Poor Old Lu - Digging Deep Lyrics
Always one of our more popular songs. I suppose that is because it features our long-time friend, Jeremy Enigk, who also sings with Sunny Day Real Estate. Aaron, Nick, Jeremy and I played together early on, if you can call it playing! We had fun. Since this song was written to be a duet, we thought it would be great to sing with Jeremy again. And so we did. Jeremy changed the lyrics slightly on the bridge (artistic license, I suppose), but it came out rather well. He also dreamt up the great background vocals!'Digging Deep' is a song focused on reaching out to others, that is, with the Gospel. It is frightening. It is difficult. It is unnerving to put yourself 'out-on-a-limb' so much, but it is absolutely the calling of our Lord! There are times, however, when we don't heed the Word of God and we 'won't' share with someone... it could be that a seed will never be planted in them. This song ends with the first verse (again), but the idea is that this time we are going to follow through... though we are scared.so now hold your breathand set the stageprepare yourself for the cynic's rageis it a question still of who is man?or how they feel and what i ambut digging deep i found a waywhat more do i need to saygone through life and deathand what remainsif any blemish hang your head in shamelike a fever that just keeps you downwould you simply let it stay around?'digging deep' i guess i sayis more pridefulness of that dayin truth i know that it is cleari was distant, God is nearin the goodness and strifefound and empty wanting lifethough so long made no soundwith tears i bowed myself downwon't you greet this manand hear his wordsmaybe an open ear would make him stir
