Anberlin - "(*Fin)"

And now for something a bit harder. Anberlin is a fantastic band, and their music stands out in my mind for their excellent songwriting and solid guitar work. This track closes out their album "Cities" which is great throughout. The lyrics are tough; they comprise stories of the lead singer's struggles with faith at different points in his life, often amplified rather than quelled by those within the church ("patron saint, are we all lost like you?"). The children's choir in the middle of the tune is haunting, and I love that touch. I expect to post more Anberlin tunes here in the future, but for the time being, enjoy this one!
