Sometimes I've heard a song for weeks before I actually listen to it--even good songs. That ever happen to you?
I heard "Heaven is a Face" for weeks before realizing who the artist was (Stephen Curtis Chapman). Even then I thought this was one of those nice "daddy" songs by singer/songwriters discovering the pleasures of fatherhood. But after listening to it, I realized it was more of a psalm--a song prayer--about the loss of SCC's 5-year-old daughter.
I won't post about that horrible, horrible accident--look on Wikipedia for more. But in that light that song turns into a beautiful thing.
You tube has a video of him singing it live for the first time, lyrics in front of him as he's still working through the song.
