about
To add to the strangeness of these times, we decided this summer to work on a Christmas album, because why not? At first it felt silly, but as we dug into the content and sonic landscape of the songs we started to feel that these songs were beyond just a seasonal message. For us they felt like we were able to dig up a certain kind of hope in them amidst our national backdrop of personal, political and social unrest that was unexpected and welcomed. In this first single release “Lo How A Rose is Blooming” we found a solidarity in the traditional chorus lyrics that in the darkness we are in now, there is a hope blooming. I think that hope for us was a world where empathy and compassion are at the root of all our decisions. Whether it be in policy, how we listen to marginalized people groups, how we vote out toxic power or even talk to ourselves and our family. Like all our music we hope this song gives people something to hold onto like it has done for, even if it’s just a simple moment of respite from their burdens.
lyrics
Lo, how e’er rose is blooming,
from tender stem has sprung
Of Jesse’s lineage coming,
as all along was sung
Well it came, a flower bright,
Amid the cold of winter
When half spent was the night,
When half spent was the night
Isaiah had foretold it,
The Rose I have in mind;
With Mary we behold it,
The humble mother kind.
To show God’s love in sight,
She bore to us a Savior,
When half spent was the night.
When half spent was the night
Flower with fragrance tender,
that sweetness fills the air,
Holds with glorious splendor,
the light and dark we share.
Bring us at length we pray,
Ever rooted ever changed
And into the endless day!
And into the endless day!
