Arden, North Carolina \u2014 After \u201cYahweh (Your Will, Your Way),\u201d the ringing affirmation of the Lord\u2019s power that served to introduce 11th Hour\u2019s Amber Lynn as a solo recording artist for Sonlite Records, the gifted singer returns with a more intimate meditation on how the blessing of faith can bring relief in even the darkest moments. Written with Kenna Turner West and Michael Farren, \u201cBathroom Floor\u201d reveals a creative force whose power reaches beyond the confines of a single musical style.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis song was written coming out of postpartum depression,\u201d the artist and songwriter says. \u201cI found myself sobbing on the bathroom floor many times, asking God to take the pain away. The pain didn\u2019t go away, but He gave me His presence, and that alone was enough to carry me through. Everyone has a \u2018bathroom floor\u2019 story.\u201d<\/p>\n
Foregoing bold, dramatic flourishes, \u201cBathroom Floor\u201d underpins Amber Lynn\u2019s compelling performance with subtler contrasts and textures, reinforcing the song\u2019s conveyance of a universal message through an unusually direct, personally informed lyric:<\/p>\n
When it ain\u2019t working, life ain\u2019t winning
Prayers aren\u2019t answered, pain\u2019s not ending
2 am mornings, I can\u2019t stop crying
Can\u2019t get a breakthrough
No matter how hard I\u2019m trying<\/p>\n
When all the platitudes and worn cliches have done all they can do
But I\u2019m still empty, so alone and empty<\/p>\n
I\u2019ve known the joy of standing on the mountain tops with Him
And I\u2019ve felt the rush of courage walking on the waves, facing the wind
But the sweetest moments I\u2019ve ever known have been the ones when I\u2019ve been down so low
And the God who rules and reins over everything
Bends down low enough to sit with me<\/p>\n
Blending a voice of unsurpassed expressive strength, an ability to transmute private experience into songs that can touch multitudes, and an unshakable Christian faith, Amber Lynn shows that she is an artist in touch with a range of listeners as wide as the spectrum of believers.
