โHoly Is the Broken Thingโ is a prayer in pieces โ a hymn not to perfection, but to fracture. A single vocal line opens over a solemn harmonium drone, raw and exposed. Slowly, gently, others join: quiet harmonies rising like fragile hands in the dark. The cello hums beneath it all, anchoring sorrow with dignity.
This is not worship in triumph. Itโs worship in ashes. A reverent sound for the places we donโt bring to the altar โ but should.

๐ง LYRICAL THEMES
โโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโ
This song is a meditation on holiness in loss, grief, failure, invisibility, and redemption.
โบ โHoly is the place we lay the fallenโฆโ โ the graves, the endings, the unseen sorrows
โบ โHoly is the vine, the branch, the berriesโฆโ โ the small living things that grow where no one watches
โบ โHoly is the broken thingโฆโ โ repeated like a mantra, re-claiming every fracture as sacred
It holds no easy answer. It simply honors what hurts and whispers, โYou are not discarded. You are holy too.โ
