[Part 1... 3/5] Next, I played the opening track of the album titled Heat Above, which refers to the Second Sun (a symbol of Bitcoin and the logos of GVF). This was the most viewed rock video of 2021. “Can you feel my love Rising with the heat above (Second Sun) Life's the story of Ascending to the stars as one We do not fight for war But to save the lives of those who do so” Beautiful. Then I played 'Light My Love,' which also refers to the Second Sun and poetically describes the time chain." “Can you light my love? Flames glow as bright as the sun Deeper than oceans you run Watch as our world has begun I have seen pictures of time (timechain) The frames still in motion I find A grand revolution outlined Hate bound by fear will unwind” After that, I turned up 'Caravel,' which was one of the ships used to discover the New World of the Americas... Hold on for dear life! “Crash against wave upon wave, whoa-oh (hodl) To strange horizons, ooh Heel to the mist and the wind, yeah-yeah You wake the movement, ooh Whoa, as you can tell This was the age of the caravel (Bitcoin) Whoa, as you can tell These are the times you'll remember well Sail to the end of the world, whoa-oh For death or glory, ooh Bow with your face to the sky, yeah-yeah We are a movement, ooh” A true HODL song! ...

[Part 1... 4/5] Next up, I played The Barbarians, which is directed at the God Machine protecting itself with young innocence. This track has one of many connections to Rage Against the Machine, which can be found on this album. Check out the lyrics to Renegades of Funk by RATM below for a greater context of this song and GVF's overall message. “Mothers of barbarians Were your young so spry when they left to die? We are Are we prisoners or renegades? Well, I've done my time Behold visions of burning skies Alas, Babylon” GVF indicates they are renegades. Here’s Renegades of Funk: “No matter how hard you try, you can't stop us now We are the force of another creation A new musical revelation And we're on this musical mission to help the others listen (GVF) And groove from land to land singin' electronic chants like Zulu nation Revelations Destroy our nations Destroy our nations Now renegades are the people with their own philosophies They change the course of history Everyday people like you and me” The album has numerous connections to Rage Against the Machine, particularly their album The Battle of Los Angeles. In summary, GVF conveys a similar message to RATM, but with a much different tone. I will dive into this further another time... Next, I played ‘Tears of Rain,’ a song that cries out for environmental change… “Drifting through the plains before us As it turns to dust before our eyes Pleading for a God to pour us (God Machine) Just a little bit of rain from an empty sky Who will bring the rain? Oh Who will bring the rain? Hey Who will bring the rain?” Then I played Broken Bells. Text does not do these lyrics justice. Our time is coming… “And I believe there comes a time When out of silence we will sing And even broken bells will ring Not all the answers are the same Yet we still play thе game” (Fiat) ...

[Part 1... 5/5] And finally, I arrived at the second-to-last song of the album, ‘Trip the Light Fantastic.’ It's a spiritual journey with Sanskrit mantras. “Rhythm of space (Tick, tock) Expansion of soul A force beyond control #Bitcoin Travelers in time searching for The unknown Ram, ram, ram, ram, ram, ram Ram, ram, ram, ram, ram, ram To comet across the blistering hue Beyond the spaces of false and true Away from a world we have riddled with scars To be wholly free and amongst the stars” Ram mantra is the royal road to attain spiritual perfection. It helps man overcome all fears and troubles in life. Ram mantra is a very big uniting factor. It leads to harmony and peace and promotes cooperation among family members, friends and the people in the society… Ram mantra also helps overcome debts and attain financial stability in the household… Ram, ram, ram, ram, ram, ram Ram, ram, ram, ram, ram, ram What I find fascinating about this album/band is that they seem to produce comparable spiritual effects to those of Bitcoin. Fans are reporting feelings of hope and personal transformations for the better. What's also interesting is that the band's fastest-growing fan demographic is, by far, young women (aged 16-25), who are presumably on the opposite end of the political spectrum from many Bitcoiners. I believe this demonstrates a few things. First, that the idea of Bitcoin is resonating with people who are generally opposed to it and have been slow to adopt. Second, it highlights the power of music and its ability to spread ideas to a diverse audience on a global scale. Lastly, GVF demonstrates music's potential to heal divides and unify around a common idea. “Feeling Oh God, the feeling We need some healing” That concludes the introduction to The Battle at Garden’s Gate. However, keep in mind that this is just scratching the surface of the album, and there are still two more to uncover. I highly recommend listening to the full album in order with the lyrics and forming your own interpretations. Join me down the deep and mind-opening rabbit hole that is Greta Van Fleet. "Deeper than oceans you run Watch as our world has begun" Follow for everything Greta Van Fleet related. New album, 'Starcatcher' drops, July 21.
