	Story Behind the Song This song, like so many of ours, is a metaphor. The visual image of light shining on a sphere, creating a gradual shading from light to dark at the horizon, seemed like a wonderful way to describe the differences bewteen differing philosophies. People are so different, but so very similar. The song itself was an excercise in precision. I had previously not recorded such long uninterupted takes of both guitar and bass. It was challenging, but also that much more rewarding. One of the main goals in The Mosaic Virus' songs is to tie together an idea with every aspect of a song; lyrics, melody, structure, etc. Everything Up & Down is definately in the top ten on the list for this 'song unity'. Possibly, only 'Signing the Scripture'(see our web page) has a more clear and unified song definition. I truely love this mood. Enjoy. - Jason Pristash Lyrics Well, since you've sought me Here is my argument Decked out like dissidents With nothing to fear The surface of a sphere does not appear Connected to the questions That have brought you here But please note with one side You cannot divide Even the great sun itself must realize You cannot point to the ending edge of light You cannot point to the start of the dark It's degrees of grey And nothing's quite so different That it's not one step away You see we're all the same shade Don't it seem so logical That not everything is reasonable Not everything is something understood If you could only take A vague approximating minute To search the surface of a world And know you're not quite in it You would begin to understand On the surface of a sphere Light falls around EVERYTHING UP & DOWN Don't you forget what you're walking on
