Story Behind The Song
I had just been to a show that was high lighting alternative lifestyles and comprised of a variety of acts that all had the same theme of anti-establishment. I went back to my song writing with the idea of composing a song that encompassed the gathering of alternative spirits with an open mind.

Lyrics
I hope to climb,
The slippery slope that leads to your mind.
And lay you down on an evermore green,
Where all that you touch is never quite what it seems.
You can hear voices round, around the open fire.
They can mean anything, oh your heart desires.
Listen to the wind of the underworld,
Watch the gathering grow.
And when you're feeling blue,
They'll look around and come and gather you.
And feed you things, food for thought,
In the Company of rings, where ancient prophesies are taught.
You can hear voices round, around the open fire.
They can mean anything your heart desires.
Listen to the wind of the underworld,
Watch the gathering grow.
Oh listen, to the wind of the underworld, Watch the gathering,
To the wind of the underworld, Watch the gathering,
To the wind of the underworld, Watch the gathering grow.
Watch the gathering grow, the gathering grow.
