Put together with the help of some very special friends. We do Contemporary Christian songs in a variety of genres.
Not so much a band, more like some guy behind the scenes - hence the name SGIW, which stands for Some Guy In Wisconsin...or something like that.

One word: Zeitgeist.
Lyrics
"Spirit of the Age" Red states, blue states, TV anchors can't wait To bare the hearts on their sleeves Their weapons of mass distraction tell me The things I'm supposed to believe And if this ain't the eve of destruction Surely it's at least the late afternoon So we stray like sheep, half-lost in sleep While the piper plays a twisted tune Presidential capers were in all the papers And a movie star was caught in a lie Major league players issue disclaimers And integrity's been kissed goodbye In this age of contrived reality I'd try to blush but I've forgotten how And when a local preacher made the tabloid feature I didn't even raise a brow CHORUS The spirit of the age is singing the siren song Abandoning the truth, begging me to come along All the dancing lights on glass, all the words on every page Unveil the mystic whispers of the spirit of the age Well I sit in bed and I scratch my head As I listen to the radio news Somebody went crazy and somebody's hurting And somebody was bound to lose And I wonder where that line was crossed Where it's OK to be so out of control Did we lose our bearings, or just stop caring That it's taken such a heavy toll? Repeat CHORUS © 2004 Steve Christy
