Should it be that you gathered up our suffering, in agony, into your body
Should it be that you bore with you this hardship through death
Should it be that you meet with God as you come to that other land
Should it be that you find his countenance turned toward you then
Should it be that you know the language to speak, so this god may hear and understand
Should it be that you then talk with this god and he hear you out
Should it be so,
Pray for us.
Death had not even been a possibility
I had not thought
So many different things
Could happen to me
I want to say
That there will always be room upon the hill.
But what could I ever do about it?
I climb to the mountaintop, but I can’t seem to shout it
Nothing to say
Nothing to do
Everything is so permanent

A meticulously crafted sonic journey, a record that rewards careful attention with a seemingly endless string of surprises from song to song. No Moniker
It is very difficult to make an interesting ambient soundscape, and it's also very difficult to make a good pop song. I don't know how you're supposed to do both at the same time but OMW manages it! No Moniker
