Name: This Machine (Shall Not Break You) by The Belly Hymns Project
Duration: 5 min 58 s
Description: This machine shall not break you, shall not take you, shall not keep you from being free....

Today we bury my father-in-law. I recorded this song many years ago and offer it here in honor of his life and passing. In life and in death, we belong to God.

When I Die

This machine shall not break you, shall not take you, shall not keep you from being free....

This Machine (Shall Not Break You)

Let's call this a kind of Neo-Folk Trance Fusion.

I had a lot of fun working with this song. It was originally recorded on a Tascam 424 in my home studio in West Virginia in the mid to late 90s as a series of so far unreleased recordings with Peter Sabath that predated Belly Hymns. (I loved this particular song so much I used it as the theme song for my PeaceGrooves Podcast). This version was edited and produced on a MS Surface using Audacity and Acid Pro 7.  This is best listened to with headphones or your speakers cranked up to 11. Enjoy!
