Poor Old Lu Digging Deep Letras:
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 breath
and set the stage
prepare yourself for the cynic's rage
is it a question still of who is man?
or how they feel and what i am

but digging deep i found a way
what more do i need to say

gone through life and death
and what remains
if any blemish hang your head in shame
like a fever that just keeps you down
would you simply let it stay around?

'digging deep' i guess i say
is more pridefulness of that day
in truth i know that it is clear
i was distant, God is near

in the goodness and strife
found and empty wanting life
though so long made no sound
with tears i bowed myself down

won't you greet this man
and hear his words
maybe an open ear would make him stir
could a closed heart have saved all man?

digging deep i guess i say
is more pridefulness of that day
in truth i know that it is clear
i was distant, God is near

so now hold your breath and set the stage
prepare yourself for the cynics rage
is it a question still of who is man?
or how they feel and what i am
