Music
I've removed some text from the Music section of this page. It refers to the background of songs, which I would consider to be more appropriate for the album pages. Some of these songs are from their first album, which currently doesn't have its own page. The text is included below if anyone wants to create the appropriate article.

Gilkeson explained the term organic means the music "came from a very deep place with God."

According to Gilkeson, the most powerful song on the album is "You Bled", which he said "'It came from a point of awareness of our own faults and our own issues then getting to a place of simplicity. In the middle we take the saying from the kids' song, 'Yes, Jesus loves me'. I felt when we first started doing it that it was a bit simplistic for those who are slightly more cynical and 'cool'. It was a bit weird for them. But we came to the point where we thought, 'This is really it, Jesus loves me, this is the simplicity of what our faith is and we don't need to dress it up'.'"

Gilkeson has the song "Exalt" was "coming from a point of 'I don't know but you might'. Sometimes when we go into worship we come up with so many walls and the first verse is just letting them drop and just saying to God, 'We can't hide from you.' Then the chorus, 'I exalt you, you're the colour of my world,' that just does it for me. Life is grey but with God in our lives it becomes full of colour. The chorus is the important part where we are talking to the Lord, when we are exalting him. Sometimes in some worship songs we get distracted from that. But in this song that's what we focus on."

The song "Movements" is "a deep commitment song that says we won't walk away after a time of loss and suffering."

The album demonstrates a clear progression in the bands sounds. Clear influence from the burgeoning alternative folk rock scene with a sound similar to that of Mumford and Sons, The Lumineers among others are on display in this album.

 * You might want to start with Wikipedia:Finding images tutorial. There other, related tutorials and help pages linked at Help:Contents/Browse/Images and media. I believe you want to add it to the infobox, not the header. Walter Görlitz (talk) 13:40, 1 September 2015 (UTC)
