this song is about my desire to escape hustle culture and just slow down. :)

I love the LOTH, but after learning that many verses and even entire psalms are omitted, I’ve had a lot of difficulty with accepting that. I’m not someone who is generally mistrusting of V2 or anything like that, but this just really shakes my trust in the wisdom of the leaders of the Church.

I find myself seeing the Psalms that have been shortened to avoid “hurtful” language and it causes me deep sadness. How could the word of God be unfitting for public prayer? After all, He gave it to us to pray, and Jesus Himself prayed every Psalm.

Finally, it causes me to even question how much the Catholic Church can be said to have truly “passed down” this tradition after altering it so much. I know other breviaries are options as well, but the LOTH is the current official prayer of the Church, and so I want to stick with it, but these things still trouble me.

maybe someone here relates to how I’m feeling and has worked through it?

NiGHTSTAND

This is my first time ever sharing my music in a place like this. I wrote, recorded and produced NiGHTSTAND as a way to process and wrestle with depressive thoughts. Curious to hear some outside opinions on it!
