In the midst of the stress, anxiety, and worry of daily life, somehow, light, warmth, and radiance finds us in small and seemingly insignificant ways. A meditation indeed.
To those wondering about the message of the music, Derek said last night (as a part of the "Love Tells the Story" Tour) that the music is intended to be a meditation on the Lord's Prayer. There are 9 musical pieces, one for each of the 9 lines of the Lord's Prayer (includes the Amen). There is also accompanying art work and video.
@kb1686 but how is the meaning of each line of the Lord's Prayer expressed through each piece of music...I'm sure the art work and video help out---but do certain parts of each song..like the rhythm or flow or whatever....coincide with certain parts of the Lords prayer?----how does one actually compose a song for the word 'Amen" haha......I like the music a lot, and I'm a big fan of derek webb...but the concept confuses me a little
@stump325 Haha I suppose it takes a bit of imagination. It's not my project, it's Derek's. Lol.. It's an interesting idea though, and definitely pretty abstract.
@stump325 we have to challenge ourselves into understanding communication and art. Is there something communicated without words? I think so. So what is Derek communicating in this art? He's given a pretty big hint. The music is not trying to expound or explain that verse. It's just communicating that prayer in a different language.
Good stuff. I hear a bit of I see things upside down in this record. That might could work as another title for the model prayer!
