Above: the cover of Tenth Avenue North's new album: The Light Meets the Dark.
The album is coming out on May 11, and I seriously cannot wait. Tenth Avenue North is PHENOMENAL. In their last cd, Over and Underneath, they produced three of my all-time favorite songs: Love Is Here, By Your Side, and Hold My Heart. And, I think they've just created another one: Healing Begins. The song, a sneak-preview of the album, has been played on Air1 a couple times already and is GREAT. If my Mixpod is working correctly (it's been malfunctioning a lot lately), you're listening to it right now. But it isn't just a "great" song- it's meaning does deeper. This is what the band said about Healing Begins:
"This is a call to let your walls fall down, let your masks fall down, let your pretense fall down, because guess what? Your walls are glass anyway. We can see through them. You are fighting a losing battle and this is where the healing begins, when you let the light expose the darkness." - Mike Donehey (Lead Vocalist/Acoustic Guitar).
Isn't that AWESOME?! I don't know about you, but I am exhilarated. This is going to be one, amazing album- one that I won't hesitate to purchase on iTunes the minute it comes out. :D

"By Your Side" is a really special song to me...has a lot of meaning. I love Tenth Avenue North. Can't wait for their CD...hmm...my birthday's coming up...;-)
Exhilarated here too! They are an amazing band. Great vocals, lyrics, and sound- all combined into Tenth Avenue North!
Oh man...I LOVE Tenth Avenue North! The title track "The Light Meets the Dark" makes me cry every time. I saw them in Winter Jam this year...wow....powerful stuff.
By the way, I saw on your blogger profile that you're a fan of Wayne Batson's The Door Within Trilogy! Me too! One of his writing friends, Bryan Davis, wrote a really good book called Starlighter that I think you'd enjoy. I'm giving it away for free on my blog! If you're interested, stop in and enter!
Thanks!
