Art rock and folk singer songwriter Tim Gallant.
I'm primarily a songwriter - I've written roughly one thousand songs since about age 12. I listed myself as folk, but in truth I do a broad variety of stuff - quasi-prog, folk, rock, and too-difficult to classify. My major project I'm currently working on is called Metanarrative, and incorporates folk, quasi-classical, semi-Gregorian, art rock and more. The important thing to me is not genre, but beauty. Good melody, pleasing vocals (often with lush harmonies), musical balance. And thoughtful, artful lyrics.

Story behind the song
I think the concept is reasonably self-evident. On the one hand, it's about the arrogance of modern folk who think of the ancients as uneducated and stupid, and on the other, about the reality of Jesus' resurrection.
Lyrics
early in the mornin' they come into the garden nothin but some women who don't expect the livin' don't call me gullible it don't take no science to see dead men don't rise dead men don't rise you say you're sensible with wisdom of your century I know what I've seen with my eyes dead men don't rise dead men don't rise I've stood at the gravesides of beloved faces I know well what death is I don't expect them livin and I stood on the hillside a few short days ago if anyone has looked into death's eyes brother, I should know and dead men don't rise so don't call me gullible it don't take no science to see dead men don't rise dead men don't rise you say you're sensible with wisdom of your century I know what I've seen with my eyes dead men don't rise dead men don't rise early in the mornin' Mary comes into the garden and what does she see with her eyes ah, but dead men don't rise ah, but dead men don't rise don't call me gullible it don't take no science to see dead men don't rise dead men don't rise you say you're sensible with wisdom of your century I know what I've seen with my eyes: Christ is alive I know what I've seen with my eyes Christ is alive
