Big bold drums and a mix of light airy guitar and distortion chords... that's supported with ethereal keyboards and an angry at god voice.

"Bay area (San Jose) cerebral nightmares have spawned a square-peg quartet that defies music industry pigeon holes. In a pop market where genre specific fans clearly seek conformity, deviants like The Winter Chapter become the welcome oasis to pop-culture weary music enthusiasts. You are as likely to find Gothic bands opening for The Winter Chapter as you would Industrial bands. Beyond these evolving genres, The Winter Chapter continues to explore experimental electronic and darkwave styles and incorporates such creativity into recordings and live performances. Ranging from deep melancholic melodies to intense haunting tribal excursions into new electronic frontiers (Blinded) to meandering forays through gothic rock and darker wave roots of the 80s. Felix exhumes from hidden spiritual mysteries a strong and palatable voice of reasoning, masterfully harmonizing the talents of his fellow performers. Experimental vocals and digitized drum effects descend upon writhing audiences with cold, penetrating aural symmetry. Founder Steve Jennings works magic on a Fretless Bass, Stacy Latta & Jeff Croall contrast and harmonize on dancing keyboards and Felix fronts The Winter Chapter via potent and mature, haunting vocals. In anticipation of their upcoming Southern U.S. tour, four voices extend to you through static electrons the following words of invitation and intrigue." - Jett Black

Story behind the song
I struggled with a lack of faith. No belief in god, devils or spirits...what steps can you take to really find the answer to the afterlife...what steps besides death. So the song is first a confession of too long a life spent in introspection and then almost a condemnation of one's own fear of death...and condemnation of flirting with death but afraid to really see what's next. At one point, there is a challenge made to the supernatural world that if it will show itself...if it can prove itself, then it can have you...willingly. This is all about the frustation behind faith...if you have it...everything can make sense...if you don't have it...where do you find it. This was a final f*** you to the idea from those of us who will probably never believe in much beyond ourselve
Lyrics
Too much time spent Looking inside myself Too much time spent alone I haven't lost my faith I never had it And now I'm growing old When you go away To make your peace with the other side Too much time spent Looking inside myself Too much time spent alone Cries out to gods and devils Take your best shot at me But make your presence known When you go away To make your peace with the other side When you go away To make your peace with God Take me away I keep on walking to the edge But never seem to take the final step Can't seem to make a leap of faith With and empty soul When you go away To make your peace with the other side When you go away To make your peace with God Take me away
