Description

Mountains Of Hope is a song about great faith and belief in a vision. It's about doing what one needs to do in order to reach a cherished goal. It's about climbing the mountains of our hopes.

Goodnite a great little kick ass tune about "backsliding" in the Christian sense of the word. Of not being the person everyone else might seem to think you are.

New Life, a nice little pop/rock tune very Beatle-ish in its feel. This one is about LOVE and relationships ... whether they be on a human plane or in a spiritually divine way. As the listener I can think of my love for God as well as for another person in my life. I am singing the harmonies in all the choruses and Stew is doing the vocal harmony in the bridge.

State Of Mind is about what we carry in our heads on a daily basis. Many of us live unhappy lives just from the negative thoughts we carry every single day, most times, never being aware that we are even doing so. Change your thinking is the message here, and change it for the good. The original lik for the intro of the song sounded too much like an REM song, so we played it backwards and it came out great! I had been reading at the time how The Beatles had begun experimenting with playing stuff backwards during the Revolver sessions, so that's really what gave me the idea.

No Conditions another Beatle-ish type pop/rock song plainly a song about "unconditional" love. "To love someone yet set them free to grow" to love without smothering the other person ... To love without always expecting something in return, but simply because you love them I even use the picture of Jesus Christ dying on the cross for those He loved. Easy to write, very challenging to do.

Alrite, a nice little rocker about romance, dreams and other obligations. Simple yet powerful.

Piece Of My Heart a song about lost love and disappointment. Real "classic rock" feel here with a bit of blues thrown in.

Fire, a tune about the irresistible Spirit of God and how it draws men and women enlightening them to truth and the more important things of this life.

Home, is about following a dream that the creator has placed in your heart. No matter what others may say or think about it, pay no mind to them just do what you were meant to do.

Rose From The Dead, is a personal testimony of my life. A lot of wasted years, running in circles. Slowly but surely getting my act together over the years, with the help of some GREAT books, including The Secret and The Power Of Your Subconcious Mind.

The Trial, was written with a metronome set at 3/4 time. Because Joe (my drummer) suggested I write some songs in different time signatures. The idea was a good one, and I've now got several songs other than 4/4 time. This song is about having faith in the unseen force (or God, if you will) that guides the lives of those that seek its guidance.
