Following Billy's note about the online music store (www.billyfranks.com), I will be posting his thoughts on each song in this section of the forum for follow up discussion:
Of Behind, Beneath, Beyond Billy said: 'I’m gonna kick off with Behind, Beneath, Beyond from my first solo album, Mass. All the songs on it were written during a period that I can only file under “spiritual investigations”. Just after the Faith Brothers split, I went on a determined search to find some satisfactory answers to what troubled both me and the world at large.
Most of these searches turned out to be either false starts or dead ends, but I certainly found out a great deal about myself on some of the longer journeys.
One of the great rewards of being a writer is that you can look back over your own life and your songs are like signposts mapping out the route that got you here. This song stands right at the start of my search for something deeper and is filled with a kind of soulful optimism.
Take a listen, (you can hear minute long samples before you commit to downloading), If nothing else, the gospel choir style chorus should lift the spirit a little.'
