Song of the Week: Like Moths to Flame

On this solemn day, when statues are covered and tabernacles are bare, my mind turns to a song from 2005's Vheissu, the fourth album by experimental / post-hardcore band Thrice. Frontman and songwriter Dustin Kensrue is no stranger to weaving Christian themes into his music (during the band's hiatus he even served as worship leader for Mars Hill Church) and this song recounting St. Peter's betrayal of his Master is a testament to that. Coupled with some of the most intense scenes from The Passion of the Christ, the fan-made video below offers a meditative springboard into contemplating the mystery of the Via Dolorosa.

Sadness from a high place

Here comes more negativity! The artist on the spotlight today is Hawthorne Heights. Maybe spotlight is a bit too much. Let's try limelight. No, that's still to bright (actually, I think it might be the same thing). How about blacklight? Woah, we'll probably see things we'd wish we hadn't! OK, no light. Actually, that might be a little dangerous considering who we're discussing. Alright, how about in a cleared outdoor area that's not too close and not too far from civilization? Yeah, that sounds good.
