what else do you like about the singing?

that it's all poetry. which no one really pays attention to. but we're singing some of the oldest, loveliest spiritual poetry that the world's ever had.

yeah! i know those songs, but not how they translate. the melodies are what get me. how do they translate?

the translations are always... joyous. it's always about how there is nothing simpler to do but sing poetry and feel good. easiest thing in the world to be washed over with faith and beauty.
and that's when we get hit with very complex emotions. it's what we do with those emotions. feel good but don't over indulge. allow yourself forgiveness but don't see yourself as blameless.

did you just come up with that?

yeah. you'd think i were a writer or something.

write that down.

i DID.
