Cassandra Jenkins covers Eartheater for SoS and The 988 Suicide and Crisis Lifeline
“I was struck by the beauty of the song. I, of course, was just completely in love with the string arrangements. And when I dove deeper into looking at the lyrics, they were talking about some things that I've been thinking about deeply through the past probably two years and hit me harder than I kind of expected. The opening line of this song, it's something that we've probably all heard before, which is that the only way out of this is through. It is the main lyric, which is something you might see on like a motivational poster or something, but re-contextualize into this deeper look at what faith and hope are. We think of these words attached to religion a lot of the time. And I think this isn't specifically talking about religious faith, religious hope. This is talking about a much broader hope and faith.” - Cassandra Jenkins

“The only way out of this is through
Flames are but dew
Upon my skin with you
I've seen the phoenix rise
Out of our ashes
Born out
Born out of it
Born out
Born out of it”
