Higher Than Pope

Guitars and Rock: frequently the rhythm is paramount. A splendid time is guaranteed for all. ...more guitar!

, is classical music, Higher Than Pope are a guitar band. They have been vaguely styled in overheard conversations as Beatles meets Neil Young meets The Doors, however that seems misplaced to my thinking. They seem more a mix of rhythmic and often syncopated pop guitar alternative. are more prone to commiting the usual heinous pop/rock sorts of guitar mischief. However. this go round HTP appear to be paying homage to both Guitars and Gustav Mahler. If you have ever wondered how some of your favorite classical music would sound if you changed some of the instruments in the orchestra out as guitar, bass and drums, then this is the album for you. is definitely more Mahler than Emerson, Lake and Palmer. They did not abandon the strings. They did add some amp. They also added some very delicious sounding acoustic guitars--massively moving electric guitar and some of the bass passages are truly tremendous. album at CD store near you. : Gustav's Guitars

Lyrics

Basically

Basically our hearts are very pure
and then someone comes and knocks us on the floor
and we say "God, why did you do this thing to me?
You know that I'm not able to see your scheme
even in my dreams." Uh-huh.

Meanwhile back our hearts they shall endure
even if we've been knocked down on the floor
and we'll think that we've been alone too long.
We say, "help us so we can sing along--as one.
It surely can be done." Uh-huh.

Basic man has some promising desires.
He has the quality to build out of fire.
Anything we've got now that we didn't have before
helps us to climb back up off the floor again,
never remembering when. Uh-huh.

Pretty soon our work will all be done
then we'll have a little more time for fun
and the wars will all cease to persist
and we'll be able to peacefully exist--in love
like in heaven above. Uh-huh.
