about

Out of the ashen rubble of a tragic fire that took away the home GGF recording studio, (and Xwan's dog, Coco), this song arises as a battle cry for Hope and Faith, in spite of the grief and despair.

lyrics

In the great expanse outstretched
A richness yearning to be fostered
Inseparable from the choosing
Never taken advantage of abusing
Living sounds arise to listen for
Bombarded by vacant echoes
Revival of distant memories
As though enchanted dreams
Too enticing to pass up
Too good to keep my hands off of

It only takes a little bit to know the whole way over
Down dusty roads yet seldom tread crushed underfoot and weathered
To seal a promise made with patience, really makes one wonder
When to say when, when to stand up, when to stop breathing water

By the sweat of our brow,, By the cut of our jib
We'll take our place prepared before all things
Right beside our Beloved
Come stand beside me brother, come rest beside me sister
We'll ride these waves through thick and thin
And overcome it all together

Gaining on the ground and open ocean
Anchors away clench fisted
Holding fast to the strongest of convictions
No one can avoid it now
The iron clad who pick up on our scent
Heralded by light of ageless ages
Silver ripples dancing on edge
Rendering obsolete any room to question
These calloused knuckles gripping on to fiber lines bound
And threaded through an early room to wait

Oh, and I'm so glad
That we'll never have to play pretend, never have to say we're friends
Oh, and I'm so glad
There's no accounting for the things we meant, catching on to the grace

Better get ready, here comes another one...

about

Good God Father Sheridan, Oregon

"Freak Gospel Pop", emanating from the dark woods of Oregon, Good God Father molds the archaic with the imminent to reconcile the past with the present, in order to author and usher in a more beautiful future. Marked by somber and sober guitar and vocals, on a march through Armageddon. Sweet and surrendering, while brash, and abrasive sounds to wake the living and dead, in time for dessert. ... more
