BRETHEREN ADIEU! | AMMONIUS SOULSTAR
Ammonius Soulstar never just leaves a room—he exits with style. Whether it's moonwalking out of sacrament meeting or dramatically flipping his cape at a testimony meeting (yes, he owns a cape), Ammonius knows that a farewell is only temporary when you’ve got faith. Enter "Brethren, Adieu," a Book of Mormon-inspired R&B groove so smooth, it could convince a Pharisee to two-step.
Inspired by Jacob 7:27, where the prophet Jacob passes the records to his son Enos and bids farewell, Ammonius saw something deeper—this wasn’t just a goodbye, this was a rendezvous in the making. Because in the gospel, there’s no such thing as a final farewell. LDS music has never quite embraced le funk like this before, but then again, neither has the Book of Mormon. The result? A celestial mix of faith, funk, and French sophistication—because why settle for an ordinary goodbye when you can say adieu with a full brass section and a synthesizer?
Legend has it, Ammonius wrote this track after staring at a painting of Nephi for too long in a Parisian café, contemplating resurrection over an espresso. Others say he was simply inspired by a dream where he and Enos performed a synchronized dance number on the Champs-Élysées. Whatever the truth, one thing is certain: this song is an 80s-infused testimony that death is not the end, and the Savior’s embrace is waiting on the other side. So dust off your finest silk suit, adjust your beret, and let the gospel groove take you higher.
