lyrics
I live out of sight
In every location
Outside of time
Ahead of creation
I bring death and horror
I am hope and joy
I know every secret
I am Driver
Call me Driver
In alluvial forests
I slash and I burn
In rampaging waters
I roil and I churn
I killed everybody
In every war
For anything you can think of
I am Driver
Call me Driver

Lyrics and music by Ron Rutherford
Great Prog album with so much detail. Superb musicianship and very well constructed. Ben obviously loves what he does and so do I.
VERY enjoyable journey. Robert Wallace
Billed as the masters of symphonic prog this album is an interesting of styles and influences. Folky in parts, rocky in others.
Vocals are good and male for a change. Both lyrics and music are involving and all in all this album is a good listen.
I will be looking at The Gift's other offerings. Russell Whyman
Came to this band very late and I must confess only because they were playing various dates with one of my firm favs Kaprekar’s Constant so I thought I’d better take a listen to what they had on offer...and well I now have all three albums and a huge convert...so much so that the neighbours will get to know them too over the next few weeks...if you ever get a chance to watch them live...you are in for a big treat...they command the stage and the audience as their own...
