The Adoring Mess is a music project by 24-year-old Will Taylor. He's creating lyrically confessional worship music - going in a direction that wavers from the current trend of upbeat corporate worship anthems. His songs are prayerful and scriptural, and they seek to embrace fallen humanity with God's love.

They are new every morning.”

Goodbye
My brief, impersonal friend.
Goodbye
