	'By Design' is the second single from deepnine. A contemplative yet edgy lullaby with strong rythmic counterpoint. Hypnotic and powerful. The birth of 'new edge' music.

	Story Behind the Song The bulk of this piece was written after reading my first book on music theory and counterpoint many years ago. I have always loved the simplicity and beauty in it. It caught my attention again almost by accident in 2001 and the lyrics seemed to form suddenly and completely. I finished the final version you hear on this site in about three days. I hope you enjoy it. Brent Lyrics God is a mountain That I can never climb Rivers and forests Mystery by design Time is an ocean Vast and deep and wide Waves of tomorrow Crashing against tonight Hope is a needle Threading through our lives Her love, dreams and laughter Keep this world alive God is a mountain That I can never climb Rivers and forests Mystery by design
