Daylight - Brave Saint Saturn, The Light Of Things Hoped For"Aching for a spark/Trembling in pitches dark/Daylight/Save me"
The Light Of Things Hoped For was released all the way back in 2003. The album is in itself, a story, highlighting the voyage of the U.S.S. Gloria, and each of the tracks chronologically followed the adventures of the spaceship as it traveled around the moon. Basically, the U.S.S Gloria had lost contact with Earth when it was caught in a lunar eclipse, and all hope was lost for their survival. I really don't know how I can explain this song and give it the praise it deserves. Honestly, it's that good.
Brave Saint Saturn crafted this song perfectly, and added some amazing symbolism to it. When the U.S.S Gloria lost contact with Earth on the dark side of the moon, to me it represents how evil can envelope you in a veil of darkness. There may have been some situations where you were confronted with a problem, and it feels like you're drifting farther and farther from the light at the end of the tunnel.
"Jesus Christ/Light of the world/You never did forget me"
The U.S.S. Gloria is finally able to reestablish contact with Earth, and then they come out of the eclipse, finally seeing the sunlight. Jesus is that daylight. He lights the world, and removes darkness from his sight. The writer is calling upon Him to save him, just as we do when evil comes, like a thief in the night...
I really can't describe the way this song makes me feel. It is just a powerful cry out to God in a time of desperate need, and the symbolism used to convey that was excellent. It just pulls at your emotions, the intensity of the singer, and the longing for God he displays in this song. The ending is... amazing. The singer literally screams his lungs out, crying for home, for Jesus. Every single time I hear it, it sends a chill down my spine. Daylight is January 9th's Song Of The Week, and frankly, it's well deserved.
