For My Sunday Song #438, we are talking “He Will Provide” by the band Inglorious. The song is from their 2021 album ‘We Will Ride’ which was released on February 12 of that year. This is not a band that charts here in the U.S. as most people here probably have never heard of them which is a shame because lead singer Nathan James might be one of the best new singers out there…period!! The rest of the band are no slouches either and consist of Danny Dela Cruz and Dan Stevens on dual guitar roles, Vinnie Colla on bass and Phil Beaver on drums.
The song was written by lead singer Nathan James and the main riff came from Dan Stevens. Nathan wanted to write a song about an end of times vibe where everyone was waiting on their Savior to return and redeem them all. The people believe their Lord is all powerful and will provide for them at the end it all, thus the title. The song is about Faith, overcoming life’s challenges and God’s Grace. And funny thing, Nathan is not really religious. He simply finds religion fascinating. Ultimately, the song is a message of hope and encouragement.
The song was influenced heavily by Scorpion’s Uli Jon Roth who Nathan was listening to at the time and Dan came up with that riff. The rhythm guitar has a middle-eastern vibe to it. I believe Nathan once said something to the effect that the song’s real role is to showcase the dual guitar work of the band and man does it every do that. The riffs at the beginning are simply heavy and rocking and that dual guitar solo is freaking insane. Over-the-top and dramatic which fits the song perfectly. The guitars make the song, Nathan’s vocals are simply icing on the cake. The killer bass work and drumming are the sprinkles.
Give the song a listen and let me know what you think. What you think of the guitars and Nathan’s voice? I think you need to go search out this album and the band, you won’t be disappointed. Thanks for stopping by and I hope you all have a wonderful and Happy Sunday…finally a song appropriate for a Sunday!!
“He Will Provide”
Another human sacrifice
We raise a glass for those who’ve died
Hear me fear me
We fan the flames we turn the tides
The people run the children hide
We’re waiting for heavenly father to rise
And he will burn the sky sky tonight
He will provide
His mantra must not see the light
Their rebel hearts quick to abide
Hear me fear me
The innocent have turned away
They’re waiting for their judgement day
We’re waiting for heavenly father to rise
And he will burn the sky sky tonight
He will provide
We’re waiting for heavenly father to rise
And he will burn the sky sky tonight
He will provide
We’re waiting for heavenly father to rise
And he will burn the sky sky tonight
He will provide
We’re waiting for heavenly father to rise
And he will burn the sky sky tonight
He will provide
Written by Nathan James
