Come Back Home

Once again, I'm procrastinating homework with this post. But I'm going to post it anyways. This next song is my Hosea inspiration song. I love, love, love this song. And I'm quite jealous that this amazing band wrote the song and not me, as it fits Hosea perfectly. Alas, I shall remain green with envy and simply enjoy this song. I hope you fall in love with the Icarus Account as much as I have.

Play Inspirations

So--in a brief respite from my homework--I've decided that I am going to share with you a few inspirational songs. Now, these aren't necessarily spiritually inspirational songs. Rather, these are the songs that I feel like capture some of the characters from my play. I will be posting songs about my four main characters of the play: HOSEA, MER, CHARLES, and SUZANNE. For those of you who don't know, this play is set in the 1920s and is about a pastor, Hosea, and his wife, Mer, who has blemished past. She doesn't fit in with the church she's a part of and no one will let her forget her past. Add to that, family tensions, a busy husband, and an old fling...well, let's just say it's a mess in the making.

Therefore, this first song is a Mer song. Talented and beautiful, she is torn between her commitment to her husband and the charming old friend who has suddenly walked back into her life. A friend of mine showed me this song and I fell in love with it (and the group who performs it). I felt it perfectly captured the heart of Mer. Not gonna lie...I wish I wrote it.
