I'm not sure your meaning was all that sly, Rob! I look forward to it as I've heard of them but don't think I've heard any of their music. Thankfully the entire album you've referenced is available for listening on my Real Rhapsody account. Yay! Looks interesting, I’ll have to check it out later when I have more time.

The song itself is relevant to everyone. I just connect with it right now personally as a guy. :) It’s all good, Ciera. The song itself is relevant to everyone.

I get strange looks when I say I like the group <i>Delirious?</i>. "they're a Christian group?" - - I've lost count of how many times I've heard that!!! I liked the lyrics of the song above though, even though I'm not a guy - - - hope that's ok!!! {{smiles goofily}} I’ve never heard of them.

There's something that resonates within your soul when that happens. I love when you can find music that speaks to where you’re at.

Anyway, I have to agree with your assertion that these are great lyrics, but we will have to agree to disagree that these guys have a good sound (at least on this song). I listened to it three times and liked it a little better each time. I would still call it "pop", but I wouldn't call it trite. But, then again, we have seldom agreed on music. Let me drop a dime and talk with my good buddy Bono and see if he and The Edge can't trick this up a bit ;) I saw the "starlight and sunbeams" as a reference to the relentless and seemingly accelerating passage of time -- but I am mulling your assessment... I like the tie-in with the Proverbs...the song reminded me a great deal of Eccesiastes (my favorite book of the Bible -- I find it extremely encouraging, oddly enough) -- and as far as the "test" mentioned in the song I am reminded of Ecclesiastes 12:13-14. Rob,
