''World of Sand'' is the third album by Servant, released in 1982 on Rooftop Records. ''World of Sand'' was the debut album for Rooftop Records, the new media arm of the Highway Missionary Society (the band's parent organization). The title comes from a line in the last song:Stylistically, this album would mark the beginning of a move away from the blues rock/classic rock style of their first two albums, toward the synth-infused new wave styles that would mark their latter works. == Background == The process of creating this album was tragically overshadowed by a devastating accident the summer before: In the aftermath of their loss, the band members were able to find some catharsis by channeling their grief into the creation of the 8-minute epic, "Sudden Death". The song begins with the optimism of a new day, then suddenly changes with the confusion and anguish over the accident, closing with acknowledgement of God's power over the situation, quoting ("''O death, where is thy sting?''"). Most of the band members contributed to the writing of the song, as well as members of the community, including Susan Palosaari, who lost her son that day. After the intensity of dealing with "Sudden Death", the album closes with the altar call "Come Jesus Come", in which they proclaim their readiness to re-dedicate themselves even after dealing with such tragedy. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「World of Sand (album)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
