Robbie Seay Band – Love Wins
In country music it seems like there is this natural connection for the songwriter to hone in to the pain and suffering we all live in day to day. It’s what separates true country music from everything else, including the pop crap that comes out over the radio. There are some really good country songs that can pull you out of that funk and give you hope and I could probably count on one hand the few that I know of that do it well.
Outside of country music there are some very impactful singer/songwriter/bands out there that possess that ability to give you hope when you seem hopeless. I know, I know, it surprises most of you I listen to more than country… but truth is I listen to a wide variety of stuff. This band, Robbie Seay Band, is one that has really got me thinking lately… and especially this song called Love Wins. I heard it this past weekend when a buddy sang it. (had listened to it a few times before but never actually heard it) and I can’t quit singing it nor playing it.
So many of us suffer broken hearts, broken dreams, broken lives… and it’s great to have a song written to give you Hope in times of hopelessness. The whole premise of the song is simply, Love wins. One of my favorite lines is:
And everything that hurts will be whole again
And love will be the last thing standing
Hope you all enjoy it.
“Love Wins” by Robbie Seay Band

It’s a big world, we are hoping
For a big change, we are broken
In the fading light of a dying sun
We cry for redemption
There is hope, there is hope, there is hope
But everyone who’s lost will be coming home
And everything that hurts will be whole again
And love will be the last thing standing
Can’t stop, you can’t stop the seasons
Don’t stop, don’t stop believing
Keep on dreaming of the day when it all will change
Believe in the end, love wins
If you’re waiting for the time when your sun will shine
Oh, look above cause love wins
If it hurts you, just breathe in
When it pains you, just believe in
The radiant light of the morning sun
We can find our redemption
Love is strong, love is strong, love is strong
It’s been there holding you all along
Everything thrown away will be new again
And love will be the last thing standing
Can’t stop, you can’t stop the seasons
Don’t stop, don’t stop believing
Keep on dreaming of the day when it all will change
Believe in the end, love wins
If you’re waiting for the time when your sun will shine
Oh, look above cause love wins
(2x)
There is hope, there is hope for my lonely soul
There is hope, there is hope to be made whole
There is life, there is life to be set free
There is life there is life surrounding me
There is hope, there is hope for my broken heart
There is hope, there is hope for a brand new start
There is life, there is life give me eyes to see
There is life, there is life you have captured me
Keep on dreaming of the day when it all will change
Believe in the end, love wins
If you’re waiting for the time when your sun will shine
Oh, look above cause love wins

I have his very first CD if you’re interested and don’t already have it. I was first introduced to him through Metro Bible Study. He rocks.

This is the first time I have heard this group, and what an amazing job of songwriting and performing! This could be a classic.

Very cool! I came home after rehearsal on Thursday night and told Katie something very similar to what you’ve posted here about this song and Robbie. I think this song is poetry. When I was mixing it, I envisioned the piano melody as the hope he sings of coinciding with the dawning of a new day – “the radiant light of the morning sun” where “we can find our redemption”. Really wanting the piano to sit on top of the band in those moments.
I’ve been listening to it over and over again!
