It Was Beautiful

This is a shout out to the fantastic weather we’ve had this past week that had me in such a good mood this weekend and to an awesome band that I’m missing… You rock FIF!

Five Iron Frenzy - It Was Beautiful
We flew over Alaska; we saw the frozen mountains pierce the clouds. It was beautiful.
We felt the waves of New Zealand; the water shimmered beneath a moonlight shroud. It was beautiful.
Close to home in an ordinary room we felt You there. It’s my favorite memory. You’re so beautiful.

The spring in Appalachia, with flowers swaying above the fields of green. It was beautiful.
Driving in New England, the road littered with bright October leaves. It was beautiful.
Close to home in an ordinary room we felt You there. It’s my favorite memory. You’re so beautiful to me.
Thanks for the songs, these seven friends and eight good years.
It is You that made them sweet, it was beautiful.

Pictures looking back, just snapshots of the past cannot compare,
to feeling what we felt, through anything that came, that You were there.

A thousand smiling faces, backlit and bouncing to the beat. It was beautiful.
As many soaring voices, forever changed by Your mercy. It was beautiful.
Far away from all the lights and noise we felt You there. It’s my favorite memory. You’re so beautiful to me.
Thanks for the songs, these seven friends and eight good years.
It is You that made them sweet. You’re so beautiful to me.

  1. that brings a tear to my eye… great weather and better music!

  2. Meh, I actually thought ‘The End Is Near’ was one of their weaker albums. Their live album, ‘Proof That The Youth Are Revolting’, is my favorite. FIF sounds better live. And that album has nearly all my favorite songs on it. Plus it was recorded at C-stone! :D

    Five Iron rocks either way though!

  3. I liked “The End Is Near!” - “At Least I’m Not Like All Those Other Old Guys”, “So Far, So Bad”, “It Was Beautiful”, “Wizard Needs Food, Badly”… Good stuff. “All the Hype That Money Can Buy” was the album I liked least by far.
