Into the Fire

As a writer and an author, I have always paid attention to song lyrics, and more times than not I fell hard for those songs with unique or special lyrics to mesh with the great tunes. I know nothing about the band Alfred Hall except the two young men who started it are Norwegian, and they have put together what I consider a unique sound although I'm not on top of the current music scene and haven't been for years, having mostly abandoned secular music.

This particular song is called Someplace Beautiful and you might recognize the sound as the background for the Pacifico beer commercial on TV which is why I looked it up on YouTube. The sound just reeled me in and the words held me tight.

Their songs are "contemporary pop" which can be shallow or teeny-bopperish, but this song grabs me like few have in recent times. It will be hard to decipher the lyrics the first time around, but I'll let you listen to it before I quote a few of them for you.

Ready? Here are a few of the stunning lyrics from Someplace Beautiful by Alfred Hall.

"Would you give away your throne for love?"

[Chorus]

"Don't tell me it's real  You feel so cold in my arms Can you tell me how we could be drifting apart?"

"Turn away to go someplace beautiful  Somewhere you cannot escape and I can't go"

Now those are some great lyrics, and the melody fits them perfectly. I love this song.

Father, my prayer is that these men would know you, who you are as you desire to be known. Reach them, Lord, and let them know the true source of their talents. In the Name of Jesus, Amen.
