Song Saturday #14 - New NTB

Ok y'all. I love this new needtobreathe single almost as much as I love Bear and Bo's forearm tattoos.

Immediately you hear this driving kick drum, driving the song forward like a heartbeat. Then the guitar comes in, bright and acoutic and punchy and perfect. And dare I even mention the xylophone? No one else could possibly make a xylophone sound so cool.

The lyrics are as good as the music. There's something so unique about the way they infuse their faith into their songs - take a gander at this little gem:

All these victims stand in line for
The crumbs that fall from the table
Just enough to get by
All the while your invitation
Wake on up from your slumber
Baby open up your eyes

Their new album "The Reckoning" comes out September 20th. The countdown is on.

Now I know:
This song would make the perfect alarm to wake up to.



"Slumber" - NTB
Days they force you back under those covers
Lazy mornings they multiply
Glory's waiting outside your window
So wake on up from your slumber
Baby open up your eyes

Tongues are violent, personal and focused
Tough to beat with your steady mind
But hearts are stronger after broken
So wake on up from your slumber
Baby, open up your eyes

All these victims stand in line for
The crumbs that fall from the table
Just enough to get by
All the while your invitation
Wake on up from your slumber
Baby open up your eyes
Wake on up from your slumber
Baby open up your eyes

Take from vandals all you want now
Please don't trade it in for life
Replace your feeble with the fable
Wake on up from your slumber
Baby open up your eyes
Wake on up from your slumber
Baby open up your eyes

All these victims stand in line for
The crumbs that fall from the table
Just enough to get by
All the while your invitation
Wake on up from your slumber
Baby open up your eyes
Wake on up from your slumber
Baby open up your eyes

C'mon we'll sing like we used to
Dance when you want to
Chase for the breakthrough
Open wide

All these victims stand in line for
The crumbs that fall from the table
Just enough to get by
All the while your invitation
Wake on up from your slumber
Baby open up your eyes
Wake on up from your slumber
Baby open up your eyes
Wake on up from your slumber
Baby open up your eyes

C'mon sing like we used to
And dance like you want to
C'mon darlin' open your eyes
C'mon sing like we used to
C'mon dance like we want to
C'mon darlin' open up your eyes
