This is the first song of my #SongsofCourage series.
These are treacherous times for many of us, especially with the coronavirus things and so many concerns about our health, our finances, our families, the role of the government, the economy, and questions about how the world will look when all of this comes to a close. This song is intended to bring peace to anxiety, courage to weakness, faith to doubt, hope to despair, love to loneliness, and perhaps comfort in a time of heaviness, confusion, and depression for many.
I wrote this song after visiting a beautiful ancient Cathedral in the Netherlands in June, and there learning that the title, "Star of the Sea," attributed to Mary--the ubiquitous religious historical figure--may actually have been a mistranslation of "drop of the sea." I found it fascinating. Historical religious texts, at the very least, hold deep symbolic meaning for all of us, especially in trying times.
Due to some technical issues, I will circle back to finish the #SocialismSongs series after this new theme closes--one more song and one more commentary.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This is part of an ongoing "song theme" series I'll be doing throughout 2020 with regular commentary. I'll be sharing the gamut from politics, culture, and art, to love, injustice, and true humanity, all from the perspective of a Catholic, conservative millennial.
