About
Deeply emotive male vocals deliver soaring runs over syncopated bass grooves and punchy horn accents, evoking raw heartbreak and spiritual yearning. Call-and-response patterns intertwine with lush gospel-inspired harmonies in the uplifting chorus, anchored by warm organ swells and a tight live band rhythm section. Analog tape saturation and natural reverb infuse the production with authentic 1960s Stax-era soul energy and dynamic emotional range.
Lyrics
Oh yeah Whispers in the dark Calling my name Shadows on the wall Your laughter echo Oh God It burns me still Chase away the chill Put the fire in my heart It burns me still Every tear I cry Searching for you Searching for the light On this lonesome road Oh my soul is crying Broken into love You left me shattered What am I to do? Faith is my anchor Pulling me through Redemption's calling Gonna make me new Yeah, make me new Memories like chains Wrapped around my chest Washed in the river As we walk together Feel so cold and bare Whispers of your goodbye Reaching for the stars Reaching for the stars Oh my soul is crying But it's healing now But it's healing now Try to break me Faith is my anchor Shining somehow Redemption's here I'm rising proud Yeah, rising Whispers turning to shouts Yeah, yeah Gonna make me new New Gonna make me new But hear my pleading Lift this weight from me Washed in the river Set my spear by anchor No more hiding Oh, oh, oh I'm rising proud Yeah, rising proud Whispers turning to shouts Yeah, yeah I'm rising proud Gonna make me new Gonna make me new Gonna make me new Gonna make me new Gonna make me new Gonna make me new Gonna make me new
