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.

Come & Go
come wind Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Or maybe I stay the same
I guess for you the time had come
To leave this all behind
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
People say your love is gone
Replaced with your sense of wealth
Better than I knew myself
Maybe I'm happy
Maybe it's alright
Maybe I'm better off this time
Maybe I'm happy
Maybe it's alright
Maybe I'm better off this time
Maybe I'm happy
Maybe it's alright
Maybe I'm better off this time
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

The song "Come & Go" by Come Wind expresses the bittersweet feeling of seeing someone you love leave your life. The opening lines, "People seem to come and go, or maybe I stay the same," suggest that the singer is aware that people leaving is a common occurrence in life, but also feels as if they are stuck in the same place. The chorus reflects on the idea that the departure of the loved one may actually be a positive change: "Maybe I'm happy, maybe it's alright, maybe I'm better off this time." The singer is acknowledging the possibility that being without this person could lead to personal growth and a better life.
The second verse suggests that the reason for the departure may have been due to a change in priorities, with the line "People say your love is gone, replaced with your sense of wealth." The singer recognizes that the loved one may have recognized something that they didn't, with the line "Better than I knew myself." The repetition of the chorus reinforces the idea that the singer may be content with the outcome, but possibly hesitant to fully embrace it.
Overall, "Come & Go" portrays a complex emotional situation. While the singer sees the positive potential of the loved one's departure and recognizes that they may be in a better place, there is also a sense of sadness and uncertainty.
