Act of Congress takes “Such Great Heights,” the Postal Service’s electronic love song, and plays it on acoustic instruments, with harmonies that make a familiar song sound brand new. It’s a reminder that a good melody can wear different clothes and still be itself. I’ve tried that with my wardrobe, with much less success. The song is about two people who fit together so well it feels planned from above. Through a Christian lens, maybe it was. The people placed in our lives aren’t accidents; they’re gifts. So listen closely, think of someone you love, and tell them today. Then share a song that lifts you with someone who needs lifting.
“Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above.” James 1:17
