Hello Mr Jones
Thank you for coming
Did you travel far?
I’m sure you’ll find it worth it

So, Mr Jones
Tell me, how did you find us?
And what exactly do you think you know?

The Gathering ~ Sparks - Combs - Robinson

FALLING INSIDE OUT

You don't need a fairytale

You don't need a lie

Open mind

You don't need to spell a rhyme

To all your creatures inside

Oh be wild

Ah, descend to tame your pride

The vision may be mild

As you're falling inside out

You better be wise

Wild

You don't need another pain

You don't need a scar

Oh be wild

You don't even need the wind

When you let your wings

Open wide

Fly

And let those wings unfold

Leave it all behind

Your sorrow will be gone

You will finally shine

Beautifully wild

"Falling Inside Out" - Out Now -

Falling Inside Out.

Too Fast

Idea Septiembre2(2 riffs short clip)

This song was written when I felt like all hope was lost. The seed of the song came about a week after I received divorce papers. Up until that point I had hoped my marriage could be saved, but this song is about that hope being smashed and replaced with hopelessness, emptiness, and despair. Don't worry though, there's another chapter to come yet: Golden Heart (Part III - Healing)!

Lyrics:
V1.
For the grief that I've caused
For the loss that we share
I exhale sorrow
For the hope that sits hidden
Behind a wall of despair
I exhale sorrow
Ch.
I exhale sorrow
I exhale sorrow
I exhale sorrow
When I feel only emptiness
Would you tell me that there's something there?
V2.
For the love that is lost
For the hearts that are broken
I exhale sorrow
For the harsh words said
And for those left unspoken
I exhale sorrow
(Repeat Chorus)

John the Revelator is a traditional gospel/blues song typically heard in a call and response format. Its chorus refers to John of Patmos writing about the opening of the seven seals (which brings  about the apocalypse)while the verses contain additional biblical references. The first written version is said to have appeared in 1880, although it's possible the song is considerably older. We've been unsuccessful in locating the specific reference to this date.   Regardless the African-American origins are indisputable and are, unfortunately, not always referenced.  Interpretations have been done by Blind Willie Johnson, Son House and more of late John Mellencamp, Depeche Mode, Gov't Mule and Larkin Poe.

There are a multitude of lyric variations.  We chose these with a bit of tweaking.

Tell me who's that writin’? John the Revelator
Who's that writin'? John the Revelator
Who's that writin'? John the Revelator
He wrote the book of the seven seals

	God walked down in the cool of the day
	Called Adam by his name
	And he refused to answer
	Cause he was naked and ashamed

Tell me who's that writin’? John the Revelator
Who's that writin'? John the Revelator
Who's that writin'? John the Revelator
He wrote the book of the seven seals

	You know he had twelve apostles
	And three he led away
	He said, Watch with me one hour,
	'till I go yonder and pray


Tell me who's that writin’? John the Revelator
Who's that writin'? John the Revelator
Who's that writin'? John the Revelator
He wrote the book of the seven seals

	Well who is worthy, thousands cried holy 
	Bound for some, Son of our God
	Daughter of Zion, Judah the Lion 
	He redeems and binds us with his blood

Tell me who's that writin’? John the Revelator
Who's that writin'? John the Revelator
Who's that writin'? John the Revelator
He wrote the book of the seven seals
