	Story Behind the Song This is one of the first songs written by the original line up of UTM. Unearthed in the back room of Scott Bells'house -Scott was our original bass player and is the bassist on this recording- it started with a Djembe and guitar riff... Jeff was sort of into this Native American thing at the time and was singing this chant which became the verse melody. We finished the primary arrangement that night as well as some of the lyrical adaptation from Malachi. The words are pretty much verbatim... check it out (Malichi 3:2-3, 4:2). After we had been playing it for about 6 months, our producer, Scott Osborne came in and suggested we make a change to the end section which was originally a heavy rock riff with a wailing falsetto vocal ala Bono (U2). We ended up with the guitar solo over a vamp of the chorus progression. This elevated and sustained the song to a level it was really wanting to reach. Since this (MP3)is a demo with a scratch vocal and essentially incomplete, know that we intend to have a large vocal part that repeats the line "He comes like fire, like fire..." to a fade out. It's one of our favorites... Lyrics Make Us Gold Malachi 3: 2-3, 4: 2 Who can endure In the day Of His coming? Who can bring An offering Of righteousness? Righteousness... If we fall... Fall down on our knees and pray He'll make us gold But for you You who revere His name - oh His holy name Then the son Of righteousness Will rise With healing in his wings And He comes Like fire, like fire He comes To make us gold Lyrical inspiration given to Jeff Macaré 10.11.97
