[WM] Your new single is “Child of Love”. It’s
an infectious blend of Gospel and classic rock.
What can you tell us about this tune?
Child of Love
[Franni] For me, I feel a lot of hesitation when
I go to write with the guys in this band because
they’re such strong and successful writers who
have been doing it for a lot longer than I have.
So, I’ve felt a lot of fear in my heart and a lot
of resistance when I go to write. I love to sing,
that comes easy to me. When we went to write
“Child of Love” it just felt like I went back to
that childlike place in my heart where I used to
write like I didn’t care if anyone was listening
or watching, I just did it because I truly loved
it. That’s kind of what the writing of this song
felt like with everybody. It felt like we were kids
again. It’s cool that this song is called “Child
of Love”. It reminds us that our identity is in
God, who is love, and that there is no fear in
love. So, when we live in that love, we’re free of
the intimidation of not being enough, because
love is enough. I think that song has taken on a
deeper meaning for me, even though its super
fun and lighthearted and so fun to play live,
though we haven’t been able to do that but a
couple of times. I also love that it has such deep
meaning to it, and it’s cool to watch that unfold.
I’ve been super excited about it and I hope that
its been ministering to peoples hearts.
[WM] In addition to great songs from your
EPs, there are so many fabulous new songs
on this project. “Cages” and “Peace” come
to mind. “Peace” was released a bit earlier
this year by Bethel Music and Franni, your
performance is stunning. I love the triplet feel on
“You Are Heaven”, and “If All I Had Was Christ”
is an amazing new anthem for worship leaders
and the worshiping community to adapt into
Sunday morning services. Tell us about any of
Peace
these wonderful new songs.
[Martin] Thank you so much for saying that.
I would say for me, with “You are Heaven”, it’s
kind of an interesting song because typically
when we think of our relationship with God we
often forget, and maybe I’m just speaking for
myself here, but we forget the romance, and
the parts of His love that are romantic. Because
there is such a reverence and He is our Lord
and our Savior and all of these things, the
fact that He is almost like our lover is just an
amazing thought, that He is immensely in love
with us. So when we wrote the song, and it
was almost a love song to Him and all of the
