Good music is always reaching into the past and into the future. That is the only way we can find rooting in the present. I ... more hope you can hear some of that in these songs.

In much of this work I've tried to blur the musical distinctions between places like the Gregorian church, the pioneer cabin, the cotton field, the sidewalk, the rock stage, and the organ in your grandma's house. less

Track Name: Kyrie
I have waited here for so long
I have looked to you for so long
And I hide myself
in the shadows of a thousand seeds
I once planted every time you spoke with me.

And I can hear a kyrie rising from the ground.

I have stumbled here for so long
I have looked for you for so long
And I hide myself
in the shadows of an ebenezer
I have built for every time I wrestled you

And I can hear a kyrie rising from the ground
And I can hear a kyrie rising from the ground
From 'neath a million pieces of myself all strewn around
it is crawling out to tell me who I am
Track Name: Brother
The long lost brother returns
and falls down on his knees
Bring me the robe, bring me the feast,
it's been so long since I have had peace

Blood cries up from the ground
and spills down into this cup
Take now this bread, take now this wine,
may this cup pass my lips and be cast to the swine

Crumbs fall down to the hounds
and faith comes to those who are blind
Lay me to rest within your tombs
for beneath this house there are many rooms
