Rae4_F1 Hauntingly beautiful grooves all following the illustrating vocals' lead as it creates quite literally a sound experience that brings you to a different plane of existence.

Dry Bones 03:48
Dry bones, a day comes when you'll wake The day when the earth starts to shake The flesh that you've lost be remade And you'll stand The four winds of earth breathe you life And a relight the fire in your eyes You will leave your graves behind And we'll scream
2.
Into the Sun 03:28
When we fly into the sun It won't be the fire that we thought it was All our darkness turn to light It will be like all our lives before were blind Long dark shadows turn to glow In that unearthly light that no earthly man has known Long lost friends we'll find alive It will be like meeting them for the first time Hold on now, I will meet you in the air Our burdens be lifted off us there There'll be no more heavy loads Just peace we've never known And there will be no more death or pain Our infirmities be washed away Our weak and weary frames will be remade When our towers come undone We will not be overcome
3.
Pomegranate 06:26
Amazing Grace, how sweet the sound I once was lost but now I'm not sure what I've found But there are things I once believed I thought I'd've died for, now they make no sense to me I found a page I'd filled with named But there were three or four I couldn't place And I know that everything must change But You? You stay the same Be Thou my Vision, Lord of Lords My hiding place, my solid ground throughout the storms When everything should fall apart Thou and Thou only hold my heart They say "eat the fruit, spit out the seeds" But this seems more pomegranate than tangerine So strip my hands from every worthless thing Leave the Nazarene Be Thou my vision, Lord of my heart Naught be all else to me save that Thou are
4.
Bright 05:59
waiting on the side of the road. the sun shines on me and i hold my hand up to my eyes to guard the shine, because it's too bright i can't look at it straight. the light's too bright for me o my God, is this how it will be? never looking at You straight? i can't see straight. will i ever see You straight? the Light shined in the darkness. the dark did not understand when the Light shined in my darkness, I covered my eyes with my hands will I see You with my eyes open? Will You still be the red behind my lids?
5.
Babel 04:46
at the top of the tower of Babel high above removed from the rabble of the crowds down below down streets as they'd go speaking in tongues words i've never known when the flood waters came, i watched them rise as i sank underneath, i was baptized when i lost my breath, i turned to greet death met the jaws open wide of a great fish instead but i could not find You there spat out on the banks of the Jordan. met the Baptist but ignored his warning i'm a serpent inside of a tomb that's washed white hiding all of my dead and dry bones deep inside i've got to find the end of myself. got to find the place where I end and You begin
6.
Safe 03:18
when all the works of man shall come undone the wicked and unjust shall turn and run but He who made the world still knows my name so i won't fear the fire at end of days i am safe when wars and rumors rise i won't be caught by surprised the ground on which i stand shall not give way so i won't fear the fire at end of days i am safe
7.
Solid Ground 05:53
Set my feet on the solid ground, I'll stand, stand firm Build my house on the mountain's top, I'll stand, stand firm I won't build on the swirling sand that sweeps away Set my feet on the solid ground, I'll stand always Let the rainstorm come, I will stand firm Let the whirlwind come, I will stand firm Let the wildfire come, I won't get burned Let the earthquake come, I will stand firm
8.
Mountain 03:19
if the mountain fell into the sea, what would it mean to me? would it crush my head? would i find a new place to sleep? will the seas rise up and sweep our towns away? will the oceans boil and the steam rise into space?
9.
Son of Man 04:41
i dreamed i saw a beast with seven heads the waters churned and boiled underneath his steps and all the kings of men, they bent the knee "oh, son of man, what do you see?" i dreamed i saw four horsemen riding forth the four winds of the earth plot out their course and all the men of earth, they begged for death oh, it didn't come to them i dreamed i saw a Man with Seven Crowns the sun and moon and stars all gathered round every knee bowed down and tongue confessed oh, and He made us blessed

Also, a huge thank you to those who made this pressing possible: Chris Arrowsmith, Brenden Bell, John Cotton, Janiece FitzGerald, Nate Heldman, Calvin Johnson, Daniel Johnson, Cody Noble, Lyndon and Anne Tschetter, and Tim Yerrington.

Ben thanks: God, Christ, and Spirit for faithfulness. Danie and our love, Nat and Joel for the blessed rock, Mom and Dad and their unwavering support, Daniel my musical brother, Caleb and his coolness, Scott and his encouraging humble greatness, Tim and his tender heart, Eric my long lost brother.

Joel thanks: the homies at Upstate. I'm humbled and grateful to have worked with a team of brilliant minds who love what they do and the city that they do it for. Also a special shout out to my band mates Nat and Benjamin. Especially Nat for inviting to me to hop on board with SPACESHIPS. I'm stoked to see where the future leads us, as homies as well as a band

Nat thanks: my beautiful wife Michelle for taking risks and loving well. My wonderful family for their support and honest criticism. My Northpoint Vineyard family for being the best church I could ever be a part of. Everybody coming out to shows and showing their support. Josh Sabo for the kick in the pants to take this more seriously. All the people I've had the honor of playing music with: my brothers in Dad Jokes, anybody who's played in my house, and especially Ben and Joel for driving me to be a better musician and helping me put legs on the crazy ideas in my head.

Revelation 21:3-4
And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, “Look! God’s dwelling place is now among the people, and he will dwell with them. They will be his people, and God himself will be with them and be their God. ‘He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death’ or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away.”
