Story behind EVOLVE
Click here for soundclip

Lyrically, Evolve comes out of that place where we start to feel connected to all of Life - where we can see our place in the natural world. Life is short, the stuff that is important is the stuff we can pass on.

Musically, I wanted to play with mixing BIG drums with this string trio thing... I finished the lyrics, two nights before we performed it.

Evolve

Vitam Edoceo Vitam

Four billion years of evolution / A lifespan's the froth on windswept tide Peel off the fears and savage delusions / savaged illusions And wave after wave of the old gods die

And Life teaches life - one thing: evolve

Deep in the seed that moves between us / The shape of the meaning as cells combine The weave of the dream before we see it/ Leaves trace elements of your hand in mine

And Life teaches life - one thing: evolve

Life teaches life We are a glance in a great eye watching Life teaches life Through every mind the seed is passing Life teaches life - one thing: evolve

A strand in the web of all existence / Revealed in the joy of a midnight kiss Spanning the centuries of starlit distance / Or so it would seem on a night like this

Life teaches life - one thing: evolve
