Derek Webb has a new album dropping in just a few short days.
I was wrong, I’m sorry and I love you.
I’ve practically grown up with Webb – first listening to Caedmon’s Call in high school and college and now following his solo career as I made my way through the world of post-school, married with kids life.
His music has become a life canon of sorts for numerous points in my life.
As others before have mentioned, good art should make us think, question and often challenge the world around us – and Derek’s music has always done just that – including this latest release.
Luckily, you don’t have to wait until the album officially drops in early September. You can pre-order the album today and get an immediate download of the album (along with a number of other special swag packages).
I’ve ordered my copy and I’m listening to the album now. Here are my initial thoughts:
I Was Wrong, I’m Sorry and I love You.
The title track (and first) track on the album starts out with a quiet Derek re-visiting the past as synthesized bells chime in the background. The chorus picks up in a somewhat “traditional” Webb musical style repeating the simple phrase “I was wrong, I’m sorry and I love you.”
When I shared those words on Facebook originally a few weeks ago, my dad made the comment – “nine simple words that can change everything.” I agree.
The song reminds me a lot of Caedmon’s Call latest release (which Webb helped produce), maybe even a little 40 Acres-esque.
And the video for the track is greatness! Bummed I didn’t have time to participate in the crowd-sourced piece of it.
