@[Valeriadamb:16726] that's a really interesting question! I've always kind of gotten the vibe that the girl could be praying, hence the daddy thing. But I'm not sure. If you're interested in this, I actually think a few of the songs from Battle Born have major Mormon vibes. I think "From Here on Out" is about someone who left the faith. "Be Still" almost feels like a hymn to me. And you're welcome! Thanks for being interested :) This is one of my favorite things to talk about. |

@[melissa107:16706] @[valeriadamb:16707] Absolutely. To me, the whole song has Mormon vibes but the end is most blatantly Mormon: And, deep in the night, I feel the presence Of something that was long ago told to me: Mormons believe in the pre-existence, the idea that we all lived with God in heaven before our spirits came to live on earth. This line is referring to feeling a spiritual confirmation of religious truth that he was taught "long ago" in the pre-existence. There is a hand, guiding the river The river to wide open sea: God guides the world/our fates. And deep in my heart, in and again On any mountain, no I'm not afraid Standing on stone, you stand beside me And honor the plans that were made Mormons like the parable of the wise man who built his house upon rock, vs. the foolish man who built his house upon the sand. "Standing on Stone" seems like a reference to this, and they're honoring their temple/wedding covenants. "There is no end" earlier in the song = Mormons believe in eternal life especially in regards to being eternally sealed to the person you marry. Just a quick answer, hope it helps!
