Story Behind The Song
In this song, Von Cello has created a sound that is pure authentic jam rock. You hardly notice that you are listening to a cello! In fact, you probably wouldn't even know it, if no one told you. Yet, once you realize it, you see that you are listening to something amazing. This is not a "hey look what I can do on the cello" song. This is a great jam rock sound, that just happens to be led by a cello. With only cello, bass and drums, the sound is completely full and rocking!
The words are about keeping an open mind in the face of world dominating religions...including atheism!

A grooving song about open--mindedness, with an amazing jam at the end on celtar (cello played like a guitar). Another highlight is the druming during the breaks.

Lyrics
You tell me someone sat under a tree,
and saw all you can see.
You say he meditated day and night,
and left a path for me.
(Chorus)
You tell me your truth but I don't know.
Should I buy it just 'cause you say so?
You sound positive but I don't know.
I'm the type who likes to take it slow.
You tell me someone suffered long ago,
and gave his life for me.
You say that if I just believe in him,
of sin I will be free.
(Chorus)
You tell me someone sang about a world,
no heaven and no hell.
You say belief's a relic of the past,
a useless magic spell.
(Chorus)
Take it slow. Take it slow.
Take it slow. Take it slow.
