"Standing on Higher Ground"

Backdated, archival post

---&---

Like the crosses inscribed in the guitar part in "Too Late," I'd thought I'd found an-other hidden religious element in "Standing on Higher Ground."  I'd thought that the synth bass part was just three notes (three is an important number in Christianity), but then I learned that part and discovered that it's more than three notes.  So while I was wrong, I still learned part of "Standing on Higher Ground."

However, when I tried recording a version, it ended up sounding terrible.  I couldn't match the tone of the synth, plus I had to play it manually instead of programming it (I have yet to learn how to program things), so the tempo varied a bit.

So I know that synth bass part, the two four-note phrases, and the chords, but until I become more experienced with synthesizers, I won't have a recording to prove it.
