NMC Album of the Month 3

GHOSTS UPON THE EARTH
So I just wanted to completely focus on this new Album that Gungor released. It really is a masterpiece. My hope is that you can all get a chance to hear it at some point. If you have the chance to pray through or with this entire album I would highly suggest it. It isn't catchy like the first album Gungor released (beautiful things), it's actually more cinematic and storytelling by nature. 

This video accurately describes the album:

Also to those attending Franciscan University of Steubenville, I requested that the bookstore order copies of this album AND THEY DID! So you can grab the physical cd if you chose, it's totally worth it.

Music Quote:

"WHAAOO! For heaven's sake I see right through you!
WHAAOO! I've got secrets too.
Your a gun,
And I can be your bullet to bite down on.
Take your best shot cause you only got one...
...But I'll stitch my eyes wide open
Cause I don't want to miss the look on your face
When I drive away
You know you're sharp
But sharp just doesn't cut it anymore
I'll show you a side of me you've never seen before"
~Son of a Gun by Search the City

Quote: 
"Are you hiding secrets from me? 
Is there more to this life that I can't see? 
What will I find out over time, waiting for the moment to arrive? 
Why are you lying there? 
What are you hiding there?...
Hide awaaay! 
Why do you hide away from me? 
Hide yourse-e-elf! 
Why do you hide your face from me? 
I'm the only one that can save you now! 
I'm the only one that can save you now..." 

Pray Tell by Anberlin

Music Quote: From The Sonrise by Luke Spehar
"And it's worth staying alive during the night to see the dawn. 
And it's worth staying alive during the day to see it gone. 
When nothing else holds you and you don't know how to carry on. 
Stay alive just to see the sun."
