Goodbye AudioA

Tyler Burkham had this to share about:

"Starting Over"

"One day I was driving down the road and caught my eyes in the rearview mirror. I was looking back and looked at my own eyes and I thought 'Man, you're looking older!' I could see little ways I had been pulled away from my childhood innocence. My wife and I were getting ready to have a second child, so I was really grappling with the idea of innocence. I thought of Jesus saying we should have a childlike faith, and that is so much deeper than it looks. I think we start out like that and then the rest of our lives we are chasing it and trying to capture that again. So I was writing from that perspective. I know a lot of people who have seen a lot of stuff and lived a long time, but they've chosen to water that flower of innocence in their own life and have made decisions to protect it. So this song is really about how God gives us an opportunity to start over and reclaim that innocence we had as kids."

"Pierced"

"Mark and I wrote this song together. It talks about being overwhelmed with the fact that God would die on the cross for us. The song is about getting lost in how huge that is; about not being able to fathom that. We recorded this song with Charlie Peacock producing it at his house. I think it surprised people because, like 'Ocean Floor,' it was a mellow song for Audio Adrenaline, but its message connected with people."

Here is our Suite review of "Adios."
