about

This is a new version of the song mentioned in the primary description, and title, of this album.

Another version of this ever-evolving song, it is as always cloaked in a new title that's appraised to the times. Though this is the newest version, this particular instrumental take started off as one of the oldest representations of it. I redid the song during the LMS era, after having resurrected it (from the Like Spinning Plates EP) into 1,333 Ft Guyed Mast, and intended to test out a more upbeat mood and possible band incorporation. I figured the song too incomplete or uncharacteristic, and so discarded it shortly after finishing this draft, in pursuit of other directions for it.

I came across this take again in my car one day while driving to Auburn, AL; the only track on a cd simply labeled "Aye". After having completed multiple newer versions since (Guyed Mast remixes, LMS LP), I found this take to have a simple charm and energy. I had remembered this version fondly since (a year+ ago), but never had an appropriate place or influence to put it as a track until this cd (and it naturally fits right in). I added harmony and gave the song a production make-over. The instruments, and the primary vocal track are as they were from the original "Aye".

lyrics

(Love)
In the likes of your hearts all
All above heights, try to take it in the right light:
You can't run, there's nowhere left to hide
But in His arms that reach out.
This is the way the illuminated door,
I was led to a next-world
(Oh yes) A missed sign, a naked eyeball hides me
Heirs to the ease, sway us
