Derek Webb started giving out his entire album Mockingbird earlier this month. It’s absolutely free for the download at http://www.freederekwebb.com/Â I have really been enjoying it, and play it often in the car. It’s full of catchy songs that make you think, and what more could you want than that?
Here’s a preview of the lyrics:
don’t teach me about
politics and government
just tell me who to vote fordon’t teach me about
truth and beauty
just label my musicdon’t teach me how
to live like a free man
just give me a new lawi don’t wanna know
if the answers aren’t easy
so just bring it down
from the mountain to mei want a new law
i want a new law
gimme that new law
…what’s the use in trading
a law you can never keep
for one you can that cannot get you anythingdo not be afraid
do not be afraid
do not be afraid
“a new law”
As a bonus, Kate likes it. She tries to sing the end of this song (“do not be afraid”) but it comes out very unenunciated.
Yeah- started giving it away AFTER I got the hard copy of it!
