Winter Wheat

“Songs of struggle and fight rally listeners to action, but beneath those necessary calls to arms there has to be a belief that actions make a difference. ‘Winter Wheat’ is a quiet voice of reassurance when the disagreements die down and we’ve reached the limits of what we can accomplish in a single day. It reminds us that our survival of hardship is as natural as the hardship itself, and if the two are compatible, it’s only because they have to be.”

This year’s theme over at One Week // One Band was “Songs of Hope.” I wrote about John K. Samson’s “Winter Wheat.“
