Eric Church: ‘I Believe These Halls Will Roar Again’
Eric Church posted a video message to fans, along with a clip of a song he recently recorded, “Through My Ray-Bans,” which describes his thoughts during this COVID-19 pandemic.
Eric said in the video reciting the song’s lyrics, “Where there once were roars, now there are just echo. The handshakes and the hugs of yore are now too dangerous. But I don’t believe in fear. I don’t believe in panic. I don’t believe in all this complexity. This damn virus has any idea what it’s up against: The American resolve, steeled by the world, steadied by faith, calmed by song, healed by prayer. Oh, I believe. Damn right, I believe.”
He continued, “I believe these halls will roar again. These stadiums will be deafening and the answer to this enemy. The silence of now will cower at the noise of soon. When the question of who will answer this call is asked thousands will raise their fists and say I will. We will. And we damn sure will. Where fear preys, we will feed. Where pestilence stalks, we will hunt. I feel for our enemy, for it has no chance. It has no prayer. And I believe, I believe our best is yet to come. We shall rage. We shall roar. I cannot wait to see you again through my Ray-Bans.”
