The Neal Morse Band’s fifth studio album L.I.F.T. is nilled as a record that “stands toe to toe” with the group’s rated 2016 LP The Similitude Of A Dream. It’s another virtuosic concept album that continues the NMB’s tradition of spiritually-themed storytelling.
“There’s an arc to it, but I suppose it’s really about belonging,” Morse tells Prog of the follow-up to 2021’s Innocence & Danger. “You start out feeling like you belong with your parents, then you break from them and you might not feel like you really belong in the world. It talks about reaching for God or a higher power or however you want to put it, and God bringing us back to wholeness.”
