I've been listening to it almost non-stop this fall. Along with Ben Howard, who has already made an appearance here. I guess Mr. Garrels has as well come to think of it. Like I said, non-stop. For several months. It only makes sense that you'll hear about it over and over again because I'm playing it over and over and over again.
This song tickled me especially today however. I think it was just the use of the word, 'pilot' in this context. I love the way it sounds. Pilot me. As if I am a large, wooden, clumsy ship, cutting my way through dark massive waves, in need of someone to take the wheel. O wait, that's not a metaphor. All those things are true...
My favorite definition of pilot as a verb: to act as pilot on, in, or over. Again, I like the way it sounds. On. In. or Over. Steer. Guide. Take charge of.
Pilot Me
I will arise and follow you over
Savior please, pilot me
Over the waves and through every sorrow
Savior please, pilot me
When I have no more strength left to follow
Fall on my knees, pilot me
May your sun rise and lead me on
Over the sea’s, savior pilot me
O’ Lord
You can listen to it too.
The whole album in fact. It's FREE. And really, really, really fantastic.
