___________________________

The blessing lay in the dirt
Hidden by the curse of crashing back down into the earth
You'll never know just how long the fall was
Into the arms of the angles trying to stop me 

From spinning down the spiral to get sucked into the cycle
And be swallowed by fear and forced to hold the veneer again

With a holy collide favour fell from the sky
And all the commotion was frozen in the moment
The broken lonely cry fell away to the roar of heavens might
As the power of salvation thundered through the night

It turned so cold that the snow shivered
As the sorrow left me there so hollow of hope
And for a moment in time the vision drained from my eyes
As the pain crystallised my heart withered and writhed
As the sign of a saviour seemed to fade as I faltered
Surrounded by thoughts so hauntingly helpless
And all grounds of belief were swept from under my feet once again

Oh so easily did the crowding of questions break down my defences
I silently wrestled for peace
As I stood so close that I could see
The shadows as they beckoned and they threatened to drag me underneath

But I'll embrace the heartache and proclaim
That I'll remain a guardian of grace

The Blessed Curse

Based out of Los Angeles, California, Tom Crouch is a British multi-faceted musician and songwriter dedicated to creating transcendent art. 

 

‘A Civil War of Head & Heart’ (released independently April 11th 2016) is Crouch's highly anticipated debut release, with its creation being a trans-atlantic effort collaborating with world class musicians Aaron Sterling (John Mayer/Taylor Swift) and Jon Joseph (Børns/Gungor). Recorded in studios across America and the UK during the autumnal months, its sound is warm and ethereal, with songs that take a trip through the maze of melancholy, slowly progressing in narrative to perch within the palms of peace. 

After a few years separated from the haste of touring, the project was given a focus and intention that didn't rush it into being. ‘A Civil War of Head & Heart’ is the genesis of Crouchs’ endeavours as a writer and a refreshing example of words, melodies and instrumentation woven together over a few years to blossom as nature would have it.

 

Although you'll find yourself new to his personal material, Crouch has spent the past years collaborating with many acclaimed artists such as Gungor, Gabrielle Aplin, The Brilliance, Zane Carney (John Mayer) and Lauren Aquilina. 

His extensive national and international touring experience includes performances in arenas across Europe such as Wembley Arena and the O2, supporting artists such as John Mayer, HAIM, and Ray Davies. His festival appearances include Glastonbury, T in the Park, Hyde Park, V Festival, and the iTunes Festival.
