Sundi Jo Releases 'Jesus and Time' - A Haunting Portrait of an Abusive Relationship
Singer/Songwriter Sundi Jo has announced the release of her single “Jesus and Time,” launching on March 3.
With powerful vocals and haunting lyrics, "Jesus and Time" offers a poignant and heartbreaking glimpse into the world of domestic abuse and addiction. The song is a testament to the struggles of those trapped in cycles of violence and trauma, trying to break free from those abusing them and the coping mechanisms controlling them.
The song's protagonist is a woman who finds herself in an abusive relationship, struggling to cope with the pain and isolation it brings. As she drinks herself into oblivion, she wonders if she’ll ever find freedom. Only Jesus and time will tell.
"Jesus and Time" is a deeply personal and passionate song. The raw power of Sundi Jo’s vocals and the dramatic yet stripped-down production lend an intimacy to the song, making it all the more haunting yet hopeful.
“I wrote this song after watching a friend struggle desperately with the ins and outs of an abusive relationship,” said Sundi Jo. She would go back to the man abusing her and then isolate herself from everyone who loved her. Then, when she would get the courage to leave him, she would continue to isolate herself from those who loved her and drink herself into oblivion. It was a never-ending cycle of shame, and it was so hard to watch because there was nothing I could do about it. I couldn’t fix it. So one night, I was sitting on the porch hurting because she was hurting, and I wrote this song.”
In a time when domestic violence rates are rising, "Jesus and Time" offers a powerful reminder of the need to support survivors and help them break free from their abusers.
“The song is sad, yes,” said Sundi Jo. “But in the midst of the raw lyrics, there’s hope. Hope that it’s not too late to break free. Hope that God can redeem the time and pull you out of the pit.”
"Jesus and Time" is available on all major streaming platforms, including Spotify.
