What an awesome experience! these guys are so creative....not to mention energetic! They completely throw themselves into the music...in fact they seem to BECOME the music. it is a full body experience with amazing vibes you can feel on every level of your being.
One of the songs, Sleepless, was largely inspired by Maris:
We know it was the worst, but it feels like the first time that we had to say goodbye
Now I'm sleepless again, tossing turning in my bed
Wondering, "why did you go?"
I hold on to my covers, never let them go
The nightmares closing in
The pictures still remind me, of where we've gone and been
Waking me each night
And we knew it was the worst cause it feels like the first time that we had to say goodbye
Now I"m sleepless again, tossing turning in my bed
Wondering, "why did you go?"
Please don't ever think your time was wasted trying to change our lives
Now it's been said, and a memory has been left in my head wondering, "where did you, where did you go?"
The mystery is all but solved now, guesses have been made. We're all left here standing.
Hoping you'll return, come back to me, come back to us
And we knew it was the worst, but it feels like the first time that we, we could feel at ease
Now I"m sleepless again, tossing turning in my bed
Wondering, "why did you go?"
Please don't ever think your time was wasted trying to change our lives
Now it's been said, and a memory has been left in my head wondering, "where did you, where did you go?"
(repeat)
Where did you go?
Now I'm sleepless again, tossing turning in my bed
Wondering, "why did you go?"
I hold on to my covers, never let them go
The nightmares closing in
The pictures still remind me, of where we've gone and been
Waking me each night
And we knew it was the worst cause it feels like the first time that we had to say goodbye
Now I"m sleepless again, tossing turning in my bed
Wondering, "why did you go?"
Please don't ever think your time was wasted trying to change our lives
Now it's been said, and a memory has been left in my head wondering, "where did you, where did you go?"
The mystery is all but solved now, guesses have been made. We're all left here standing.
Hoping you'll return, come back to me, come back to us
And we knew it was the worst, but it feels like the first time that we, we could feel at ease
Now I"m sleepless again, tossing turning in my bed
Wondering, "why did you go?"
Please don't ever think your time was wasted trying to change our lives
Now it's been said, and a memory has been left in my head wondering, "where did you, where did you go?"
(repeat)
Where did you go?

This was a great experience for us on a rainy November Saturday. Peter and his group are so uplifting and energized. We were happy to be there and feel so good that they dedicated the second track of their CD to Maris. Raymond
