THE AL LOVE EXPERIENCE w/ special guest, Garage Garbage The Al Love Experience and Garage Garbage have recently teamed up to provide you the latest and the greatest in schizophrenic sonic experience. The "Love Experience" is all about offering profound inquiries into the nature of sound, tossed with a healing doses of deep meaningful lyrical sentiments. Their music is excellent for quiet, meditative listening, with or w/out headphones. "Garbage," on the other hand, likes to just lay some shit down and serve it up to you fresh, and it don't matter whether it's in good or bad taste (their motto is, "de gustibus non disputatam est"). Their music is great with a Scoobie doobie, and that's about it really. Interested in the "Experience"? Listen to "Heart Blossom," "Inner Sunshine Raga," and "Heart Sunrise Meditation." For more of a rock/pop sound: Listen to "SunSmile," "Always," and "When the Spirit is Gone," if nothing else. Interested in "Garbage"?

Story behind the song
This is actually a portion of another song that I would like to complete.
Lyrics
[Here is the letter -- the song excerpts it] Letter Written by Fra Giovanni Fra Giovanni, 1513 I am your friend and my love for you goes deep. There is nothing I can give you which you have not got, but there is much, very much, that, while I cannot give it, you can take. No heaven can come to us unless our hearts find rest in today. Take heaven! No peace lies in the future which is not hidden in this present little instant. Take peace! The gloom of the world is but a shadow. Behind it, yet within our reach is joy. There is radiance and glory in the darkness could we but see - and to see we have only to look. I beseech you to look! Life is so generous a giver, but we, judging its gifts by the covering, cast them away as ugly, or heavy or hard. Remove the covering and you will find beneath it a living splendor, woven of love, by wisdom, with power. Welcome it, grasp it, touch the angel's hand that brings it to you. Everything we call a trial, a sorrow, or a duty, believe me, that angel's hand is there, the gift is there, and the wonder of an overshadowing presence. Our joys, too, be not content with them as joys. They, too, conceal diviner gifts. Life is so full of meaning and purpose, so full of beauty - beneath its covering - that you will find earth but cloaks your heaven. Courage, then, to claim it, that is all. But courage you have, and the knowledge that we are all pilgrims together, wending through unknown country, home. And so, at this time, I greet you. Not quite as the world sends greetings, but with profound esteem and with the prayer that for you now and forever, the day breaks, and the shadows flee away.
