Hither Come Softly
“The soul’s first scar is the soul’s first kiss” lands the way the best chorus lines do: you hear it once and feel like you already knew it. In C# minor and moving at a crisp 123 BPM, the track earns its anthemic lift the honest way, building from spare, clean verses into a wide, punchy chorus that feels like relief rather than bombast. It’s the kind of song that reminds you of early Coldplay at their most direct, before the production got too tidy. A highlight.
Lyrics
Hither come softly into the day Where dreams leave fingerprints fading away Breathe through the ache of the waking trees Weave your lost longing back through the breeze
Hither come softly into the light Shadow runs sharper just out of sight Name every sorrow that wears your name Kiss every fracture you tried to blame
Hither come softly remembering this The soul’s first scar is the soul’s first kiss Draw toward the cracks we miss- And hither come softly into the bliss
Hither come softly into the dusk Cradle the ember inside the husk Sing to the silence that knows your voice Anchor your falling - and make it choice
Hither come softly into the night Dance with the sorrow and call it right Float through the deep where the broken sleep Dream yourself whole, and fall into sleep
Hither come softly remembering this The wound you bear is the door you kiss Draw toward the grace we miss- And hither come softly into the bliss
We beckon the life we fear to see Not knowing it always beckoned me Come hither softly, eternally
Hither come softly remembering this Not all that's lost was meant to exist Draw toward the breath we miss- And hither come softly into the bliss
