Albums That Are Changing Me: Where The Light Shines Through

That feeling you know a seed must be feeling as it cracks open and the sprout works it's way free. This sounds like that.

Let's unpack that, see what I did there? You know it must be painful, forcing your way through to the light. But the pain has so much purpose that you almost find yourself smiling through it. Pleased to be enduring the process, because anything that hurts this wonderfully must be absolutely worth it.

Switchfoot's Where the Light Shines Through, there is so much here. Beautiful. I never know how scared I am till I hear my courage questioned/encouraged to a fantastic rock soundtrack, and they always deliver. I'm still not over the marvel of Hello Hurricane or the melancholy of Vice Verses (the albums and the songs). I grew up to these albums. Driving down dark two lane roads, weeping. So happy to be free of my sadness. And just like I grew up to those albums, I am growing stronger to this one. Peeling back layers of hurt and static, waving hello again to the dreamer I once knew. She's a little weary, a little worse for the wear, but also a lot better too. After all "the wound is where the light shines through."

Thank you Switchfoot...again,
