Tuesday marks the day of the "New Surrender." What are you talking about? I'm talking about Anberlin's 5th album - and their major label debut. These guys are incredible, in every way. Besides the music, the lyrics are always great, and I know the band is big on helping others. I had a post a while back about faceless International, and that's what these guys do.
At any rate. I'm excited to get the album. Here's where the title comes from, according to lead singer Stephen Christian:
"We will all come to the point in our life where we have to admit that we feel defeated, that something has conquered us. We must change, not because we want to, but because we desperately have to. We can not take life in its current suffocating state, even to admit such desperation shows that we are feeling deserted, wandering the barren desert, a shell of our former selves. It is only up from here, it is impossible to sink any lower into ourselves or our circumstances. But we can be salvaged, a deliverance. No vice can stand, no fix can take. The thorn in the side can be removed, but you have to be willing to admit and surrender. Surrender your habits, your lifestyle, your past, your present, and your future. This is your new surrender. The new surrender."
