Truth (Lyrics) -- Alex Ebert

A mesmerizing and majestic song—the lyrics are brilliant and from reading comments from listeners, there seems to be a common feeling that this song has helped some people emerge from very dark places in their lives. Just love the eerie and mysterious texture of the song: the hypnotic whistling, the superb background singing and chanting, Ebert’s soothing, almost healing voice, the extraordinary keyboards, and so on. It is no wonder that Guy Ritchie chose this for his closing credits of his new movie “The Covenant” (so powerful right after the last scene of the knowing nods of understanding between the two protagonists) and why Vince Gilligan and his music editors chose this for the powerful scene just after Jesse had killed the naive Gale. One of the most meaningful and magical songs I have ever heard.
