“Facing a New Fight”
Xirpit
Independent (release date: May 3, 2023)
By Robert M. Marovich
Xirpit’s “Facing a New Fight” is a heartwarming hymn wrapped in pop song clothing.
Somber strings and tender piano work set an appropriately introspective tone for a song about hope when one’s life shifts from strength to suffering. “Trust in Him in this dark hour,” Xirpit sings, because help “can be found in one source alone.” Comforting words set to a comforting tune.
Xirpit is Andreas “Andy” Schwengeler, a software entrepreneur who lives in Switzerland and takes to the piano whenever a song idea strikes him—like “Facing a New Fight.”
