I was originally going to write about a different song this week but I started listening to Disciple's newest album Horseshoes And Handgrenades a few days ago and have been absolutely hooked on "Dear X" and "Invisible." At the time of writing this, Disciple recently announced that they're going to be re-recording "Dear X" with Howard Benson sometime in the near future. The notion of "Dear X" becoming even better than it already is, is exciting and you should check it out. (Howard Benson is a fantastic producer. Click the link I conveniently placed in his name for a list of albums he's worked on. Chances are you'll find plenty of amazing records he's worked on.)
But this isn't about "Dear X." It's about "Invisible."
The lyrics are what made this song incredible for me. The rock music is definitely good and I really hope they play this at the show I intend to go to in 3 weeks but the lyrics make it a complete package. Disciple is a Christian band and this song is sung as God talking the listener reminding them that no matter who they are, what they've done, or how they feel, that they are not alone in the world. I'm compelled to add in the lyrics of the chorus here because of how moving they are. So I will.
"You wish you were someone else / Every night you fall to pieces / Knowing you can't save yourself / I can see you, I can hear you / There's a place where the broken go / There's a room full of second chances / You're not stranded on your own / You're not... Invisible"
I am a Christian and am going to be highlighting songs by more Christian artists in this feature but while I love the message of this song, I'm not going to dwell on only that facet. No matter who you are, this is still a good rock song.
That's it for this week. Check out the song right below this closing sentence.
