This is another artist recommended to me by my amazing, intelligent, lovely, funny, sarcastic, dry framing/lawyerish friend, Jess. She's introduced me to quite a few artists over the past few years. And several of them have made their way into this series.
It was around this time last year...I think, that I first heard of this band. And this particular song. I don't remember where we were going, but we go in her vehicle and she wanted to share them. And I really liked it. Great sound, great lyrics. Very good music.
Song 68
"Let There Be" from Gungor's Ghosts Upon the Earth
This song just starts of with a quite calm intro. It slowly builds to amazing crescendo. The vocals sing in beautiful poetry about Creation. There is an ethereal glory to these lyrics and sounds. The building and developing of the song rises and intensifies gradually over the song.
Regardless of what you believe or don't believe...this song is captivating. It's not so much a normal song as a scene or rhythm to life. The whole build up leads to one almost quite word. There is description of darkness, and angels, and scrolls. But the word that triggers the explosion of sound is the rise of repeated refrains of, Let there be...let there be...let there be..............let there be...light
The music erupts like a star being birthed in darkness.
It gives me chills. Right now...goose bumps all over. It's chilling and electrifying. And as I've said early in this series, Autumn feels like the conception of Spring, and the beginning of all the new and life to come. What better representation of that that light breaking forth for the first time.
Let there be....
grace, peace + hope-Jesse
