This is the first track off the album Gungor released last September – but really, the whole album is phenomenal. It’s one of those that I could sit and listen to in it’s entirety, just to listen. And there are not many albums I can say that about. The whole thing tells an incredible story – the songs don’t really live in isolation from each other – and I think that makes it a true work of art. I think if I could only listen to one thing forever, it would be these guys. Michael and Lisa Gungor are such beautiful people, and they really think about what they create, which I love – check out their song stories for this album on their blog. Not to mention, they came and taught a class while I was in school and it forever changed my perspective on creativity & faith.
I think everyone has a band/album that completely cuts them open (in the best way) – and Gungor’s “Ghost Upon the Earth” is definitely it for me. Gets me every single time. And I love them for it!
