I got Edward Kowalczyk's first solo album, today. He was the lead singer of my other favorite band Live and after they broke up he, of course, had to go solo and let me tell you; it's the Ed I've come to know and love through his time in Live.
I've only listened to the album a couple of times, but I'm completely in love with 'Grace', which is also the first single from the album 'Alive'.
I'm gonna post the video, which is amazing! And then I'm gonna post the lyrics, just so those of you who care enough to read them, can see what an amazing lyricist Ed really is.
I think he touches something inside of me...something more spiritual than what I normally let people see. He's a very spiritual, almost religious guy and his songs are the same, even though they're anything but boring as some religious songs can be.
Anyway, enough of me rambling, here's the video:
And the lyrics:
Spend a little time standin' on the front lines
And you really can't talk at all
Your mind begins to wonder
Is there any love at all?
The photographs you took
Yeah, there was somethin' in their eyes
Every saint used to be a sinner
Every man used to be a child
You said it was all inside my mind
You were wrong
There was grace
You saw the enemy
I saw your face
People like you and I
Spinnin' through space
You were wrong
I still have faith
Everytime I feel the sunshine
I thank the lord up above
For seein' somethin' I
Couldn't see at all
Comin' down hard
The feelin's all gone
Where are we gonna hide?
My wings are feelin' clipped now
And all I wanna do is fly
Somethin's gotta give
Get up, stand up, see through it
Gotta get this message to you
You said life don't mean a thing
That there's no reason left to dream.
