WHAT I THINK THE SONG IS ABOUT:

"Stratus" appears to be a song about finding love after love. I get the sense that even if a relationship doesn't work out, there will always be another love out there to find. The sunlight breeds new beginnings and new opportunities to find new love.

MY THOUGHTS ON MOMENTS IN GRACE:

Moment In Grace formed as a band back in 2003, hailing from St. Augustine, Florida. Originally the band was called Postcard Audio and they released the "Postcard Audio" EP in 2003. Soon the band changed their name to Moments In Grace. Their debut full length album was released through major label Atlantic Records in 2004, titled "Moonlight Survived". This album featured the single "Stratus" which is clearly the band's biggest track of their career. "Moonlight Survived" turned out to be the band's only full length release of their short musical career. Their last release was an EP called "These Days Will Fade" which was released in 2004. By 2006, Moments In Grace had basically broken up. Moments In Grace was a straightforward, melodic rock band who's lyrical themes are very personal. I believe the first time I heard these guys was on a website called Purevolume where bands would post some of their songs. "Stratus" was definitely the first song I heard and is the band's true high point in my mind. I guess Moments In Grace lead vocalist Jeremy Griffith has gone into the production side of the music business. Other than that, this band was basically grounded almost as soon as it took off.
