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.

Steady
come wind Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
i think i brought this all upon myself
the black and white stripes
that cover your wall are
stained upon my brain
i can't seem to get the color back
to find peace with it's walls
perhaps it's behind the cabinet
but i'll never know
i can't seem to get my eyes to look
i can't seem to get the color back
and oh this is the love that makes my hands shake
oh this is a heart that beats alone
oh no but i can't leave this place and still that steady
oh woah oh woah beat cause my hearts in the sand
floors that creak and groan
lonely tv we leave it be
but i think i'll stay
the sun shine makes my skin hurt
it wants me to change
the ceiling is a barrier that keeps
me safe from harm (harm)
oh this is the love that makes my hands shake
oh this is a heart that beats alone
oh no no but i can't leave this place until the steady
oh woah oh woah beat cause my hearts in the sand
and i feel so alone
i feel so alone
i feel so alone
god take me away
the sand it pumps through my veins
and after all that i've done
can you build your house there
In "Steady" by Come Wind, the singer expresses feelings of loneliness that overwhelm them like a flood. They acknowledge that they may have brought this isolation upon themselves. They describe being fixated on the black and white stripes that cover someone else's wall, which have become stained on their brain. They long to see color again but cannot seem to look up. In their cluttered room, they search for peace behind a cabinet they will never uncover. They cannot seem to get their eyes to focus and see clearly.
The love they have experienced has made their hands shake and their heart beat alone. They cannot leave this place until the steady beat of their heart in the sand allows them to do so. The floors creak and groan, and the TV is left alone. The sun hurts their skin and urges them to change, but the ceiling provides a barrier that keeps them safe from harm. The singer feels extremely alone and longs for God to take them away. They feel like sand pumps through their veins and question whether they can build a house there after all they have done.
"Steady" is a poignant song that describes a deep sense of loneliness and longing. The lyrics convey a sense of isolation and desperation, with the singer longing for human connection and struggling to find meaning in their surroundings. The verses are filled with vivid imagery, such as the stains on the wall and the cluttered room, which add to the sense of melancholy and unease. The song is a reflection on the human condition and captures the complexities of the human heart.
