Lyrics:
Laid back and reeling, 
my memory drags behind.
Somber eyes dim and fade,
refocused on the light.
Once unpaved but now,
All engines are aligned.
Gears pulling heavy digging,
merging earth and sky.
Rebuilding of the Levee, babe.
Rubble piles upon different shades of grey.
Dregs of rabble reconsidering the weight.
Souls drifting sirens looping signals play.
Silent prayers penetrate.
Rebuilding of the Levee, babe.
Rebuilding...
Memories of golden times,
Collections so divine.
Everything you held so tight,
Letting go all night.
Why, asking why,
Masking God from the eye.
Until the holes burn through a clouded mind.
Broken hearts, abandoned trust,
Never will abide.
Heavy stones, shattered homes,
Comfortably inside.
Rebuilding of the Levee, babe.
Rebuilding...
Memories of golden times,
Collections so divine.
Anything you hold so tight,
Letting go alright.

For starters, today is Rients' 35th Birthday so let's wish him a happy birthday!  It is always a very special treat when the Dutch fusion master Rients Draaisma performs, and here he's joined me again on our original, Something Higher.  Rients http://www.rientsdraaisma.com is as deep as guitarists get - simply brilliant - a world class musician who is humble and inspiring to so many.  Check out the lines he creates here over the churning 12/8 time signature.  With Rients' guitar mastery, there certainly has to be something higher.  

Rients has a number of albums out, including Home is Here and his most recent iJAM, which is available through iTunes https://music.apple.com/nl/album/ijam-2016/1218252798 , and is currently finishing something new for us!  Check out his superb gallery of music:  https://soundcloud.com/rients-draaisma and his YouTube channel https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCiKo-VxfXcQvecML3kQhhuw.  Take a look at the live video here of Rients' unique approach to guitar soloing - one that has made him one of the most exciting players I have ever, ever heard.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JJo8o4n6xgA
