I was the biggest Caedmon’s Call fan that you could find 10 years ago. I was in the fan club (The Guild) for a few years, and to this date it’s the only fan club I’ve ever been in. I think being in 1 fan club is still 1 too many. I literally learned to play the guitar by listening to every Caedmon’s song over and over. Jeff and I played their songs all the time wherever and whenver we could.
I rarely listen to Caedmon’s anymore. I never listen to Derek Webb. I loved the stuff he did with Caedmon’s. Then he went kind of crazy and I just didn’t like his music nearly as much. He even came to Columbia numerous times and I didn’t buy a ticket. Hard to believe.
Someone gave me 2 Derek Webb songs awhile ago to try to get me back into it (I Want A Broken Heart and What Is Not Love). I’ve listened to these songs a lot over the last few days, and I really do love them. I guess I’m starting to like Derek Webb again. Maybe it’s just a short term thing, but we’ll see.
Anyway, I went to his website and ran across to the lyrics of the song called “I Repent.” I haven’t heard the song, but the lyrics are right on the spot, so I will share them with you.
| I Repent |
| i repent, i repent of my pursuit of america’s dream i repent, i repent of living like i deserve anything of my house, my fence, my kids, my wife in our suburb where we’re safe and white i am wrong and of these things i repent i repent, i repent of parading my liberty bridge i repent, i repent of trading truth for false unity |
