Been waiting 20 years to use that song. Finally did it....lol

Speaking of John Elefante found this by him.

I would say that is the first (and so far only) instance of Christian psychadelic rock I've ever seen/heard...

flashing colored lights in the video... sounds stylistically similar to the music of the late 60/early 70s (Pink Floyd, Beatles, Doors, Grateful Dead etc., etc., etc. all those kind of bands)

HOWEVER, it is very good...

and who/what it is... it doesn't exist on the Internet... I can't even find anything with my mid-to-high level l33t-style hacker skillz... lol

nevermind, found it... I needed to just use my obvious, non-l33t skills and click the link to the profile of who uploaded the video... lol

none of the stuff on his site is working for me... but that could be 'cuz its 3 am and I'm going on 2 hours actual sleep and an hour car sleep and tons of crazy/fun/draining stuff in the last 48 hours... lol

live version of Seventh Day Slumber's "My Struggle" I love this song:

I love this song... "WAKE ME COME ON AND WAKE ME UP NOW I WANT TO CUT OFF MY STRINGS AND PRAY!!" "CUT YOUR STRINGS AND BE FREE WITH ME!!" "Everybody, shake your body, lift your hands, stop fronting YOUR JUST A PUPPET!!"

Thousand Foot Krutch "Lift It" (not sure if this is the old version of the new one... awesome worship song... ignore the Naruto video (silly Naruto fans lol))

Skillet "Locked in a Cage" (old school from like 10 years ago when Skillet went full-industrial/techno rock (they're back to more metal now, but still have some industrial elements)... love this song... just... the passion and desire and just... readiness to give everything up to be God's and be with Him... awesomeness)

Emery "So Cold I Could See My Breath"
(awesome song... I am actually kind of amazed that they wrote this, because t probably turned a lot of people off... Christians because it was "graphic" (not really, but its obvious that the song is about sex (I'll post the lyrics)) and non-Christians 'cuz its pretty obvious anti-sex (which is how its about sex... but yeah...))

lyrics:

Let’s start with just the basics then
I’m sure that we could fake it when
It’s time to say how much it meant
And we walk out so innocent

You can be so persuasive
When you say it’s
More than a day trip
And convince me
I’m condescending
When I ask, “Will this be ending?”
How quickly lust can pretend that it's love

We’re just the boys and girls that think they always know
With answers for the world
The ambiguity shows
We’re just the boys and girls that dance with all their clothes
(we are the boys and the girls)
Hiding under the sheets
Believing nobody knows

All the suspense
That we’ve created
Now it’s wasted
And we can’t change it
The beginning to the ending
I find myself remembering

How quickly lust can pretend it's love
Designing words to help us believe
It’s so much more than just tonight
So we have got to get this right
How quickly words can become our hands (you want it more, you want it more)
Resigning everything we believe (you want it more, you want it...)
You want it, you want it
More

We’re just the boys and girls that think they always know
(we are the boys and the girls)
With answers for the world
The ambiguity shows
We’re just the boys and girls that dance with all their clothes
(we are the boys and the girls)
Hiding under the sheets
Believing nobody knows

You could be the one to stay
Made from earth for just this day
But something tells me it’s not right
That we could lose it all tonight
I’m no better on my own
Leave the message on your phone
Always trying what I can to be a child and not a man

We’re just the boys and girls that think they always know (we are the boys and the girls)
With answers for the world
The ambiguity shows
We’re just the boys and girls that dance with all their clothes (we are the boys and the girls)
Hiding under the sheets
Believing nobody knows

My hands across your clothes (my hands across your clothes)
And me with all the plans
(Something I’ll be)
To keep us boys and girls (to keep us boys and girls)
Another woman and man
(So that I won't always lose)

finally:

Jonah33 "Faith Like That"
(this is seriously probably the most powerful song I have ever heard in my life... I saw them in concert in '06 and they played this song for 20 minutes and it was just... incredible...)

Speaking of Psychadelic this artist played guitar for Iron Butterfly at one time. You will notice an underlying dose of it in this song from the early 80's.

TIME by Phil Keagy.

The studio version was smoother but this gets the message across that TIME wont always be around.
