When I wrote the lyrics of " Lord, I Turn to You!" I was just completely honest with my feelings. I didn`t wanna hold back anything to make it easier on the listener. I wanted to be colorful in a way that also lets the deeper shades emerge. I think that`s a big part of me. Of my music. The wish to be real, -infront of you. In front of the world.
It`s so tempting to try and make everything look so good and so easy, but the truth is that we don`t always see the light. And we don`t always find the way out, at least not the one we wanted to take. And then, right there -we should not feel so bad that we don`t trust someone and let them support us. It couldn`t be harder, but it should be the first thing to come to mind!
When I heard great love songs about God, I always used to think: I can never say any of those things. I just can`t! It would be a lie. But now I know that I, and you, can turn to God when ever, where ever, no mather what the situation.
I`ve tried. I let him love me, and then the curtains before my eyes fell.
I don`t always sing about God, or hope, cause I need to be real in good and in bad times. Some of my songs are really sad. Because, I believe that there`s a time for everything. It`s a good thing to be emotional.
I`m not afraid that sad songs will make me depressed. No, they`re more like therapy.
"Lord, I Turn to You!" is a song about trust. You can`t know for sure that someone`s trustworthy...-You just gotta trust them! ;-)
