SHORT WRITE-UP ON THE SONG
30th February is a date that will never come. The song seeks to address the attitude of waiting to receive something which one already has at hand and most times if one’s mindset isn’t changed; one would wait forever to get something they had all along.
The song is short and is part of a ‘storyline’ that builds into something longer which will be released.
…so you keep waiting for something that already hear
You keep searching for someone who’s already yours
You keep fighting a battle you’ve already won
You still believe that salvation is in the future
Trust me you will wait
Till Thirtieth February
