Carli Harris & Dormee provide an intimate worship experience for the glory of God with a strong, emotional, and personal message supported by a full melodic and inspiring sound that will encourage and uplift you in your walk with Jesus.
Hindsight; the ability to understand an event or situation only after it has happened or developed.
Notes from Carli Harris about her story and inspiration:
"Hindsight was birthed one night when I sat down at the piano to worship Jesus and the only thing I could think of was my history with Him, where He found me, the in-between, and where I am now all because of Him. In the present moment, sometimes we don't understand what Jesus is doing in our lives, but in hindsight, we look back and see He was there all along even in our darkest moments. We see that when we were far from Him, He was there waiting for us to come home to Him. Hindsight is a vulnerable song about my story; struggles with depression, suicide, abandonment, the lies I believed about myself, and how that resulted in my search for anything new to fill those voids. Despite of where I was and what I was chasing after, Jesus was and is still chasing after me. The song speaks of the breakthrough I encountered as I allowed my Heavenly Father to reveal Himself to me and His love that broke all my chains. It's a reflection upon the comparison of the fearful person I once was, and being brought back to life throughout the years of being developed into the woman God created me to be. I once was like the Samaritan woman at the well that Jesus spoke to in John 4. Jesus is comparing the well to the worldly things we try to quench our thirst with (yet find ourselves left emptier than we were before) and the water He gives you that will forever satisfy. Jesus responded to her at the well saying, 'Everyone who drinks this water will be thirsty again, but whoever drinks the water I give them will never thirst. Indeed, the water I give them will become in them a spring of water welling up to eternal life.' The song ends as a present tense reality where I realize Jesus is the only thing that makes me whole. It's not a declaration that things will get easy in this life after following Christ, but rather, no matter where I end up, I will be okay because Jesus is all I need. He is home."
Notes from Dormee about the music:
"Carli approached me with composing the music for, "Hindsight," with a simple idea. After listening to her demo, I immediately had a vision for the song, the chord progression I could use, and the climatic passion of worship it would turn into. I was inspired by the song, "Take Courage," and how Amanda Cook performed it as a part of Bethel Music. "Hindsight" starts out with a subtle piano line with Carli's vulnerable and powerful vocals and then continuously builds with a contemporary style drum beat and electronic synths joined by a full string orchestra climaxing into an impassioned song of worship. The climax fades with a solo violin and the return of the subtle piano.
lyrics
I wanted something new
I wanted to get through
And then You showed me You
And I, I started to fly
I wanted something new
I wanted to get through
And then You showed me You
And I, I started to fly
So high, You crushed all my lies
So high, I didn’t want to die anymore
‘Cause You, You showed me You
It took me by surprise
Now I see in hindsight
You were right by my side
When I…
I wanted something new
And I wanted to get through
And then You showed me You
And I, I started to fly
I started to fly (2x)
I see in hindsight (4x)
You were right by my side
You gave me something new
With You I can get through
This journey You have shown
I’m not alone
I am home
