our need for Christ even in our darkest hours. If I could just let it in, it’s just what I know that I’ve lost. The sounds…of color streaming down, is inches from the heart I hear. The subtle shades of gray, have all but found their way from here. More contradictions from this band…the hard rock sound with these beautifully hopeful lyrics! It fits perfectly anyway! This song paints a beautiful and calming picture of the hope we have for the future world we will view. This song contains the title in the lyrics so…title track? Anyway, the opening guitar riff in this song is melodic and outstanding. And I love Dunn’s voice on those high notes he hits on the chorus also! I love this song! The megaphone effect on the verses and then rapid fire lyrics on the chorus. Celebrating being happy with who and what you are. It’s about knowing who you are and finding joy in that. “I’m everything BUT lost cause I’m not alone”. However, they managed to perfectly capture the darkness and illuminate it with the hope of Christ in the end of the song. The lyrics seem to fully epitomize the broken-hearted feelings people have after losing a loved one. This song is the one that is most specifically about the bands personal tragedy this season. This is probably going to end up being one of my favorite songs on the album. Awesome rock beat with the perfect examples of lead singer Dunn’s vibrato on those higher notes he hits with crystal clarity. This song is a cry from Christ we hear less the further we stray from His path. “Wait…this intervention is mine…” This song is about an intervention for ourselves against letting preconceptions silence us. I love a hard metal song that starts off with a charming piano melody. If we are being cast out because we follow Christ…we are winning more than we could being part of the group. This song is as it says, an anthem NOT for…but from/of the lonely. Jeremy Dunn’s vocals are indescribable but outstanding and PERFECT for this style of music. I have not heard a lot of this band, but having just had my morning cup ‘o joe and plugged this in…I think I’m in love. A commentary on the pain life can sometimes bring and the way it can impact the world we view…(See what I did there)…this album has great potential. “Afterglow” came from the experience and so did the entire tenor of the album. While at dinner one night at the house of their two guitar players (Adam and Jonathan Jefferson) they witnessed the heart attack that killed their father. This proved to be a trying experience for the guys of Nine Lashes. They started out as an Indie band and in a “God Only Can” kind of way they signed on with Tooth & Nail Records ( Hawk Nelson, Icon for Hire, Sent by Ravens, Family Force 5, Anberlin, etc.) and have now released their sophomore album “World We View”.
