Today I can’t stop listening to Death Cab’s Narrow Stairs. “I Will Possess Your Heart” is over 8 minutes long, and yet it never loses any of its magic and I never lose interest either. How do they do that?
Mason imagines God singing this song to us. “How I wish you could see the potential, the potential of you and me / It’s like a book elegantly bound but in a language that you can’t read just yet . . .” I love the idea of God pining over us, longing to possess our hearts. Sadly, while I never lose interest in the magic of Death Cab, I pretty regularly lose interest in the wonder of Christ. Why do I do that?
“You reject my advances and desperate pleas . . .
. . . I won’t let you let me down so easily”
