Revealing (n_reveal.it)

Dear friend,

I didn't start out writing this song with any theme or central idea in
mind.  It was just a great melody that God gave to me, and I did the best
I could with it.  Even when I settled on the title "Revealing," I still
didn't think this song was actually about anything.  The title just seemed
to fit somehow.

But as I got near the end of the song, I realized that everything that
happens in the song parallels the things that have happened in my life
over the course of the last year.  About two years ago, God revealed to me
His plan for my future: to become a Catholic priest.  And about one year
ago, I finally made up my mind to follow Him.  Ever since then, every day
of my life God has revealed to me a little bit more about how the world
works, why some things happen the way they do, what God wants me to focus
on and accomplish in the future, and why.  It's almost never obvious, just
like you may not notice it when a single leaf begins to turn gold at the
beginning of autumn, but gradually the entire tree changes until one day
you look up and are stricken with amazement as you realize for the first
time that the tree is ablaze with color.  So it is with God constantly and
gradually revealing to me everything I will need to know.

My good friend Hendrik Kluwe (a.k.a. Traxler) constantly tells me that
"Music tells us more than words," and in this case he was certainly right.
It's a constant struggle to see God in the everyday things of life, but
this song has helped to make that easier for me.  So, this song is
dedicated to God for all of the ways in which He works in my life, many
times without my even knowing it.

This song is also dedicated to Rita, a close friend of mine who was
greatly hurt by my decision, but who is an even closer friend now because
of it.  (Thanks for being there for me!)

--==Composed by Novus==--

Dedicated to Rita, and to
the glory of God.

This song has a lot of
firsts for me: first IT
release, first song in
3/4 time, first use of
stereo panning, first use
of some new drum samples,
and the first melody that
God ever gave to me in
the middle of Mass...

Greetz go out to...

God: You've been so good
     to me, Lord!
Kerinsky: Hey bro, thanks
     for putting up with
     my 5-meg e-mails and
     constant Web page
     updates!
Traxler: Great work, man!
     If your song Atomic
     Playboy doesn't hit
     the top 3 in
     October, something
     is wrong with those
     voters!
Andreas Viklund: How do
     you DO this?  Two
     months in a row at
     #1, and a strong
     chance at 3. :)
