#457: Waterlife

[lutheranhymns]

This is one of those praise songs that's somebody's aesthetic, but not mine. Lots of syncopation and weird rhythms. I wouldn't have said they were weird enough to justify the verses being sung by a leader and everyone joins in on the refrain, and in fact the arrangement seems kind of ambivalent on this; instead of "Leader" it's "Leader or All" for the verses. Like...yeah. Those are your only two choices, pretty much. But on further review the verses seem to be in 7/4 time, which is bizarre, so maybe the solo is justified.

"Waterlife" as a compound word is still less weird than "Wet Saints," but it's a close one.
