Overthereign (Remastered)
Opens with groovy, alien-inspired hip hop beats layered under koto, shamisen, and slide ukulele, swelling into psychedelic pop. Surfing genres, passages erupt in bagpipes, African gospel tritones, animal samples, didgeridoo, gang vocals, and chant—all atop syncopated fretless bass and inventive percussion. Verses blend fuzzy Pluto-rock, vocal laughter, and operatic stabs, peaking in German-Hindu choral mantras. A Greek waltz-driven solo teases with meows, drifting into a psychedelic “moo” break. The finale detonates with soaring strings, massive tembo drums, relentless synths, and global voices, capped by operatic grandeur and crystal-clear, commanding vocals across a vivid FX landscape.

Lyrics
Intro: bright jangly 12-string arpeggios, soft kick entering
Somewhere over the rainbow…
(over the rainbow… way up high…)
Rise into verse
Verse 1: palm-muted crunch, intimate groove
Somewhere over the rainbow
Way up high… (you’ve heard it all before)
There’s a dream that They TOLD you…
Framed in a lullaby…. (Oh my oh my… oh why?)
And the hopes that you’re holding…still
And even with your terrors in the night…
(No no no!)[drop]
Hey, he’s calling YOU homeward!
Into the light (HIS LIGHT)
drop
Verse 2: guitars open, bass walks brighter
Somewhere over the rainbow…(yeah)
Your Skies are blue (oh it’s Mr. blue Sky callin… y’all)[rise]
And the dreams that you dare to dream
Really can come true.. (under the rainbow)
When you follow the promise. (Over the rainbow)
drop
Painted so clear
His love is the rainbow
Drawing you near (right now, right here)
(Use me like a paintbrush … GOD?)
drop
Chorus: massive band lift, huge open strums, choir soaring in response
Someday I’ll wish upon a Star
And wake up where the clouds are far behind me….
Where trouble melts like chocolate drops
High above friendly candy shops!
That’s where you’ll find me…(yeah brother, yeah sister!….)
Oh, that’s where you’ll find him
(the Way… the Truth… the Life…)
That’s where you’ll find Emanuel. (GOD is with you)
drop
Verse 3: fuller drive, keys shimmer
Somewhere over the rainbow
Bluebirds fly… (angels too)
Grace flys over the rainbow….
Why then, oh why can’t you?
drop
AND the door’s standing open! (Twenty Four Seven!)
He’s calling your name
(He knows your name it’s just the way!)
One step in His mercy!
Really …You’ll never be the same (it’s a promise unbreakable)
interlude
Bridge: sudden drop to jangly guitar + soft keys + hushed vocal, then gentle build
If happy little bluebirds fly
Beyond the rainbow….
Why, oh why can’t I
His arms are open wide
(ooh…)
drop
Verse 4: warm rebuild, intimate
No trouble, it will stop some teardrops fallin
Held in the love that keeps on callin
That’s where He’ll keep you...(under his rainbow) (it’s the WAY!)
Forever He’ll keep me
(the Way… the Truth… the Life…)
That’s where He’ll keep me
amen
(Amen)
Oh, that’s where He’ll keep me
rise to bridge
bridge to outro
warm rebuild, intimate to hopeful
Why are there so many songs about rainbows
And what’s on the other side?
Rainbows are covenant, never illusions!
His word will never subside
The true side of the rainbow?
Is Jesus the Way
The Truth and the Life for every day
drop
Outro: jangly guitars ring out, choir sustains softly
Somewhere over the rainbow…
Way up high…
(way up high… the Way, the Truth, the Life…)
You don’t have to believe…. Sow the seeds…
NEVER LOOK BACK! Find your way, your truth , and shine your light….
Love (your life now, in THE FAMILY!)
WORSHIP!
It’s JESUS at the center…
the kingdom is here to see…
the love … and the seekers …. And me….
