    Fast, catchy song with bright guitar and mysterious middle section. Flowing melody and song structure, deep and passionate lyrics which relate easily to all people who find themselves in an emotional struggle.

    Story Behind the Song
    Trials was written to encourage myself and others to 'keep on keeping on' no matter how tough things get. The concluding statement in the song states that "the joys of life are worth their sufferings"
    I wrote the song at home during a very creative song writing period, which was most likely stimulated by attending a full time songwriting course at a creative arts college.Heavy amounts of time spent rehearsing but recording wise it only took 4 or 5 takes with a couple of vocal takes. Mixing took a good 3- 4 hours and became an instrument of it's own for the song when creating the vocal effects etc. There was very little overdubbing used in the final version, 99% of it is live takes, which we prefer, to capture the groove and spirit of the piece as a collective all at once.
    -Brodie

    Lyrics
    I've walked with the good
    I've walked with the wicked
    Been slandered and cursed, honoured and praised
    Worked with white collars,I've worked with the labourers
    In sports and arts I have played
    I've roared like a lion, purred like a cat
    Gone to extremes, I've held myself back
    Felt great victory, endured the loss
    Led with direction and I've gotten lost

    And sometimes I wish that four walls would surround me
    With bars on the windows and chains on the doors
    By my love for you will always make me step out to suffer the trials of this world

    I've been through the seasons
    Through rain and sun
    Counted myself fortunate, considered myself cursed
    Seen a new-born child, seen an ended life
    I've been guilty and innocent alike

    And sometimes I wish that four walls would surround me
    With bars on the windows and chains on the doors
    But my love for you will always make me step out to suffer the trials of this world

    Seen the beauty, witnessed the ugliness
    Yeah I've watched dreams shatter
    And the making of new visions
    But I still believe the joys of life are worth their sufferings
    The joys of life are worth their sufferings

    And sometimes I wish that four walls would surround me
    With bars on the windows and chains on the doors
    But my love for you will always make me step out to suffer the trials of this world
    So come on!
