Our Soundtrack of Late

Derek Webb started giving out his entire album Mockingbird earlier this month. It’s absolutely free for the download at http://www.freederekwebb.com/  I have really been enjoying it, and play it often in the car. It’s full of catchy songs that make you think, and what more could you want than that?

Here’s a preview of the lyrics:

don’t teach me about
politics and government
just tell me who to vote for

don’t teach me about
truth and beauty
just label my music

don’t teach me how
to live like a free man
just give me a new law

i don’t wanna know
if the answers aren’t easy
so just bring it down
from the mountain to me

i want a new law
i want a new law
gimme that new law
…what’s the use in trading
a law you can never keep
for one you can that cannot get you anything

do not be afraid
do not be afraid
do not be afraid
“a new law”

As a bonus, Kate likes it. She tries to sing the end of this song (“do not be afraid”) but it comes out very unenunciated.
