Mad Season

If You're Gone

Acts 2:1–4 When the day of Pentecost came, they were all together in one place. Suddenly a sound like the blowing of a violent wind came from heaven and filled the whole house where they were sitting. They saw what seemed to be tongues of fire that separated and came to rest on each of them. All of them were filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other tongues as the Spirit enabled them.

LYRICS

Verse 1
When we gather in Your name, hearts as one, expectant flame,
Just as on that Pentecost day, Spirit come and fill this place.
Rushing wind through every soul, tongues of fire make us whole,
Breath of heaven, fall again, let Your kingdom now begin.

Pre-Chorus
We have waited, we have prayed,
Now we lift our eyes and say:

Chorus
Holy fire, gentle rain,
Spirit move through us again.
Like the dawn that breaks the night,
Shine Your glory, burning bright.
Holy fire, gentle rain,
We are changed in Jesus’ name.

Verse 2
As the earth cries out for rain, we long to know You once again,
In the word—like springtime sure, we press to know Your love endure.
Come as showers on the field, every wounded heart be healed,
Revival waters, pure and free, awaken life inside of me.

Pre-Chorus
We have waited, we have prayed,
Now we lift our eyes and say:

Chorus
Holy fire, gentle rain,
Spirit move through us again.
Like the dawn that breaks the night,
Shine Your glory, burning bright.
Holy fire, gentle rain,
We are changed in Jesus’ name.

Bridge
Pour Your Spirit out, Lord, on all flesh,
Young and old will dream, and prophesy fresh.
Every tongue will sing, every knee will bow,
Heaven touching earth right now.

Chorus
Holy fire, gentle rain,
Spirit move through us again.
Like the dawn that breaks the night,
Shine Your glory, burning bright.
Holy fire, gentle rain,
We are changed in Jesus’ name.

Holy fire, gentle rain,
Spirit move through us again.
Like the dawn that breaks the night,
Shine Your glory, burning bright.
Holy fire, gentle rain,
We are changed in Jesus’ name.

Outro
Holy fire… gentle rain…
Come revive us once again.

Holy Fire, Gentle Rain

Matchbox Twenty - Our Song

Formed in Florida, Matchbox Twenty entered the world with a blockbuster -- 1996's YOURSELF OR SOMEONE LIKE YOU. The debut set spawned five hit singles -- "Push," "3 am," "Real World," "Long Day" and "Back 2 Good" and snagged an RIAA Diamond Award certification for U.S. sales exceeding more than 12 million to date. Thomas also raised the band's profile by co-writing and singing on Santana's Grammy Award-winning 1999 smash "Smooth." Matchbox Twenty maintained the momentum with MAD SEASON in 2000 and "MORE THAN YOU THINK YOU ARE in 2002, both of which went multi-platinum and continued to spit out hits such as "Bent," "Unwell," "If You're Gone," "Bright Lights" and "Disease."

But after three albums of hard work and equally hard touring, Matchbox Twenty was ready for a break. Thomas released a pair of Top 5 solo albums which contained several #1 singles, Doucette worked with his band The Break and Repair Method and wrote film music, while Cook led the New Left. The hiatus not only renewed Matchbox Twenty as a band but also seasoned the individual members even further as they came back together for 2007's EXILE ON MAINSTREAM, a greatest hits collection that sported six inspired new tracks which were co-written by the band for the first time ever and included their biggest selling single to date “How Far We’ve Come”. 

In addition to more than 30 million records sold worldwide, Matchbox Twenty has also earned countless accolades, including five Grammy nominations, four American Music Award nods, the 2004 People’s Choice Award for “Favorite Musical Group, and they were named “Best New Band” in the 1997 Rolling Stone Readers Poll.

After EXILE ON MAINSTREAM's Top 5 success, Matchbox Twenty continued the collaborative process as it headed towards NORTH. The romantic "Overjoyed," according to both Thomas and Doucette, was "the first time we felt like we had something special”. Kyle Cook took lead vocals on the incredible ballad "The Way," which he and Doucette penned together. "She's So Mean," meanwhile, represents a "storytelling exercise" during which Thomas, Doucette and Cook sat around a microphone free styling lyrics that they eventually sculpted into the cautionary tale about a hard-to-handle woman who Doucette promises bears no similarity to anyone in the group members' real lives. Listening deeper to NORTH reveals even more different nuances, approaches and feels because of the group-writing dynamic.
 
"Matchbox Twenty is pretty all-encompassing," Doucette says. "Once it gets rolling, we just devote all our time and energy to that. I can speak for everybody on this; it's the thing we hold the most dear because it's the thing we built the longest, so we want to give it its due. We don't make records that often anymore, so when we do we want to devote our time and energy to not only doing it; but also bringing that music to the fans."
