![]() ![]() I won’t forget that Your hand will hold me / Your love sustains me through the wait – “I Will Wait” I am reminded from where You have brought me / And where You have placed me for today / Leonard borrows from lyrics within two songs and from the ethos of the whole 13-track album for the title as the concept of “waiting” is examined from the perspective of the pilgrim and the God who keeps calling him home. I am a prodigal, and I am a runaway…but I am a child of God – “Wanderer” And though mined from Leonard’s own journey, the themes are universal. At its heart, The Wait is a pilgrim’s tale, filled with all the joy, fear and hope expected on this side of Heaven. Using audio and video mediums set against a backdrop of alternative pop, The Wait (Integrity Music) tells Leonard’s story of wrestling through heartache, depression, confusion and redemption with his family and with God. One person struggling with alcoholism, addiction, depression, anxiety, loss, guilt, shame, delusion, denial, perfectionism, co-dependency, suicidal thoughts and the list goes on.DOWNLOAD NOW David Leonard The Wait Full Zip Albumĭavid Leonard, formerly one-half of the GRAMMY Award nominated duo All Sons & Daughters and a former member of acclaimed band NEEDTOBREATHE, releases his first solo album March 15 with The Wait. If there is one word that can describe this record it is love. Then in the Arctic half-light of the canyon, all existence fades to a being with my soul and memories and the sounds of the Big Blackfoot River and a four-count rhythm and the hope that a fish will rise. The anger, the tension, the narcissism, the callousness, the ego were nothing but amplified in my previous words. One person struggling with alcoholism, addiction, depression, anxiety, loss, guilt, shame, delusion, denial, perfectionism, co-dependency, suicidal thoughts and the list goes on. Abusing others, friends, family, strangers, and most of all myself. This is easily a great album, the kind that likely won’t get the media attention it deserves (same as the first), but offers such an exciting alternative to the norm that really does stick. It likely exists somewhere, but no one is sure where, and you aren’t going to hear it any time soon or possibly ever. If I could accomplish one thing with this record, it would be to help one person in need. The band has just shared the new song and video for the title track. This record’s words speak truth rather than perceived truth. ![]()
