SONG STORY
Woken by a massive thunderstorm in the middle of a hot summer’s night down in the Ardeche, I looked to the horizon, and saw a small bush silhouetted on the hillside above me. The flashes of lightning in the backdrop made it look dramatically like it was a young boy standing there in the heart of the storm, looking back at me from a distance. What was a child barely seven or eight years old doing there in the middle of the night? The scene was so surreal that it seemed like a mysterious entity or being had literally appeared out of the storm. It correlated with this fantasy I’ve always had of a race of benign aliens who arrive on earth who let us be to run our planet as we wish. But they are able to bring world peace not through imposing their will, but by simply banishing violence - using their superpowers they are psychically able to control our bodies, and can magnetically ‘freeze’ anyone who engages in any violent or egregious act. Because of these benign alien overlords, the world leaders with all their endless armies and weapons become incapable of taking up arms against each other. That night the bush for me became the Spiritchild, come from afar to save us from ourselves... I was going for an Alphablondie reggae sound, with the heavy stomping piano and soulful social commentary of Nina Simone.


SONG LYRICS
Woken by the thunder I was shaken from my bed / Out of the darkness came the Spirit Child, this is what he said / Please excuse my late arrival, on this ship of light came / A million suns away from here won't you let me know your name? / Spirit Child, let’s call him the Spirit Child / I am weary said the traveller, many light-years I have roamed / So I think that I might stay a while in this garden you call home / So won't you tell me Mister Scarecrow, are you happy, are you sad?  / Love or war, which tribe are we? What's the good news, what's the bad? / Spirit Child, Spirit Child / Spirit Child, bottle green man / You got the power use it if you can / Freeze all this makers, lead us tonight / Out of the darkness into light / Spiritchild I know you come so far, it seems such a pity / Everything so beautiful here in in this sad forgotten world : You scratch beneath the surface, it all look so pretty / But underneath the prodigal son, you’ll find the beast of Babylon / Well I hate to disappoint you, but I think that you might be / Because this garden you call Eden is not quite you see / All the warlords keep on warring, the rest do what they can / Love or war, love or war? It’s all so hard to understand / Spirit Child,/Spirit Child, bottle green man / You got the power use it if you can / rreeze all this makers, lead us tonight / Out of the darkness into light Spirit Child / Spirit Child, oh mighty one / There’s still much work left here to be done / Freeze all this makers, lead us tonight / Out of the darkness into light / Out of the darkness into light
