There are moments in your life when you realize you have witnessed or experienced something significant, something life changing.
Now many know that I LOVE Music. Ok well I am obsessed with it, so when I was introduced to a song 3 weeks ago, I listened with open ears and an open mind. The song was not written by a famous artist. The band is not signed to a major label. But the words are real, the melody touches your soul, and the truth speaks freely. I cried the first time I heard it. I listened again and cried some more. I put the song on repeat and just kept listening. I have listened to this song at least once everyday for 3 weeks.
There was a sense that I was hearing something important, something that felt true to the deepest place in me. Who can say why we love something or feel something? There is something about hearing or seeing or feeling something that is true.
Ring the Bells" is the title track on an EP The band is called SATELLITE and Steven is the singer. The song is a love song and a fight song and it is perhaps also a prayer. It is urgent and heavy and beautiful and powerful and I hope it finds you like a friend.
I listen to this song and imagine a giant party of my best of friends. Singing, laughing, loving, living, celebrating....
My hope is everyone listens to the song, not just hears it but listens to it. Watch Steven performing it and you may understand the passion of this song.
Thought you might like the lyrics
Ring The Bells
Find the words that make it right again
Calling birds help you make it through the night
It's just enough to find a way to open up again
and learn to taste all the beauty that's inside
Well ring the bells that lead you home
cause the only truth i've ever known
is that nothing ever hurts us more than love
so circle up your best of friends
and we'll celebrate the way it ends
Atleast we live tonight
Atleast we live tonight
Scream out loud
until you feel again
and hear the sound of how to heal an aching heart
and those that know you most
can help you to live again
so keep them close
as you're making your new start
Well ring the bells that lead you home
cause the only truth i've ever known
is that nothing ever hurts us more than love
so circle up your best of friends
and we'll celebrate the way it ends
Atleast we live tonight
Atleast we live tonight
The day you finally turn to dust
and finally hear your name
brings colors that will never fade away
Sometimes the best all of us
can still break down and still give up on love
but it's never gone
Calling birds help you make it through the night
It's just enough to find a way to open up again
and learn to taste all the beauty that's inside
Well ring the bells that lead you home
cause the only truth i've ever known
is that nothing ever hurts us more than love
so circle up your best of friends
and we'll celebrate the way it ends
Atleast we live tonight
Atleast we live tonight
Scream out loud
until you feel again
and hear the sound of how to heal an aching heart
and those that know you most
can help you to live again
so keep them close
as you're making your new start
Well ring the bells that lead you home
cause the only truth i've ever known
is that nothing ever hurts us more than love
so circle up your best of friends
and we'll celebrate the way it ends
Atleast we live tonight
Atleast we live tonight
The day you finally turn to dust
and finally hear your name
brings colors that will never fade away
Sometimes the best all of us
can still break down and still give up on love
but it's never gone
