“Rest On Us (Flow),” from Naomi Raine’s 19-track album Cover The Earth (Deluxe), released on 21 June, 2024, is an extension of the album’s central theme of seeking spiritual presence. This track differs from the main song “Rest On Us” by providing an extended, improvisational experience. The lyrics focus on an unscripted, spontaneous exploration of the central theme, creating a continuous and immersive soundscape. The track’s purpose is to allow for a deeper and more prolonged moment of reflection and worship, moving beyond the structure of a typical song.
Recorded live in New York, the track’s improvisational nature is a key aspect of its live setting. The live recording captures the unfiltered energy of the moment, with Raine’s vocals flowing freely over the music. This unscripted performance reinforces the authenticity of the album’s message and creates an intimate atmosphere. The “Flow” version of the song acts as a crucial interlude on the album, providing a space for a more contemplative and personal experience, and highlighting the live album’s unique ability to capture genuine moments of worship.
