PSALMS VOL. X: Great Hallel – The Shaken Remnant

Synopsis:
This final volume walks Psalms 136–150 as a big, choir-heavy benediction over the whole journey. It opens with “Love That Outlives Everything,” a Great Hallel call-and-response that traces creation, exodus, and daily bread under a repeating mercy. “Songs Hung on the Willows” drops into exile by the river, refusing to cheapen Zion’s songs, while “In the Middle of the gods” and “Known All the Way Down” bring defiant, intimate praise into public squares and inner rooms. Mid-album, the tone darkens and pleads: “Venom and Nets,” “Guard My Mouth,” and “No One at My Right Hand” wrestle with violence, slander, loneliness, and hidden caves; “Teach My Soul to Breathe Again” asks for morning mercy, and “Hands for War, Hearts for Peace” cries for just strength and quiet streets. The closing stretch widens again: “Generation to Generation,” “Help of Jacob,” and “Heals the Broken, Names the Stars” recount God’s care from frail bodies to galaxies, “Everything That Moves” calls all creation into the song, “Dance and Sword” fuses joy and judgment, and “Every Breath a Drum” ends the entire ten-volume cycle with a mass-choir shout: let everything that has breath join the rhythm. Arrangements lean into choirs, call-and-response, and finale energy, while staying true to The Shaken Remnant’s indie/rock/folk DNA.

Known All the Way Down | Psalm 139

(FR) La ligne mélodique virevolte avec légèreté, comme un oiseau espiègle qui frôle les branches sans jamais s’y poser. Petite pièce de théâtre instrumental-vocal,
où chaque instrument improvise un sourire, une réplique, un silence.

Le titre prend ici tout son sens : jouer sans se moquer, converser sans bavarder.
Une vivacité presque conversationnelle... sans parole.

Improvisation maîtrisée, quelque part entre J.S.Bach et un club d’impro jazz-fusion IA-humain.

(EN) The melodic line flutters with lightness, like a mischievous bird brushing against the branches without ever landing. A miniature stage play for voice and instruments,
where each phrase smiles, replies, or simply listens.

The title says it all :  to play without mocking, to converse without rambling.
A vivid, almost conversational energy...without words.

A finely tuned improvisation, somewhere between J.S.Bach and a jazz-fusion improv night — shared between human and AI.

The 3 Ghosts

Lyrics -

Verse 1

She’s a shadow in a hallway, floating where you sleep,
Mama ghost watching every promise you keep.
Maid ghost whispers, “Baby, slow down, please,”
But you outrun love like a cold night breeze.

Pre-Chorus

They try, they try—
But you were born to slip through fingers in the night.

Chorus

’Cause ghosts can’t save you,
They only trail behind.
Holding on to moments
That keep slipping out of time.
And one day soon,
You’ll fade like they do—
And the girl they chased
Turns a ghost too.

Verse 2

Queen’s little daughter with a wildfire grin,
Always one heartbeat from tumbling in.
Two tired spirits doing all they can,
But trouble’s always been your closest friend.

Bridge

Round and round,
We all fall through…
First they lose you,
Then they’re with you.

Final Chorus

’Cause ghosts can’t save you,
They only trail behind.
Holding on to moments
That keep slipping out of time.
Yeah, nothing stays—
Not even you…
And the girl they chased
Turns a ghost too.

Looking at your Feet

[intro]

[instrumental]

[verse]
We were sitting 'cross the room
It was your mother's house
I was there to see your dad
Talk about a job he had

I was trying to pay attention
I really needed to get hired
I kept looking at your feet
and your dad was getting tired

I could not see your eyes
And your hands below the table
But your feet they told the truth
That was info I could use

[chorus]
Your feet pointed at me
You was gonna come my way
Your ankles I could see
They said all there was to say

all there was to say

[instrumental]

He said son, why is it that you're here
Do you want this job or not
I hope that your tight pants
That they ain't all you've got

Your mother was behind him
She was trying to keep from laughing
She served your dad his plate
and said it's getting late

Your dad picked up his fork
He looked at me and said
Why don't you walk on over
You had better get to work

[chorus]
Your feet pointed at me
You was gonna come my way
Your ankles I could see
They said all there was to say

all there was to say

Yeah, all there was to say

[instrumental]

I could not see your eyes
And your hands under the table
But your feet they told the truth
Resistance is no use

Your feet pointed at me
You was gonna come my way
Your ankles I could see
They said all there was to say

all there was to say

all there was to say

all there was to say

[outro]

Looking at Your Feet

Dream a Beautiful Dream, My Love

Some love stays loud.
Some love learns how to wait.

This one’s about choosing restraint instead of chasing and loving someone by honoring what they need even when it hurts.

Lyrics: 
Giving You Space

You left your T-shirt on the back of that chair
Half your things still sittin’ over there
Your toothbrush leanin’ on the side of mine
Feels like you just stepped out for a little while

I keep your pillow on your side of the bed
Talk to the ceiling more than in my own head
Type out “you up?” just to see your name
Let it sit a moment
Then erase it again

You said, “I need room
Just to hear my own thoughts
I’m not done with us
I just need my voice”

Now it’s a half-full closet
Tears fallin’ under this faucet
I’m tryin’ to hold on
To your empty space

I’m givin’ you space
When I just want you near
Every quiet minute
Feels louder than you’d ever hear

I wanna pull you close
But I step back instead
Leave your side wide open
In this king-size bed

If time on your own
Is what your heart needs
I’m holdin’ my breath
Just to let this breathe

I’m stayin’ right here
If you turn my way
Yeah, I’m learnin’ a harder love
By givin’ you space

TV’s on low but I’m not in the show
Just hear your voice say, “I don’t know anymore”
Your photo starin’ from that magnet frame
I close the fridge
Try not to look again

Homies hit my phone, “Come out tonight”
But that empty passenger seat never sits right
So I wash these dishes just to fill the quiet
Set your mug out waiting
Like you’re still right by it

You said, “Don’t chase me
I’m a little worn out
I gotta find me
Before I burn out”

So I fold my need
Like a note I don’t send
Tryin’ not to drive
Past your street again

I’m givin’ you space
When I just want you near
Every quiet minute
Brings you in so clear

I wanna pull you close
But I stand back instead
Talk to your shadow
On your side of the bed

If time on your own
Is what your heart needs
I’m talkin’ to the walls
Just to let this breathe

I’m stayin’ right here
If you turn my way
But I’m tired of lovin’ you
By givin’ you space

Maybe one night
You’ll scroll past my name
Pause on the screen
Feelin’ the same

If you get well
And still can’t stay
I won’t hold your heart
Where it don’t wanna lay

But it cuts down deep
Just to stand this far
Proud of myself
And I hate where we are

Real love’s gentle
But it’s not all grace
Sometimes it trembles
Just givin’ you space

So I’m givin’ you space
But I’m not lettin’ go
There’s a key under that
Same mat, you know

You can walk back in
Turn this house back to home
I’ll leave a light on
So you’re not alone

Even if you never
Come back through
You’ll still know
If you see my face, it’s true

You’ll know I loved you
By the way I stayed
And held this waiting
And gave you your space

Yeah, I loved you for real
By givin’ you space

Giving You Space
