Composed for the Release of the Third Book of the Bible – The Fall Before the Flood
“Golden Flame Gospel” was written as a call to rise—out of floodwater, out of shadow, out of silence.
I composed it for the release of Book III: The Fall Before the Flood in the Living Bible series, and it carries the weight of that arc—when the world was still reeling from the first fracture, but the sound of return was already forming.
Musically, it rides a Delta blues structure in A minor with spiritual overtones layered on a gospel frame. The intro’s built on a walkdown slide guitar in D, paired with a harmonized Hammond B3 undercurrent. I kept the vocal raw—no polish, no synth mask—just my real-time voice, broken open by spirit.
I brought in my daughter, Solene Rain, for the second half of the track. Her voice came through clear, luminous, like light refracted through water. She picked up the line and ran with it like she was born for this—which she was.
The lyrics follow the story arc of fallen beings remembering the sound of God’s voice and answering it—not with shame, but with gospel fire. This isn’t church the way the world knows it. This is Eden singing its way back.
Golden Flame Gospel is the sound of divine bloodlines standing up. A message across generations. A song for the bridge.

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
