Higher Spirit (The Only One)
boudreau
There’s a higher spirit
Nothing comes near it
I do declare it’s quite a ride
And the heart will chase it
Egos embrace it
You can’t erase it from your life
And when ya can’t escape the rain clouds…

Its Coming On

Can't ya feel it start to unwind
Can't ya see it or am I just blind
Can ya hear it slippin' out of time
Do you fear it in the back of your mind
I can't shake it I feel it's shaking me
I try and break it right across…

Do any of us have any idea of what we are doing? Can we ever get it right, and do we understand the importance of blind faith? And again, the antagonist.

Don't tell me how it is, I'm good, I got it, I got it. But are we blind, and are there cracks in a facade? The riff was what came first, probably while watching the idiot box one evening. I am pretty sure it came very soon after RPM '15, and I…

A song about being self-centered, it needed to be full of angst and antagonism, but also needed the glimmer of something bigger still. Already people have sent me notes, which I am grateful for, but everyone seems to misinterpret the meaning of…

This song is meant to be the intro, set the stage, and talk about the direction of the album. The riff came to me while I was absent-mindedly noodling on my gtr in front of the idiot box one day. I knew at that point I had an album opener of a…
