I feel like that's something the church has done really badly is actually confessing. We are sinners. We are broken, shattered people that do things selfishly, out of arrogance, pride, lust, greed. And all have fallen short. That doesn't mean some we're definitely a part of that inclusive all.
Jon ForemanI think that weโre a culture that runs away from death, for good reason. Nobody really wants to think about the fact that weโre going to be lifeless food for worms in a coffin someday. But at the same time, I feel like knowing that youโre going to die can be an incredibly rewarding, powerful knowledge. It inspires us to live in ways that we wouldnโt if we were ignorant. I feel like that has inspired me to care about every breath. For me itโs not a morbid curiosity, itโs just wanting to make sure that every moment I have here on the Earth while I am breathing is accounted for.
Jon ForemanBeing a creator of a song I get to take all these broken fragments of failure and chaos and weave together something beautiful and meaningful. Decay. Death. Pain. Fall. And if God is a songwriter then these fallen leaves of mine can be redeemed
Jon ForemanPaste just might be my favorite music magazine. They have shed light on many incredible, under-appreciated folks over the years, helping me find new tunes to accompany me through life. We were honored to give a song in return.
Jon ForemanYou wake up, you wake up, another day, you wake up, you wake up, traffic still moving at the same speed, our eyes looking at the same speed, our minds thinking at the same speed, I wanna see movement, I wanna see change. I wanna wake up for real. I wanna wake up. I wanna wake up. We were meant to live.
