| This album is for any Christian music lover, and in my opinion is a must-have. Upon listening to this I am reminded about a scripture in the Bible found at 1 John 1: 5-6, that says “This then is the message which we have heard of Him, and declare unto you, that God is light, and in Him is no darkness at all. If we say that we have fellowship with him, and walk in darkness, we lie, and do not the truth:” The only answer is through Jesus, as expressed throughout the whole album. |
Daylight is Coming is the debut national release from new Word Records artist, Remedy
Drive. Throughout the album you can feel a central theme being expressed and that is that
through every situation and problem in your life, Jesus will help and never leave you. So I
really hope you enjoy this album and truly listen and decipher what the album is saying, for
it is beyond a doubt amazing.
Remedy Drive is labeled as an indie rock-styled band, a style in which they show to be true
in their new album Daylight Is Coming. Their music takes you and draws you into their
lyrics. They have some real talent and cannot wait to hear more from them in the future.
The album to me has a sense of spiritual dryness, wherein you are stuck in trial and
temptation. But it also talks about in every song, a way out. The way out is Christ. In their
song “All Along”, it says “It’s not everything it seems - the world and its dreams / Slipping
like water through my hands tonight / All the things I thought would fill me up inside / Left
me empty here - and now I know why.”
Then it goes on to the chorus and gives you the answer,
“All along I was looking for something else / You’re something else / All along I was looking
for something more / You’re so much more / I finally found what I could never see before /
You’ve always been the one that I was looking for”
There is simply, just a brighter side to every situation, you just have to wait patiently and
be open to the solution…Jesus.
In their song “What happens (At the End)” the music interacts with the lyrics and adds
some effect to what the song is actually saying. For we are to surrender all to Him, what
else are you going to do when everything in your life seems to stop?
The album also shows that there is hope even if you cannot see it. Hope through
everything that is going on around you, you can find this in their song “The Sunshine
Above The Weather”.
There is always hope in every circumstance, all you have to do is be willing to change and
look for what is real. You have to have the faith to look beyond what you see and just
believe that God is God and He sent His son to change your life, but you have to be willing.
Song after song in this album can be viewed the same way. Through everything you go
through, Jesus will be there and you will get through it…Just Believe.

I really enjoyed listening to Remedy Drive's debut, Daylight is Coming. My first thoughts of the album were that these guys sounds similar musically/vocally to that of Atlanta-based rock band, Collective Soul. I think overall, "Daylight" is probably the track I liked the most. It's a constant reminder to me, that there is a day coming when our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ is going to come back and bring us with Him into eternity. Until then, we wait and know that daylight is coming someday. Be ready. |
