Single I Rival Sons – Mosaic
“Mosaic” is the closing track of LIGHTBRINGER, and it delivers an emotional exhale awash in buoyant melodies
As if capturing a moment of light piercing the clouds, the chorus culminates on a realization, “The broken pieces fit together.”
“After going through so much turbulence in the last three years, I knew I needed to rejoice in the experience,” Jay reveals. “There was a need to be thankful and contextualize the turbulence. It’s all just a mosaic of laughter, tears, falling, rising, and rebuilding. It’s a great way to dismount from this heavy undertaking.”
November 9: Melkweg – Amsterdam

MOSAIC
Joy
Heartache
Happiness and pain.
What you want is out reach
So you reach out again
The glowing
The fading
The drought and the rain.
Who doesn’t want to live forever?
Speak
Listen
Learn and refute
You think you’ve heard it all
Until you hear the truth.
The trial and
The error
Of an outlived youth
You think you know yourself at all?
In this mosaic of laughter and tears
To fall, to rise, rebuild, to realize.
The broken, the broken,
The broken pieces fit together.
Back away and lines disappear.
The broken fit together,
Back away and the lines disappear.
We’re only here for each other.
Passion
Denial
Action and rest
You may have given it your all
Without giving it your best.
The not now
The someday
Get it all off your chest.
Up on somebody else’s silver screen.
Knowledge
Faith
Chaos and song
On the abacus conjecture
Doesn’t last very long.
What you believe or deny
May be equally wrong
But don’t let yourself get too jaded.
In this mosaic of laughter and tears
To fall, to rise, rebuild, to realize.
The broken, the broken,
The broken pieces fit together.
Back away and lines disappear.
The broken fit together,
Back away and the lines disappear.
We’re only here for each other.
