This is my first official full length LP.
Jerry was a young war poet. One cold, wet tiresome day, something happened... This is Jerryโ€™s story told through his eyes.

โ€œMy soul wandered aimlessly through the boundless darkness that encompassed me. Fear crept up on me like a predator stalking its pray, for time was not known here and the amount of time I have been here is a mystery to me. ย I had always wondered what happens to a person when they die, and what I see is not what I expected. I wondered if this was hell, maybe my attempts to be a kind person was in fact not good enough for heaven; I was surely not a mother Teresa or Baba Ram Dass. Yet I felt that I had a good enough heart to save my self from being damned to a burning prison of a life. All i could rely on was a pen and paper, and that was hard to find, especially in this wretched poison of a so called โ€œvictoryโ€ or โ€œspiritual cleansingโ€. No this was not hell, but the menacing darkness that engulfed me occasionally made me wonder, for I had no control of where I was going. As I continued to float through the nothingness I had become accustomed to, I noticed a glistening white light gradually approached me. When the light reached me, it caressed my soul with such gentleness. Calmness, Peace and Love shattered my fears, while my sudden exhaustion consumed me.
I awakened to a soft melodic murmur that was dancing through the tall and thick oak trees ahead of me. I rose from the moist, plush green grass I had been laying on and began to walk towards the murmuring. After walking for what felt like 5 minutes the murmuring became louder as I finally reached a clearing. There was a luminous blue lake surrounded by the same lovely grass I had been laying on and flowers of every kind and colour was rooted in the grass. I saw seven angels covered in frost as they sung and danced. Their wings were grand, and a beautiful white, with gold symbols imbedded onto them. They danced graciously in a circle as they smiled and sang. Finally they all stopped and set their eyes and me, while their loving expressions never wavered. The angel that stepped forward stood out the most to me. Love, joy and welcoming danced through his topaz colored eyes. His voice was like so clear to me as he said โ€œWelcome, for you shall know no pain, suffering or sorrow in this place. For this where you began and shall end. You are home child of God, and home you shall remain.โ€ ย The angels behind him began to sing again as he grabbed my hand. The angel made a quick movement in front of him over the lake, and then suddenly a golden gate appeared on top of it. He turned to me with the same loving expression โ€œAre you ready to see your heavenly father once again?โ€ I had been so overwhelmed with joy I had not realised the tears escaping my eyes like a freed bird. I looked up at the angel smiled and nodded his head, the gates opened and I entered. The angels inside were covered in frost too, they had huge ever-growing wings, they had eyes of diamonds. I thought to myself and said โ€œis this really it?โ€ the angels took me by my hand, and sat me down. They gave me wine and bread, informed me that this is the better world, another plane beyond our own material existence, and that i had done well in my previous time. โ€œUnfortunately it is now timeโ€ they said, heart racing and teeth grinding my mind was spinning with questions, what was going on? And then that was when, in New York, a couple of minutes later it seemed, a baby fell down from the sky, and past the burning apartment buildings 19 stories high. I fell down, nobody seemed to realise or see me even, but it seemed that when i opened up my eyes and looked around i was in a circus, and within a blink of an eye i was a young boy in spain playing pianos filled with flames on empty dreams stored deep inside, then i realised, that i had been reincarnated. โ€œSo this is how it feels to become something againโ€, i thought to myself. โ€œSo this is really it, my past life is nothing but a burning memoryโ€, i thought to myself with great disappointment for some reason, i couldnโ€™t remember, i couldnโ€™t recall back to my poet years, the poet years when i was lost inside, distraught, torn apart by the loud crashes, and distant cries echoing inside my ears, screams piercing my body. So this is finally it. This, is how it feels to be reborn. A decade later, i had everything perfect, iโ€™d married the love of my life, i had 2 wonderful children. However, one summers day, i was talking to an old fortune teller, she said i must go on a quest, โ€œa quest?โ€ i politely asked, โ€œyes a quest to regain your past self..โ€, so i then went away and searched and searched through documents and photographs, until there it was, i looked over and saw a man, his eyes were like a gateway to his broken, crest-fallen soul, all the memories flooded back to me, racing through my veins. It had all come back, all my trauma, all the memories of skipping on the beach, then being fed tragic lies and misfortune to me. I immediately fell to the ground, my mind was being invaded by all this wretched, wicked trauma.โ€

Now itโ€™s up to YOU to decide what happens to our character in the second half of the story, relax and let the music take over, let the music tell the story.
