The band, through very disciplined craft and hook, orientation in songwriting, intends to inject new life into the genre of contemporary rock music that is accessible to a large audience looking for both depth and heart.


Sometime is one of those songs that shows Robert Peterson's gift for combining a message with a melody.


Robert Peterson and The Crusade - Sometime

The track starts with what seems like a synth line, but it's a guitar controlled by a MIDI program, and it's single that the creative mind behind the song is, in fact, very innovative, just by the very nature of the opening sound. The song keeps going and becoming more intricate, as relations between the layers and mutual displays between parts characterise the newly discovered powers and dynamics of different sound components. The refrain is particularly "earwormy, " providing very powerful sensations and memories reminding people of their "part" in faith, a feeling that even the worst commitment was now tuned to music and thus has an emotional lift and even replay value.
