Closer to the Sun - Inception

So its been a week, and things are in a holding pattern with the band because crucial members of the team are neck deep in exams. As a result its been hard to move forward at the moment. Add to this we are recruiting new musicians, as our keyboardist will be leaving us soon.

So walking home from work a lyric started banging in my head.

That which brings me closer to you

Brings us closer to God

Now, normally I'm not a fan of being blatant with lyrics, and although I believe in God I've all but sworn off using the word because of the misconceptions it causes. Those of certain religious traditions immediately associate the word with their definition of God, while many of my closest atheist friends are turned off by the word altogether. My own belief is that we often talk about the same concept and then fight over the word we use, so I've been kicking around other words for the lyric - the all, the universe, the force...

For now I've settled on the sun and the One for the rhyme scheme it creates, so here's mark two for the chorus.

What brings me closer to you
Brings me closer to the sun
What brings us closer to each other
Brings us closer to everyone
And closer to the One

I played around with chord progressions and actually recorded something, but I'm going to sleep on it for a night and see how things look in the morning.
