"This is the one that you serve. This is the one...you call master...friend... This is the one... This is the one that you pray to. This is the one who holds you. This is the one that carries you through ruin, through the fiery furnace and the winds and the storms of RAIN. THIS is the one...this is the one... He's come...looking, SEARCHING... I shall follow You, all the days of my life, CHOOSE YOU this day, whom you shall serve. Make a decision in your heart who to follow. Don't be WAVERING like a man tossed about the sea by every wind in doctrinal teaching, no no no... Like a pitbull, make it clear, plain upon a tablet, for though it may seem like it takes forever to come, it shall come at His timing. The words which He spoke, and is still speaking, shall not return unto Him, boy, but they shall accomplish their purpose."
"That anointing, which it says shall teach us all things shall... That anointing, which as His teaches us all things, shall teach you, all things shall cause you, to bring into remembrance, all the words I have spoken to, they BURN and YEARN inside to seek your face, to seek your presence..."

"The Holy Spirit, guiding every step, teaching and showing and revealing and moving on their hearts, lives. Call them to the closet. To haul them to kneel before You, birthing them the desire to get on their knees for You. Seek your faith. Pray right now. That desire...planted and rooted in their spirit. Let it get down on their spirit... Let it get down on their spirit, man... Let it get down on their SPIRIT, the fact that they have to seek YOUR WORD, enquire, Your ways, DAILY, and died the self, DAILY..."
From the criminally underrated c.layne, proving both the depths of the sea and the reaches of space are equally terrifying. Probably his best batch of songs too. aphrodisiac
Grainy, lonesome indie guitar rock from a real cool, generous guy out of Chicago and his new band. I've already written too much about this one on the album's page... aphrodisiac
Synthy, warped, and one I had to get on CD the moment I saw it was available. If you like live looping and ambient stuff, the rest of State Shirt's discography is pretty fantastic as well. aphrodisiac
