THE RESURRECTION (by Matraca Berg: Sunday Morning to Saturday Night)

SUMMARY:                                 RUNNING TIME: 4:34 Min.

It’s the last track from Matraca Berg’s 1997 album, Sunday Morning to Saturday Night.  Berg also co-wrote the song with Alice Randall.

REVIEW:

While its title implies a purely gospel tune, Matraca Berg smartly conveys “The Resurrection” through the hope for urban renewal.  Written in the voice of someone revisiting her small, blue-collar hometown, she observes ways how it has fallen on hard times. 

Simultaneously, this mid-tempo ballad touches upon some personal self-discovery amidst the concept of how one can’t necessarily go home again, but one can sure try.  Berg’s poignant vocals spell out how everyone there keeps on living, just patiently waiting for the town’s own resurrection, as if it’s inevitable. 

Chosen as the album’s finale, “The Resurrection” is a well-played effort by Berg.  It’s certainly worthy of re-discovery.
