Songs From The Soil Share Second Release After Successful Launch
Songs From The Soil launched in early January as a community of British worship artists and songwriters passionate to craft songs infused with the flavor of their local context. They introduce their second single, âReal Thingâ, a folky tune led by Kate Cooke and Marc James. Written by the latter alongside Norwegian songwriters David AndrÃĐ Ãstby and Maria Lundbak Hinge in a season of global lockdown, uncertainty was permeating their creative process.
The quest for a âtrue narrativeâ amid political divisions, riots, and restrictions was a worldwide obsession. âReal Thingâ is a song for the Church â Godâs people â to reaffirm the greater reality of the Kingdom of God growing, always. âThis song was birthed out of a longing to see the church rise from the ashes and shine bright in this world in this time again,â Marc James says.
Biblically, this new release from Songs From The Soil is rooted in themes of repentance, returning, and refreshing as the song combines lament and hopeful joy at once. âReal Thingâ is a rallying cry for the church. It is a song for unity, written in unity. âThe reason for what we do is to build up and edify one another,â Marc concludes.
The new single from Songs From The Soil is an invitation to ask ourselves some hard questions, and a simultaneous source of inspiration to live uncompromisingly in Godâs eternal vision for his beloved world.
