Let me introduce you to Deas Vail... They are a band that Rob and I stumbled along when we were searching for bands that Matt Thiessen (Lead singer of Relient.K) has done work with.
The song we found is called "Birds" off their "Birds and Cages CD (Thiessen does the bridge) . I found the words very poetic and powerful, and the music just leads me to another place. I have listened to a few of their songs now, and I have grown quite obsessed. I will never be as obsessed with Deas Vail as I am with Relient.K, but they are still amazing. Plus it helps that they used Thiessen in one of their songs :)
Deas Vail means "God" in Latin and "Humble Servant" in Old French. I like it!
"Birds"
This is our true alarms.
This is reality.
We will do what we can.
We are just figurines
with a theology
that we don’t understand.
We can’t forget the beginning,
when He set our broken wings. ooh, ohh,
God, how much does it take.
for us to be loved?
For us to be saved?
We all are birds
stuck inside our cage,
covered up with grace.
And behind our sins
we hide our face.
Oh, the numbers call.
Yeah, they’re dialing in.
but, we can’t help but to compare ourselves again.
I can’t believe in this—
this blue-lipped, lifeless kiss.
We can’t see past our thrones.
We fight for life within,
but our walls are wearing thin.
Oh God, where have we gone?
When I’m just one fighting indifference,
does it matter what I say? ooh, ohh,
God, how much does it take
for us to be loved?
For us to be saved?
We all are birds
stuck inside our cage,
covered up with grace.
And behind our sins
we hide our face.
Oh, the numbers call.
Yeah, they’re dialing in.
But, we can’t help but to compare ourselves again.
It’s not that there were ever bad intentions—
it’s more that we forgot where to call home.
From important things that we don’t know to mention,
it’s the uniform that we put on—the formula we have for love.
Beautiful intentions
Formula for love
Ooooooooh
Beautiful intentions
Formula for love
Ooooooooh

<<<<<Wes Blaylock is the Lead singer. I am pretty sure his voice is incredible! He's also clearly gorgeous!
