meaning and 'Arise My Soul' has real rhythmn."

This is a fairy tale come true, an adventure spanning many decades, a journey of personal struggle, pain, heartache, persistence and success.
Arise My Soul
The sounds of absolute silence often brought me to tears, the mere thought that I was doing absolutely nothing, the realisation that in truth nothing actually needed to be done, the recognition that the world was continuing to function perfectly well without my sixty to eighty hour week behind the desk, the acceptance of temporary defeat, the emerging dream, the clarity of purpose, the fight for survival.
When my business collapsed, so did my finances and my marriage.
For the first time in my life I found myself without a job, a business, a partner, a bank or a line of credit.
Angry creditors were queuing up for their share of the remaining spoils, credit card companies and banks were calling me every day, customers were emailing, phoning and taking legal action, personal bankruptcy looked imminent and ominous.
The beautiful and totally secluded farm house had become a sanctuary during this time of pressure and process, the tall hedges providing a much needed break from the winds from the mountains and the world of commerce.
My decision to spend my time on the farm totally without electronic noise was beginning to unfold the world at my feet and provide clarity to my emerging thoughts.
Light My Fire
Light My Fire highlights the physical double mindedness felt by many men as they strive to stay true to their conscious and spiritual convictions, whilst feeling driven by their passion and desire.
We live in a world of fast food, fast cars, fast money, fast communications and fast relationships.
Having demonstrated my limited ability to secure a long term partnership, I was determined not to let my physical drive overwhelm my spiritual, emotional and mental standards.
There is real pain and discipline in keeping one's distance from someone that you are genuinely attracted to, yet it is fundamental to building trust, respect and long term love.
This song poured out of my heart onto paper very quickly and actually surprised me a little when I first played it.
