Background & Inspiration: From Josh Nahaliel
This song is made up of short statements Josh prayed continuously during a time in his life. Musically, it was designed to be three distinct-sounding sections with a similar chord progression. Caleb Lockwood and Sophia DeLaGarza (Sophialyse) brought each section to life and solidified its distinctness.
My Thoughts
It’s been about two years since the last song from Caleb Lockwood and it’s nice to hear him return in fine form. On this track, the quality of these three collaborators comes to the fore.
Sophie’s gospel/R&B vocal approach blends nicely with Caleb’s airy atmospheric style and lo-fi production. Nahaliel takes the final section with bass guitar bolstering his verse and end chorus. The song has a general “laid-back bossa nova” feel to it and it’s quite prominent in Nahaliel’s conclusion.
As the title suggests, this song expresses a desire to fellowship with God, particularly at the start of the day, with each artist creatively expressing what that time of day symbolizes in their respective communion with the Maker.
