"Feeling the Fall" by Scribe and Sage is an honest confessional song about weakness in the face of the temptations of the flesh, set to a congruent rock and roll beat. The band is tight, with especially strong performances on guitar and drums, backing a competent but uninspiring lead singer. Lyrically, the song is pretty good, invoking David's remorse about Bathsheba and Paul's lament that he does the things he doesn't want to do, and fails to do the good things he does want to do. There are just two lines that are theologically suspect. One has to do with making God's blood run. That is really anthropomorphizing a little too much for my taste. The other has to do with asking God to be a barrier of grace and "don't let me fall too far." As I understand it, God's grace does not keep us from falling. The falling is an inevitable consequence of sin, and sin is our own choice. How far you fall depends on you. But no matter how far you ultimately do fall, grace is there to assure you of God's continued love for you, help you rebuild, and spare you from the worst consequences of your mistakes by a measure of mercy. At least, this has been my experience (fell really far), and Christian theology as I understand it in my amateur status (no seminary training). Finally, the mix is problematic at times. It is particularly noticeable in the breaks, when the lead guitar is carrying the tune with a solo, and the mix should bring the guitar forward -- to the front of the stage, as it were -- but fails to do so, leaving the lead instrument back in the mix, as if the vocalist were still singing. All in all, a solid effort by a band with something to say.

quality audio. Its hard to rate music. I don't feel like my opinion can change the fact that this is a solid song and there was obvious effort into creating this. Good musicianship and arrangement.
