    Lyrics
    Standing on the edge of forever
    At the start of whatever
    Shouting love at the world
    Back then we were like cavemen
    But we map the moon and the stars
    Then we forgave them
    We will meet you where the lights are
    The defendants of the faith we are
    When the thunder turns around they’ll run so hard we’ll tear the ground away
    You know no one dies
    In these love drowned eyes
    Through our love drowned eyes
    We’ll watch you sleep tonight
    Although no one understood
    We were holding back the flood
    Learning how to dance the rain
    We were holding back the flood
    They said we’d never dance again
    Bleeding, but none of us leaving
    Watch your mouth son
    Or you’ll find yourself floating home
    Here we come now on a dark star
    Seeing demons, not what we are
    Tiny minds and eager hands will try to strike but now will end today
    There’s progress now
    Where there once was none
    Where there once was none
    Then everything came along
    Although no one understood
    We were holding back the flood
    Learning how to dance the rain
    There was more of them than us
    Now they’ll never dance again
    Although no one understood
    There was more of them than us
    Learning how to dance the rain
    We were holding back the flood
    They said we’d never dance again
    We will meet you where the lights are
    The defendants of the faith we are
    When the thunder turns around they’ll run so hard we’ll tear the ground away
    Although no one understood
    There was more of them than us
    Learning how to dance the rain
    (Learning how to dance the rain)
    There was more of them than us
    Now they’ll never dance again
    Now we’ll never dance again

      God bless you, Kimberly. If you have listened to and loved this song, He has already done so in fact!
      Music can be inspired and can inspire.
      Of course it is just the beginning, just part of, the adventure, but it offers a 21st-century-type opening of the gate to all the transcending wonder, the immeasurable kindness and mercy, at least by a crack.
      I am Born Again in Jesus through the Holy Spirit, and now I see a bit more of that great big picture.
      Most songs cannot do this (some are downright evil), but some can and do.
      A wonderful thing to explore as one turns to God.
      It is actually in the lyrics here, whether Take That fully realise it or not!
      Several of their songs actually achieve the effect ("Shine", "Greatest Day", maybe even "Love Love" from the X-Men film), so they were particularly blessed.
      Most bands only have once chance at the eternal (as with "Ordinary World" by Duran Duran).
      You see experiences with the Holy Spirit can be a bit "unusual", but it is never TOO weird or far out (you see the titles of these immortal songs are NOT too enigmatic at all - Robbie Williams's "Angels" being another case in point). You could say the same about Viva La Vida from Coldplay, or "the Walk of Life" from Dire Straits, or "The Way it is" from Bruce Hornsby, and so on.

    This song means a lot to me. I belong to a small rowing club, we just row because we love to do it, not for anything else. One day we had a big competition against a really big club. They were laughing at us, being rude and calling us names. They were obviously better than we were, yet we did our best during the competition. They were fast at the beginning but we became faster and faster, I wasn't thinking something else than "faster, you can go even faster!". And eventually, we actually won the rowing contest. The other club was so quiet afterwards, but to us it was the best feeling in the world.

      @@sidpheasant7585 Indeed, Sid. I remember we met on the Interstellar main theme music video. The Holy Spirit does indeed have new ways of speaking truth to his children, both lost and saved, through the power of music. Music can transform the mind; it can cause a variety of emotions in the human body, whether adrenaline, calmness or the feeling of hope, as a few examples. I`m a DJ, amongst other things, and you would be surprised by the number of people who have been healed from depression, suicide and tons of internal scars that are usually the biggest ones facing our current generation. Ranging from fathers, young teenagers, and members of the LGBTQ community amongst many other communities by simply playing music. Before starting this ministry, God gave me a dream and prophetic revelation that I would become a DJ and that the Holy Spirit would use a new, end-time method to attract and save many souls that are in darkness. I saw myself carrying a massive clot of salt with both my hands in a VERY, VERY dark house with no light, and no central heating system... however, the salt on my hands was full of LIGHT. Through that light, I managed to walk throughout the house and grab many men, women and children sitting on the floors in different rooms. When I woke up, God said read Matthew 5:13... that said: "You are the SALT of the earth!" From that revelation, I realised that I would literally be the salt of his presence within dark places as a DJ. Fast forward one year, and I have literally done this, and beyond through the power of music; I play exclusively secular songs but joyful ones, that manage to attract a large audience. Souls have been saved, marriages have been healed, and the lives of many have been saved. These individuals would approach me and befriend me through my music. Gradually we built a relationship, and many have seen something different in me. I am in the world, I play their songs, but I am kind-hearted, sober and full of salt from God! I never told them I was a Christian. My actions speak louder than any songs I play. AMEN! God bless you, Sid; I know we will one day meet in heaven, and I will greet you and utter the same words that St. paul said: "I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith. Now there is in store for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will award to me on that day-and not only to me, but also to all who have longed for his appearing - 2 Timothy 4:7-8. 🕊🕊🕊

      @@Gioachino_Orsini So very, very good to hear from you Thiago! Several things fit in here (always the case with the beloved Spirit, which is part of His way of letting us see). I started my version of the same kind of mission on 28-2-21. It was after I had received a scary health diagnosis, and (REALLY) felt the intolerable burden of sin, and begged Father, Son & Holy Spirit for cleansing (not healing, though I got that too). IT HAPPENED. The process was incredible, very tangible, wonderful, impossible under conventional science yet making complete sense, and having its structure and process. After that I began to write to people in the context of very special music that I could see the Spirit in. Of course classical at times, but pop too! And I could see that people's reactions posted on CZcams entailed words like "sad-happy" and "nostalgia". I do overtly try to tell them what they experience, and occasionally they even object to my doing that, some reply or like, but mostly there is silence. But just the other day I used a computer never used by me and could see that Google had a playlist that my efforts had somehow shaped! YOURS TOO I guess! I wondered from the outset if the fact that the Holy Spirit had reached me meant the End Times (of course in the context of drastic world events that put good v evil in a clear way - in 2022 Putin's madly evil war juxtaposed with Her Late Majesty's funeral in which music again shaped so many people's reactions). There is a whole story of wonder about Her Majesty, tea with Paddington, da da DA, da da DA on the teacups and then Queen's "We Will Rock You" (NOT actually on "my" list, but about Putin - they heard "Buddy", which actually sounds like "Putin" a bit, the way it is read in Russian). Viva La Vida is on my list, ALSO about Putin (we can see that name from Coldplay begsn with the Kahlo painting, and she had various connections with Russia). We are the missionaries in a foreign field, and one of the tasks for us from Jesus is to pray for Putin's lost soul and hardened heart. Coldplay also had a mishear - it should have been "Roman Calvary, choirs are singing". NOBODY gets that "Roman Cavalry"! Just 2-3 wks ago I realised Keane's "Sonewhere only we know" is - whether they get it or not - about Jesus, who wants to reach us before the end, going to a quiet place... Forget the silly video which tries to take the edge off the song with a sprites=aliens message also of significance! My latest ear worm was a remartkable thing as for years I thought Katrina & the Waves won Eurovision with "Walking on Sunshine" (a good one for you, along with "Holiday Road" from L. Buckingham - the Road to the Holy Day (his video actually IS a sign), and Greatest Day, which is NOT about marriage, but the Last Judgment, as the inspired lyrics show with Crystal clarity). Take That (a reference to hitting back at evil), also had "Shine"). Anyway Katrina won with "Love Shine a Light", which I heard for the first time just a few weeks back, anazingly. That is you too, but the origin of that song is with The Samaritans founded by Rev. Chad Varah to stop young people's suicides! The pandemic version sung by all the Euroivision contestants in lockdown in 2020 (except the Belgian - what does that say?) - is Exquisite. You must know it!? (czcams.com/video/R_xmJcg1iBU/video.html) Anyway it IS what we are doing. Could write tons more but must go to work! God continue with you this day, fellow Disciple!

      ​@@sidpheasant7585 It is equally very good to hear from you, Sid! It is always a pleasure to speak to a fellow brother in Christ. Especially like-minded individuals on the same journey and walk of faith. Interestingly, we have similar ministries despite not knowing each other's backgrounds! It is most definitely confirmation from God. I was raised in London, UK, so Take That was a significant part of my childhood upbringing amongst other bands, such as Westlife, The Wanted etc. It is interesting how your former illness propelled you to engage in your new ministry by speaking the word of God to others on CZcams. From my experience Sid, and after reflecting on the stories of both the major and minor prophets of the bible, they all have one thing in common - suffering, some more than others, others less. It is as if our suffering, trials and tears form a crucial part of the development of a Christian man or woman.
      Despite all the humiliation Gideon faced for being the lowest of his brothers and the poorest within his community, God still chose him to be a leader against 100,000 + Midianites. Gideon managed to "hold back the flood" by only having 300 men, 300 trumpets and 300 torches under God's powers. In total, he defeated 135,000 Midianites. He initially gathered 32,000 Israelites. However, God shortened that number to only 300, symbolising the trinity of God, the Father, Son and Holy Spirit. "Although nobody understood" God's motives, although "there was more (Midianites) of them than us (Israelites)", Gideon still took that assignment and managed to win a war against the enemies of Israel, the Midianites. Overall, our pain and suffering are critical development for the man or woman of God. Through these trials and circumstances, we develop a "testimony" to illuminate the faith of others. Therefore, we should pray for the hearts of hardened men like Putin. If God managed to soften the heart of a pharaoh in Ancient Egypt to liberate his people, the Israelites, then what can prevent him from doing the same to the current president of Russia, Putin. However, this is the key here, Sid, the process or the "method" God chooses to soften Putin's heart, that is, if he sees fit, can be through "plagues, trials and burdens" just like the 10 plagues of Egypt. Only after the 10th plague, when all the youngest children died, was when the Pharaoh had a softened heart after losing his beloved son.
      I have heard of all the songs you mentioned, all amazing and unique in their own way. Music has much more power than we think. In Ancient Israel, there was a specific priesthood called the Levites. These were men whose primary duties and obligations were to worship God publicly. In rabbinical tradition, when Levites sang, it was a form of "preaching or sermon" that was always performed before anything happened in the temple. In a sense, we are Levites. We are the continuation of that ministry, of that priesthood, by spreading the good news of God through songs that have a deeper meaning given to us by the holy spirit. As a Dj, it is common for audience members to ask for requests. Sometimes, one would say, "Give me a song about friendship, love, joy, or happiness", as a few examples. Before gathering any playlist, I always pray: "Lord, please give me the right songs for this night; give me songs to bring Joy to others, for this is something missing in our society, the gift of joy." We must never underestimate the importance of joy; in fact, it is a KEY component to the Christian man or woman of God - Galatians 5:22-23 says the following about this: "But the fruit of the spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. Against such things, there is no law."
      Regarding songs I play on request, it highly depends on the person, age and demography. Usually, people in their 30s - early 2000s, 90s, 80s, era above. The younger the individual, usually songs that are more recent although you sometimes find an "old soul" in their teens. I will provide some examples I have played in the past for different people, as shown below via these links:

      @sidpheasant7585 Před 2 lety

      I long believed that was a major and basic language mistake (as I was convinced it should be "There were more of them" - it seems obvious), but I have faith in Gary, Robbie and co. to convey the loving message that God wants them to convey in their songs, so I think somehow it has to be OK. It IS possible to say "there was more of them in this music than of us", for example - suggesting a greater influence or contribution. In general, these lyrics are complex - and I am not quite sure even "Take That" fully understand them. Even the title is open to obvious religious interpretations. Thousands of years ago, this is how the beloved Holy Spirit operates, as when he allowed the Disciples to speak fluently in languages they did not even know... What matters most is the effect - which in the case of this song is hugely positive in a 21st-century way. And that is what it is all about, obviously!

    "The Flood"
    Standing on the edge of forever,
    At the start of whatever,
    Shouting love at the world.
    Back then we were like cavemen,
    But we map the moon and the stars,
    Then we forgave them.
    We will meet you where the lights are,
    The defenders, of the faith we are.
    Where the thunder turns around they’ll run so hard we’ll tear the ground away.
    You know no one dies, in these love drowned eyes,
    Through our love drowned eyes, we’ll watch you sleep tonight.
    Although no one understood we were holding back the flood,
    Learning how to dance the rain.
    We were holding back the flood they said we’d never dance again.
    Bleeding, but none of us leaving,
    Watch your mouth son or you’ll find yourself floating home.
    Here we come now on a dark star, seeing demons, not what we are.
    Tiny minds and eager hands will try to strike but now will end today.
    There’s progress now where there once was none, where there once was none, then everything came along
    Although no one understood, we were holding back the flood learning how to dance the rain.
    There was more of them than us now they’ll never dance again.
    Although no one understood there was more of them than us learning how to dance the rain,
    We were holding back the flood they said we’d never dance again.
    We will meet you where the lights are,

    Where the thunder turns around they’ll run so hard we’ll tear the ground away.
    Although no one understood, there was more of them than us learning how to dance the rain.
    (learning how to dance the rain)

    This is how pop music should be 👍. Catchy, yet sophisticated. It was the perfect bridge from the post-comeback stuff to the new stuff, and with Robbie and Gary singing lead, both identities came together. What I like about the "Progress" album is that they experimented more than ever because they knew they couldn't go wrong with Robbie's return anyway. The reunion was something everyone wanted to see. It would have been silly to repeat those "moon june spoon"-type boy band songs from the 90s, and obviously with millions of records sold and 20 years in the business at that point, you should be allowed to take risks and do something different. No wonder it received critical acclaim.

    There isn't a more "British" song than this one in my opinion And I f*** loving it because I literally love U. K. Greetings from Madrid.

      Don't like your second word, but love your first one, george. This music has its divine inspiration and its spiritual significance. It carries the love and healing of God conveyed by the Holy Spirit - your search for the music was part of your search for this kind of enlightenment.

    I can't listen to this song without thinking of The Flood in Halo. "We were holding back the flood", "There was more of them than us".
    It fits perfectly.

    I've never heard this song or the group. Shame I live on the other side of the pond. Totally awesome talent shown. I didn't quite get the lyrics the first few times. Did some searching on them. They make sense if you think about the group's history and their comeback. Just amazing stuff these guys have.

      @@richl6966 Not a fan (of RW) but he does have the biggest music event in British history to his name after his 2003 Knebworth concerts. Also at the beginning of the millennium he was an awful lot larger draw, btw I am in no way downplaying GB at all as he is a master tunesmith.
