ABOUT THE ARTWORK
TRIVIA
I had been reading a really inspirational book called 'Streams in the Desert' by L.B. Cowman and was arrested by the question of where it is we see our life moving to… how that affects the way we live, how we feel, what we do, what we aim for and all that… I was really moved by the sense of ultimate purpose that living an 'ever upward' life brings and wanted to write about it. During one of our Tuesday night sessions early on, Dan started up a simple guitar refrain over a sampled loop. This slightly dark world music vibe triggered the melody and lyrics from me fairly much instantaneously; Peter Gabriel would describe it 'like catching an apple just as it falls off the tree.' We both feel that the movement in the song and the statement of intent in the lyrics kind of echo the final chapter of C.S. Lewis The Last Battle 'Higher up and further in.' S.
3. EVER UPWARD by SUSIE BEATTIE and DANIEL GOODMAN
Ever up would I lift my gaze, ever upward into your face
Ever upward I'm turning still to seek your way
Ever upward I'll fix my eyes, ever upward to Paradise
Ever upward I will decide in you I'll abide
Running after you, seeking for your face
Longing for your love, seeking for your holy face
Running after you, seeking for your face
Running after you, searching for that place
Running after you, searching for that place of peace
That comforts me
Never backward I'm moving on, ever upward I'll seek my home
Heavenward is the place I aim, never to weep tears again
Ever upward I'm climbing still, ever up if I can I will
Never losing you from sight, my holy Prize
