- Come listen in the silence of the moment
Before rain comes down.
There’s a deep sigh in the quiet of the forest
And the tall tree’s crown.
Now hold me,
Will you take the time to hold me
And embrace the chill?
Or miss me,
Will you take the time to miss me
When the earth stands still?
Cause there’s no use running
cause the storm’s still coming
and you’ve been running for too many years.
Come listen in the silence of the moment
Before shadows fall.
Feel the tremor of your heartbeat matching heartbeat
As we both dissolve.
Now hold me,
Will you take the time to hold me
And embrace the chill?
Or miss me,
Will you take the time to miss me
When the earth stands still?
Cause there’s no use running
cause the storm’s still coming
and you’ve been running for too many years.
So stay with me, held in my arms
Like branches of a tree
They’ll shelter you for many years.

Heard this on the radio. Touched my soul.
"So stay with me, held in my arms, like branches of a tree. They’ll shelter you for many years."
I performed this with my choir and... I do not have the words. This recording is unbelievable. The power of all parts and the modifications done to the music (or it at least sounds like it) really show off all of the strengths of each singer. Also to hear the continuous ambient sound is quite simply amazing. The way this is done shows one of the interpretations of the story of this music. I really love how this has been done. Thank you for doing this.
Hearing Cantus makes me homesick for Minnesota & MPR!
Simply Divine!
Amazing!! We are singing this in our choir and we have taken such inspiration from you guys. Keep it up!
❤️❤️❤️
This is so pretty
Is there a CD recording of this performance? I'm an audiophile/nerd and like having the physical media, and I'm not having any luck finding it.
I don't believe they have recorded this one before but I definitely want it as well. Really going to be difficult singing this any better.
Cantus?????????
Balance was awkward; melody was more like sung by bass
I don't share your sentiment on that opinion.
