Review

Still Here is the latest EP from Rich & Lydia Dicas consisting of five beautiful yet deeply vulnerable tracks.

The opening number and title track on the EP 'Still Here' is an atmospheric masterpiece. With its elegant strings and soft vocals, you really are captured into the song with its beauty. The song is about being in-between pain and promise and waiting. This song is for anyone who is still hoping, waiting and still praying for God to move and is a deep and genuine track that sets the tone for the rest of the EP.

What blew me away first...
Read More Still Here is the latest EP from Rich & Lydia Dicas consisting of five beautiful yet deeply vulnerable tracks.

The opening number and title track on the EP 'Still Here' is an atmospheric masterpiece. With its elegant strings and soft vocals, you really are captured into the song with its beauty. The song is about being in-between pain and promise and waiting. This song is for anyone who is still hoping, waiting and still praying for God to move and is a deep and genuine track that sets the tone for the rest of the EP.

What blew me away first about the song 'Not Ok' is how musically it sounds like it was created by Radiohead, there is so much creative musicality in the sound created.

'Where Are You Now'? is such a personal song, it's so close to being as honest before God as you can get. The songwriters have created such a powerful, raw and honest track in 'Where Are You Now'?, that is really atmospherically beautiful. But within that beauty is such a candid and frank honesty in their song-writing. Listening to it, I was left breathless as the song played, you get lost in the agony of the song.

'Do It For Her' is a raw passionate cry to God, the song is so emotional but the songwriter here is so direct in its words. For me I have to say how the song cleverly leaves space for the instruments to play out the song. It sounds like it creates a space to see what can happen.

The song 'Not Going Anywhere' Is something really special. It's an explosive and defiant declaration of faith inspired by John 6. It's epic. I honestly don't have the words to explain this song. It has so much going on musically, so much going on lyrically, which is poured from the heart. As Rich Dicas says of this closing EP track "It's a song for those who are choosing to stay - not because it's easy, but because love won't let them leave." Not Going Anywhere is for me simply a flawless track, it has highs and lows, it has passion, it has heart, it has honesty and intensity and personally I think it's the perfect way to encapsulate this EP.

Could this EP be one of the most honest selections of songs ever written and recorded? Not that the question needs answering or needs discussing. All I know is with 'Still Here' we have an EP full of raw, direct personal prayerful conversation with God. I think the best sum up of this EP comes from the songwriter himself. Rich says "the invitation for anyone listening is to approach these songs as an invitation for deeper connection with God rather than a turning away. To find him in the middle of our suffering and not just in the hope of escaping it... Our hope is that would take away from these songs permission to be more honest with God and to realise that he’s a loving Father who wants to meet us and embrace us in all circumstances". These five songs do that and so much more.
