From the very first gesture the track has this delicacy to it. Taking a relatively timeless approach to the sound it has this classic cadence. He makes sure that the melody has a richness, and it perfectly plays off his voice. By allowing this sense of joy to take shape he delivers something quite satisfying to behold, a world better than this one, one that welcomes all. Much of his output focuses on this sense of happiness, of finding a way out of the toxic culture towards something truly enlightening. It is the way that he tells it that makes it quite poignant. In many ways he touches upon that same spirit of early Fleet Foxes for there is an inherent intimacy with his sound.
“Lifted by the Lord Again” features a beautiful, blissed-out sound one where Rev Peter Unger invites the listener into his own soulful sonic universe.
