Thread Starter its a beauty        I really enjoyed the discussion on DFBB. Here the opener for Alarma! Central Theme from the album "¡Alarma!" Words and Music by Terry Taylor ©1981 Paragon Music Corp./ASCAP Central theme, the most important thing Central theme, the tie that binds together Central theme, every line is breathing Central theme, another heart receiving Shining in the center, my Lord in the center Jesus in the center, revolving around Him Always revolving around Him Solar screams, I am nothing Vibrations under the rings, how great you are Moon like a gong, how great you are Central theme, the object of affection Central theme, the core of our perfection Central theme, moving upward in direction Central theme, changing musical conceptions Shining in the center, my Lord in the center Jesus in the center, revolving around Him Always revolving around Him Infinite space, I am nothing Infant moves in the womb, how great you are Wind and sea, I am nothing Ghost of the heart, how great you are Solar screams, I am nothing Vibrations under the rings, how great you are Moon like a gong, how great you are Who is on the throne you find, the King of Kings He's the one I have in mind, the central theme Lord of Lords, Lord of lords, Lord of Lords... Fairly obvious what Terry is talking about, but anyone got comments? I particularly like the line about changing musical conceptions 12-13-2004 09:33 dorfsmith Grand Encephalon Registration Date: 03-24-2002 Posts: 28,142 Location: Everybody needs a persicom I like that line too. I don't really have a comment for this one since it is kind of cut and dry but I will say that it is a great tune. I bought Alarma for the first time at a calvary chapel bookstore right when it was reissued on CD. They had about ten copies that ended up sitting on the shelf for years __________________ http://www.google.com 12-13-2004 10:24 dorfsmith Grand Encephalon Registration Date: 03-24-2002 Posts: 28,142 Location: Everybody needs a persicom Moon like a gong I like that too __________________ http://www.google.com 12-13-2004 10:25 dorfsmith Grand Encephalon Registration Date: 03-24-2002 Posts: 28,142 Location: Everybody needs a persicom ¡Alarma! from the album "¡Alarma!" Words and Music by Terry Taylor ©1981 Paragon Music Corp./ASCAP It's a brain drain laid down on the reel to reel The warning of the after life the after birth And telling how we feel Alarma, somebody's crying Alarma, somebody's dying Alarma, somebody's turning away Sugar cane in cellophane is playing at the radio station Laughs out in the gallery believing that it's all elation Alarma, somebody's pleading Alarma, somebody's bleeding Alarma, somebody's turning away A wise guy in the sky invites you to a guilty party Won't charge you at the door But sure knows how to get your money Alarma, he's pointing a finger Alarma, he's such a dead ringer Alarma, somebody's turning away Somebody's turning away, somebody's turning away Alarma, somebody's turning away Alarma, somebody's turning away Alarma, somebody's turning away __________________ http://www.google.com 12-13-2004 11:40 dorfsmith Grand Encephalon Registration Date: 03-24-2002 Posts: 28,142 Location: Everybody needs a persicom The American Church for the most part is phony. I've was involved in a church that cut the youth funding (because the kids looked too "punk rock" and were not acting like "Christians" ) and put that money into new carpet. Not much has changed since this song was written. I also see churches turning a cold shoulder to the sinner because of the sin. I've seen a lesbian couple pressured to leave a church. I myself have had the church turn it's back on me when I needed them most. In another thread I mentioned that reaching out to one person on a personal level can do more for the cause of Christ than giving thousands of dollars to the church or a charity. Christians usually take the easy way out and surround themselves with warm happy fake joy while the world dies.

Most of the songs on this one are pretty straight forward. "Props" may be an exception to that. A very odd little cool song! __________________ I'm talkin' bout the Vinyl , the Holy Vinyl. 12-13-2004 15:56 dennis Ubique Epoque Registration Date: 09-19-2002 Posts: 13,303 Location: In not-quite earth, in not-quite heaven. It seems to be iAlarma! was were DA really become DA, the record they found there voice. Sure they were close with "I love you #19" but it seems like with iAlarma! Terry found DA's purpose. Before that they seemed to be trying to convert the heathen. With iAlarma! the focus is on the heathen church! __________________ I'm talkin' bout the Vinyl , the Holy Vinyl. 12-13-2004 18:15 Coffee Addict Luteous Llama Registration Date: 07-21-2003 Posts: 316 I agree __________________ Donnie Darko 12-13-2004 18:23 dennis Ubique Epoque Registration Date: 09-19-2002 Posts: 13,303 Location: In not-quite earth, in not-quite heaven. __________________ I'm talkin' bout the Vinyl , the Holy Vinyl. 12-13-2004 18:33 Eis Official Impasto Registration Date: 03-18-2002 Posts: 3,470 Location: One too many mornings and a thousand miles behind... Thread Starter uggghh        quote: Originally posted by dorfsmith Sugar cane in cellophane is playing at the radio station This line always makes me think of K-Love As to the Church....yeah, things are pretty screwed up, especially in America. However, it is this community which is so messed up which is becoming more and more important to me all the time. I've come to believe deeply that the Church is where every Christian belongs (not the building- the body). Its screwy that one part of the body always seems to be hurting another part, but it is still essential for each member to be in the body. Unfortunately, and I know many people here have been in circumstances far worse than I've actually encountered, the Church is way to worldly to take care of its own, let alone shine its light in the darkness. ¡Alarma! I pray everyone here will be able to find a local church in which to break the bread and drink the wine (or grape juice, as it may be). 12-13-2004 22:33 dorfsmith Grand Encephalon Registration Date: 03-24-2002 Posts: 28,142 Location: Everybody needs a persicom __________________ http://www.google.com 12-13-2004 22:54 dorfsmith Grand Encephalon Registration Date: 03-24-2002 Posts: 28,142 Location: Everybody needs a persicom Big Time / Big Deal from the album "¡Alarma!"
