From the Dust... We Ran to Greet the Dawn

Marc Byrd - "As a thank you for your support throughout 2012, we're releasing a new song, "From the Dust... We Ran to Greet the Dawn" for free here. We had this drum track (performed by Steve H) left over from the Chasing After Shadows… Living With the Ghosts sessions. We listened to it with fresh ears and realized we could do something special with it. After Andrew and I completed our parts, Matt added his sweet cello and here we are… I feel a sense of openness, nostalgia and unbridled childlike innocence when I listen to this track. When was the last time we stayed up all night or woke up early enough to get some place where we could just take in the arrival of sunrise? It’s the most difficult thing to do, but we have to fight to keep our hearts from growing old and cold. We only have a few sunrises to see before we leave here, combined with some scattered moments of twilight. It’s constantly up to us to try to see this life with new eyes. Go greet the dawn… "
