 Emo rock fans put on your Converse high-tops and head on over to the local music emporium to pick up A Man Can Change His Stars by the fresh new group Mourning September.  You will like it.  Yup.

Mourning September is the latest addition to charge out the of the impressive Floodgate Records lineup.  There heartfelt, dramatic, emotional rock will please fans of Dashboard Confessional and Further Seems Forever-not surprising since James Paul Wisner (FSF and early Dashboard producer) is at the helm of this project.   

Lyrically A Man Can Change His Stars explores the fertile fields of faith rather than mine the rocky realms of romance that so many emo bands explore.   The song “Lights and Jewels” (dedicated to a friend who died tragically) paint poignant pictures of the joy Christians have amid despair:

Death came like a thief to break her free
And carry her to life
It stole her from all that she loved 
And saved her from what could have come
After all of this
I know she saw a door standing open
With lights and jewels and fields forever,
Let her braid a flower in her hair (and there stood the Christ)
She never knew she would see you this soon
