> alli rogers – “you and the evening sky” album review
“You And The Evenging Sky” is is the 3rd release from Alli Rogers and it is further proof that there are many hidden treasures among independant artists. I was eager to listen to this release when I saw that Don Chafer of Waterdeep handled the production of the album. While the album sounds great, Don let’s her unique voice come through without the album sounding like a Waterdeep album.
Lyrically you will find themes of faith, love and how we relate to each other. Whenever I listen to an unfamiliar album I often will use the skip button, but not so on this one.
”My favorite songs were “Carry a Light” and “At Sea”
You can listen to At Sea here

Thanks Kelsey for the song title
Here are the complete lyrics Megan ….
New Today
new shoes in the closet, box on the floor
dress is laid out nicely on the bed
a song is singing slowly
across the street and through my door
and turning over memories in my head
nothing feels new today
I’m just trying to catch the words
before they float away
they’re singing
great is thy faithfulness
great is thy faithfulness
great is thy faithfulness
morning by morning
morning by morning
morning by morning
walking up the church steps
I stop to look around
people seem to stare just like they know
I’m wondering what Jesus
thinks about me now
still carrying a shame I can’t let go
nothing feels new today
I’m just trying to catch the words
before they float away
they’re singing
mercy sounds so holy
for people who are wise
and tears are falling softly on my dress
I feel like an impostor
wearing someone else’s prize
and my heart’s about to beat out of my chest
nothing feels new today
I’m just trying to catch the words
before they float away
don’t float away, keep singing
new mercies I see
could you sing some mercies over me?
I just heard her sing New Today acoustic tonight and it was amazing!! does anyone know the chords to the song though? i cant find them anywhere
Hey Marisa, glad you like the song! I have a new “digital songbook” available at my website (allirogers.com) that has chord charts for every song from all three of my records. New Today is one of those, and it also includes the studio charts we used. Feel free to email me if you have any questions!
Thanks Alli! And by the way I was at The Palace in Bryan and you sounded amazing! Have you ever thought about putting an acoustic album out? I love acoustics and you hit every note so well, anyways.. that would be awesome.
Congratulations on the baby!
