For listeners to have a good understanding of MP2 Darkness, they should know that it is like a Psalm. “In the Book of Psalms, you’re not going to get any sugar coating. You’re basically reading someone else’s diary. That’s someone’s real life experiences and how they dealt with God through those experiences.”

“Once I realized my 20s didn’t go the way I had planned it… I had to re-evaluate life in general. How I looked at things because I looked at it with the perspective that everything has to go according to plan.”

The first song on the project is called “Rocking With Ya,” and is about maintaining faith through doubts and difficulties. “I went through that stage with the issue of suffering, with the issue of sovereignty. The two S’s, suffering and sovereignty. Those are the things where I was like ‘What’s going on?’ I realized the answer is that you’ve just got to trust [God].”

Urbina says that one person he knew explained that to him in this manner: It is false to say that God doesn’t care about our suffering because Jesus came to Earth and suffered in his death.

“I might not know what the answer is, but I know what it’s not. The answer cannot be that He didn’t care or He’s indifferent.”
