Savior

The song Savior was actually the first ever track that we have recorded in this album . The song talks about how we suffer different trials and problems in life. How we are in search of that someone who could cure the sadness that we feel and help us find our way back when we are lost. For those who are less in faith, or those who are yet to discover their faith in God, this song is a declaration of his presence in our lives. Once we find him, we have this overwhelming presence that fills our heart with so much joy that could even reduce us to shed tears of happiness. And hopefully to make a decision to live our life for God. This song is aptly titled Savior for the simple reason that God, whether we have noticed it or not, will always be the ultimate savior in our lives. The only one who could redeem and save us from whatever troubles that we are in. So it is quite fitting that Wilbert infused a rocking sound to it, giving it a more anthemic approach. Originally though, the first recording of savior was a bit stripped down. Simple strums minus the hard rocking sound that it has today. This particular recording never made it to the album. We saw it fit that Savior should be a rock sounding song anyway.

My Love Song

My Love Song was the second track that we accomplished in the album. The melody of the song is pretty quite bouncy. An upbeat song that hopefully wishes to express a sincere love for God and the people that we love in our life. The song talks about a certain moment in our life when we are introduced to someone whom we never even thought existed. Now this someone turns to be a person who is capable of loving us completely. And upon knowing the kind of love that we have never felt before, we are slowly being lured to this kind of love. Slowly falling in love with this person. There is no other kind of love in the world that is capable of surpassing Christian Love. This song is all about Christian Love. Christian Love teaches us about sincerity, it teaches us about sacrifices, the genuineness of what is in our hearts. The songs teaches us to fall in love with God for the simple reason that he is there giving his love to us unconditionally. Actually, there is a semi-acoustic recording of this song sang by Wilbert. We didn’t include it in the album because we are saving it for future use. And we also thought that My Love Song should be bouncy enough. Love after all is bouncy.

Earthbound Angel

Brand New Day

This was the last song that we have accomplished in the album. This was the hardest song that we finished because Wilbert was in a rut when he tried creating the melodies for this song. I on the other hand was shuffling different melodies in my head. When I finally presented the melody I had in mind to Wilbert, he waited no time in arranging it. We are quite satisfied with the way Brand New Day turned out. The music is so fresh, very modern and pop-rock at its best. The song is about the discovery that we have an assurance of a better future with God’s love in our life. It has always been our desire to find a better tomorrow in our lives. We wish that we would have a better future ahead. We can only attain this if we have God in our life. His immense love for us is a proof that the future will be bright. It may not be bright always, but his love alone is a proof that there is something to be hopeful for in this life.
