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 wind Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'll leave you dry, when you are thirsty.
I'll leave you naked, when you need clothing.
I'll let you down, I'll let you down.
I'll Leave you lonely, when you need lovin'.
I'll let you down, I'll let you down!
I hope you find your way,
And live.
Wanderer, O' Wanderer,
I hope you find your way,
And live.
My weary heart is aching.
My brittle bones are breaking.
And the things I told you, that you have yet to believe,
Are the very things i've come that's true.
Searching,
I hope you find your way,
And live.
Wanderer, O' Wanderer,
I hope you find your way,
And live.
I'm getting older,
But not old enough to know what i'm supposed to know,
Before I die, Before I go below.
Because the man that I am is still finding out what I'm looking for.
I'm looking out for something to make me come alive.
In the song "Life & Life Only" by Come Wind, the singer speaks about leaving someone in their time of need, leaving them hungry, thirsty, naked, and lonely. This repetitive refrain emphasizes the theme of abandonment, and the dark side of human nature. The singer admits that he will let this person down, but at the same time, he hopes they find their way and live. This sentiment shows that while the singer may not be able to help or provide for this person, he still wants them to succeed and thrive despite the hardships they may face.
The second verse of the song reveals that the singer's own heart is aching and his bones are breaking. He has experienced pain and hardship himself, and everything he has told this person, everything he believes to be true, is something that he has also struggled with. This vulnerability and honesty add depth to the song and make it clear that the singer is not speaking from a place of superiority or moral high ground. Instead, he is acknowledging his own flaws and struggles while trying to offer a message of hope to another person.

Lyrics
We grew together
Me and many brothers
From the second time that we were born
To our Father in heaven
Every note that was sung
Every breath in our lungs
We knew it came from Him
Then we found some daughters
And they looked better than
What the Author of our lives had penned
He wrote life and life abundant
I don't know why you didn't want it
I know that you had thought that it was better
I'll never know until I try it
The life I came to give you, it was whole
I'll never stop until I know that I filled this hole.
He's slow to anger
And of great kindness
A slave can now be called a son
In the morning mercy's new again
Never exhausting love
I know that you had thought that it was better
I'll never know until I try it
The life I came to give you, it was whole
I'll never stop until I know that I filled this hole.
Your patient mother
How you gonna tell her that you've grown
You can't hide it from her
She wants to be proud oh she wants to be proud
She wants to be proud oh she wants to be proud
Your patient Father
How you gonna stand before His throne
You can't hide it from Him
He wants to be proud oh He wants to be proud He wants to be proud
He wants to be proud
He wants to be proud oh he wants to be proud He wants to be proud
He wants to be proud
He wants to be proud
He wants to be proud
I know that you had thought that it was better
I'll never know until I try it
The life I came to give you, it was whole
I'll never stop until I know that I filled this hole.
Return and when I see you I'll come running
Oh I don't think I'm anything but a slave
Father will take you in
You're still his son
The cup He gives you to drink will always fill you up

I HAD a depressing life, before I got saved. I was a suicidal, I hated everyone, and I had no friends. If you had known me then, you would have been scared of me. God took that anger and turned it into joy. My relationship with my family and friends improved by a hundred percent, and more! No, I don't live a depressing life, because I have nothing left to lose, and everything to gain. I am in Love, and Love is in me.
@ErinDylanAnderson
I love how these guys are not ashamed to let their faith boldly resound in their songs. God blesses their music because of it.
@Come Wind, PLEASE don't ever change that.
@SausageLinks131
My life is better than it's ever been because I haven't found joy and passion in the world, but in Jesus. May sound cliche and lame, but I don't care. It's true, and I'm never going back. I can't see life without Him. Having faith doesn't make things easy, but possible. I just can't express to you in words why I believe, other than faith. And even that, the word "faith" just can't express it. I see God in my life, even in others lives.

Still playing on repeat in 2020!
@josiahhannon
Just discovered this band by accident... def deserves more views.
@soares_vlog
I can not explain how this song touches me, seriously. It is full of truth and intensity, I really love this! Like I said before, it's for sure the best song ever. God bless you all!
@danbobbit153
I totally agree.
@johnaverna5256
I LOVE THAT SONG ! Its the kind of song that only sticks if you can relate to the words. When that relation combines with and incredible musical hook, there is no getting it out of your head. So you go through spells as if under the influence of a drug where you just buzz with the harmony of a good song. Thank you for the high Come Wind.
@becauseofyourlove1
Pity? No, not pity, never pity Christians, they have so much more to be joyful for than unbelievers. We have hope of Heaven, and we should never be pitied. I pity you my friend that you have not come to find the same hope and joy that people like Come Wind have found.
@brophius
it's awesome because they're Christians, why else do you think they put so much passion/energy into it? it's not so you'll like it, but that God will be praised
