THE WALLET. THE MIC CHECK. THE LORD'S FOOTPRINTS.

You can believe. You can have faith in music. And maybe music is simply believing, and we’re talking about the same topic. Surely music is often described like "something from above". Or something that comes out suddenly from the inside. And maybe what you feel inside, it’s simply what you perceive above you. And again, inside or above, we’re speaking about the same thing.

There are moments you don’t immediately recognize what’s inside or above. Moments you’re not believing, and what’s coming out from your mouth in front of a microphone, sounds like "air". Vanishing air. The truth is, "vanishing air" becomes faith and music when melts with what’s around you. What’s above. What’s behind. When air meets someone else’s ear, for example, the vanishing transforms itself in astonishing. Something we call "sound". That’s because of the alchemy behind music: music is often a lonely thing when borns. Then grows up, as the right hearts - with the right perceptions and feelings - collide in the same place, at the same time. It’s the mechanics of believing in something and sound.

The song “Should I Wait” is exactly what we’re talking about: image Ray in studio, somewhere back in 2010. Image him, checking the mic, singing some “vanishing air”, just to set the settings. Just to set the mood. Image on the other side of a glass, "the right ear", who feels there’s something in the air. And press the REC button, at the right time, to catch forever that "vanishing cloud of sounds". Then put an experimental and alternative electro-sound composition, as perfect sky for that cloud. Image Ray thinking: “Mmm, yes... There’s something in this non-song I'm singing”. Then for some reason you remember in your wallet you’ve got a sort of “holy picture” reporting a beautiful and evoking poem: "One night a man had a dream. He dreamed
he was walking along the beach with the LORD…”. You read it in front of the mic. To set the mic the better. Suddenly, it doesn’t matter if it was already in air, or above, or deep inside: a song has just created itself.

“Should I wait”, a track not many of you maybe know, something obscure and totally different from Ray usual work, released in 2011 on the Twentyeight album “In the Beginning” as Twentyeight Feat. Ray Wilson, was made of that: a strange electronic instrumental piece, plus some improvised choruses and the reading of the “Footprints in the sand” poem. It's another example of the power of having faith in music.

The message is always believe in music. Always let it creates. Be instruments of your music, and let it leaves as many footprints possible, above and inside you. They will change your long walk.

As the poem says: "I love you and I would never leave you, during your times of trial and suffering…”. Maybe it’s the Lord speaking. Maybe it’s just the Music. Maybe we’re speaking of the same thing.
