Restore showcases Aaron & Amanda Crabb's signature harmonies and modern country influences, featuring four selections co-penned by the couple. The project opens with the nostalgia-laden "Time Flies." "Being a mom of four, ministering at a growing church and just being a woman in general, you begin to realize how quickly time slips by you," Amanda says of the inspiration behind "Time Flies." "It's one of those songs that just brings perspective in the crazy, busy, mean world that we live in, reminding us to take in every moment that we have because we won't get them back."
Other highlights of Restore include the title track, a stirring melody carrying a vulnerable prayer written by Amanda; and the swampy "Two Coats," with Aaron's sister Terah Penhollow on vocals and his twin brother Adam Crabb on harmonica. The album also features two powerful worship anthems: "Kingdom Come" showcases a bridge written by the couple's 9-year-old daughter Eva, while "Your Blood" has quickly taken root in the family's new church, Restoring Hope.
"I am driven to Inspirational songs, songs that can relate to people in their everyday lives, the personal things they go through," says Aaron of the project's overarching theme. "Music is powerful. A message and a melody can sometimes do what a sermon can't."
