During the winter of 2009, Come Wind recorded their debut EP at Red Red Studios in Nashville, TN. Engineered and produced by Joshua Silverberg (formerly of Edison Glass), this handful of songs is slated to be released in the early summer of 2010. Come Wind are pretty jazzed about the EP, and are determined to promote it from every mountaintop they can climb to and in every valley they can crawl through.
Even in the midst of their 'fledgling' status, Come Wind have ample experience with the incredible joy and goodness that music can bring. Truly, there is within music something both vitally human and vitally Other, an experiencing through string and rhthym and voice and song of Presence and holiness. It is this intimate, dynamic experience of both music and the Presence of I AM that Come Wind hopes to share with its listeners. All four members know themslves to have been so blessed; as a result, they desire nothing more intensely than to share this blessing with others.
Understandably, the band is excited and anxiously anticipatory about their future. Come Wind has successfully saddled the ol' music-beast, and it is with true vigor that they must now hold on for their dear lives. No matter which path their adventure takes them on, the members of Come Wind remain confident that the Spirit of God will guide them to exactly where they should be.
Come from the four winds, O breath, and breathe upon these slain, that they may live.

All the people never change
I don't know the reasons for my crimes
But I just fall on my own
I was always out in front of it
Waging war against the stroms when I felt overwhelmed
And withheld
You and I were like a pair of theives
Now you're over it
I've been wrong a thousand different times
But I don't know, I don't know this time
And you were there through every single lie and crime
What do you think of your son now
Wait a minute I was here for you
Now you're sick, you're sick, I'm sick of it too
And I
I wonder why
I've asked myself a million different ways
But all the answers look the same
And this why the birds don't ever fly as high
As you intended them to, oh
And I've been wrong a thousands different times
But I don't know, I dont know this time
You've been there through every single lie and crime
How can you look at your son now
How can you look at your son now
How can you look at your son now
"Birds Will Never Fly" by Come Wind is a song that speaks about the repetitive nature of life, and the feeling of being trapped in a cycle of mistakes and bad decisions. The lyrics describe how the singer has made countless mistakes in their life, but they don't understand the reasons behind their actions. They have a sense of guilt and regret for the harm they may have caused others. The song is also about a strained relationship between a father and son, where the son feels like he has let his father down.
The lyric "I was always out in front of it, waging war against the storms when I felt overwhelmed and withheld" suggests that the singer was always ready to face their fears and take on challenges. However, they feel like they have failed in some way. The use of the metaphor "you and I were like a pair of thieves, stealing from the rich and giving to whoever we saw fit, now you're over it" portrays a past relationship where two people had each other's backs, but one person has moved on, leaving the other behind. The line "I've been wrong a thousand different times, but I don't know this time" suggests that the singer is willing to take responsibility for their actions, but they are uncertain about their most recent mistake.
The metaphor "And this why the birds don't ever fly as high, as you intended them to" implies that the singer's dreams and aspirations have been thwarted by their own actions. The song ends with the repeated question "how can you look at your son now," which shows the singer's feelings of shame and guilt towards their father.
