Room Thirteen give Brightness EP 10/13 and write: "With a delicate reverence Eben paint melodic, touching tunes that swell with bliss and hope. The epic tunes with depth and dreamy introspection displayed on the 'Brightness EP' would be a fine start for any band, and having only to into being last year, Eben display an intricacy in their music that is highly sought after by far older groups."
Momentum (Soul Survivor Festival 06) write: "Only formed in spring this year, eben, have been making some noise on the scene with their anthemic, beautiful and inspiring genius. Dense lyrics and sparse melodies seamlessly blend together with no sound or hint of contradiction. Your chance to see them before the NME writers are gloating about UK rocks latest unconventional find."
My Sufficiency
Eben Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I find completeness in You
Alpha Omega and everything that's within
How wonderful You are
Ooooh oh oh
How wonderful You are
Baba ese o baba
How wonderful You are
We praise You
Exalt you
We adore You
And proclaim how wonderful You are
The lyrics of EBEN's song "My Sufficiency" express gratitude and adoration for God as the source of the singer's completeness and sufficiency. The phrase "You are my sufficiency Lord" implies that without God, the singer would not be complete or whole. The chorus then goes on to describe God's magnificence and all-encompassing nature as the Alpha and Omega, implying that everything that lies in between is under God's control and power. The singer thanks God in the Yoruba language, saying "Baba ese o baba" which means "Thank you father". The entire song is a declaration of God's greatness and a grateful acknowledgement that without God, the singer would be incomplete.
Overall, the song expresses a deeply personal and emotive sense of devotion towards God. The worshipful lyrics and the repetitive nature of the chorus are likely intended to inspire a sense of spiritual connection and awe in listeners. The song is an ode to the boundless power and love of God and a reminder of the necessity of the divine in our lives.
