Cannot Escape Your Love is a song about giving into the love that we all need. Inspired by the story of the prodigal son, the song follows the internal journey of a person who is wrestling with love and attempting to run away from it. Thinking they know better, thinking they can bury themselves in distraction and busyness, thinking they can avoid ever having to be dependent on anyone else, too afraid to give in and hand control over to love. And yet, throughout the pain and hiding and the fighting, love is there waiting to be found, waiting with open arms. The story of salvation, the story of repeatedly turning to Jesus is one where we wake up to this reality - our loneliness sparks the pursuit of something more, something that's missing, and our prodigal hearts long to be home again.
From being homeless and addicted to alcohol on the streets of Edinburgh, to rehabilitation and performing on a global stage, Steph Macleod tells a story of recovery, finding redemption through his faith, and the unrelenting power of music.
