BarlowGirl's Philosophy
The band has gained a following with their "Anti-Conformity" message of "Don't be conformed, be Transformed" from Romans 12:1-2. Besides believing in abstinence and modesty, the band has also taken a stand on not dating, but their main message remains that people should look to God for love and security, and he will bring everything else into our lives. Very simply, trust God. They encourage people to trust the unseen. Just because you can't see God doesn't mean He isn't there!
Self Titled Debut Album
BarlowGirl instantly hit the spotlight in 2004 with their acclaimed self-titled debut album, coupled with the success of its first single, Never Alone.

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
To the songs the angels sing
I hear You whisper on the breeze
And every sound echoes the rhythm
Of your heart as I begin to fade
Into this lovely night
I'm alive
I'm lost in time
Heaven kisses me tonight
Your heart with mine
It beats in time
Now I know why I'm alive
Now that Ive found You
I could never let You go away
You left my life never the same
Sing over me and let me hear the words
You wrote for me
Whisper the words and set my spirit free
Oh, sing to me

Tonight the stars are dancing
The night sky is alive with activity as the stars seem to twirl and sway in a celestial dance
To the songs the angels sing
The heavenly beings are producing a symphony that accompanies the movement of the stars
I hear You whisper on the breeze
You communicate with me through the gentle whispering of the wind
And every sound echoes the rhythm
All the noises within the environment seem to follow a particular pattern or tempo
Of your heart as I begin to fade
I can sense the pace and intensity of your heart, which is starting to become more distant
Into this lovely night
I blend in with the surroundings, as the beauty of the evening becomes all-encompassing
I'm alive
I feel a connection with the world which enriches my existence
Cause our worlds collide
Our individual realms come together to create a singular experience
I'm lost in time
I am disconnected from the ordinary passage of time
Heaven kisses me tonight
A divine force touches me and imbues me with its grace
Your heart with mine
Your emotions synchronize with mine to form a unified sensation
It beats in time
Our hearts are in perfect harmony, working together as one
Now I know why I'm alive
I experience a moment of revelation where everything falls into place, and I understand my reason for being
Now that I've found You
Having encountered you, my search has come to an end
I could never let You go away
Being apart from you is unbearable, and I cannot imagine not having you by my side
You left my life never the same
Your influence on my life is profound and irreversible, leaving me forever changed
Sing over me and let me hear the words
Please lift your voice in song, so that I may hear the message you wish to convey
You wrote for me
The lyrics of the song are specifically meant for me and hold a deeper significance
Whisper the words and set my spirit free
Speak to me softly, allowing me to feel liberated from the troubles of the world
Oh, sing to me
Your singing provides me with comfort and a sense of peace
