โThere Is a Wound That Singsโ is a hymn not of doctrine, but of ache. A sparse and reverent a cappella performance, it begins with a single, bare voice. Slowly, other voices gather around it โ airy and close โ forming harmonies that feel more like breath than sound. By the final verse, a ghostlike fiddle joins in, weaving through the silence with unspoken reverence. Every word is carefully placed. Every rest is sacred space.
Itโs not quite sacred. Itโs not quite secular. Itโs grief and grace held in tension. Itโs the kind of song that doesnโt end โ it echoes.

๐ง THEMES & LYRICAL DEPTH
โโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโ
Each verse is a meditation on something too large to hold โ pain, beauty, sacrifice โ and our inability to answer it. The refrain, made entirely of โLa da daโ syllables, becomes a lament beyond words. A wound that sings when words run out.
Verse 1: Humbled by unmet need and unspeakable pain
Verse 2: Silenced by grace and gift beyond comprehension
Verse 3: Shaken by divine sacrifice, undeserved love
This is the sound of being undone in the presence of something holy.

Imagine this song:
โข Opening a scene of deep personal grief
โข Playing quietly over a slow pan across sacred spaces or candlelight
โข Sung live as a centerpiece in a liturgy of lament
โข Echoing through a darkened theatre, leaving silence in its wake
This is music made not to fill space, but to *honor it*. A soundtrack for remembering. For grieving. For revering.
