Paul "Binzer" Brennan's rhythm work lands like punctuation, while Tony Ungaro's bass and guitar lines wrap around Cousins' singing like a firm hand. The end effect is a polished, authentic sound of contemporary pop, tempered with the lived-in energy of modern rock. Lyrically, "Road to Corinth" transforms echoes from St. Paul's Letter to the Corinthians into an intimate modern narrative.
The song's "road" becomes a moral map: a departure from and pursuit of love, peace, and truth rather than a path to money or hollow knowledge. Hilary Cousins struggles with distracting voices and misleading promises before finding hope in a message of religion that refuses to be simplified.
What makes this song stand out is Cousins' ability to weave the personal into the universal, particular images that seem like they might have happened to anybody. The music propels you ahead, while the lyrics prompt you to examine what you are looking for. In uncertain times, "Road To Corinth" feels like a modest, constant light: a song that argues that the true path is within and relational, rather than outward and acquisitive. The song is introspective without being pompous, lyrical without losing its pace.
This one satisfies and pushes our need for truth and harmony, an encouragement to keep traveling and choose the right path. It's a subtle reminder that genuine direction stems from compassion, bravery, and the daily decisions we make.
