Methodose - being the author of the Cold Play song Fix You

If you read the Bible backwards from where it maps out the code of a circle jerk it basically concludes that the Egyptian Sun God and our God is the same God.


My story of writing Fix You is Rachel Dorsett broke up with me and had a seizure. I asked my Dad to show me that part of the bible because I told him I wanted to read the whole thing and understand it. I read all day and at night I would talk to him about what I read and how I compared it to life. It gets to every illegal drug even MDMA and LSD being devised. Once I got through the whole thing I started asking why Rachel had a seizure, what was her debt? Also it's when I knew I was going to end up in the hospital so I put a note in her Parents mailbox about us doing Freedom Recovery together for closure for how much trouble we were causing.


That is what that song is about. I miced a room using Andy Skibs digital recorder. Charlie Pfister, Justin Cowell, Stewart Hetherington, Evan Chadwick set up in my upstairs, I was behind the vocal mic. They followed my notes and played it and I sung the lyrics I wrote. I used the network of Tool Army to give the rough draft to Coldplay and then they blew it up that big. I acted very quickly because the fact that something was wrong with Rachel was on the news and that is how we were. All of us. We all worked and none of us would have cops question us because we had jobs.


With Evan and him getting right with God. This story I just typed isn't fictitious. Jon Stewart was at my Parents house the night we all got together and they played what I wrote. Something had to be done. She had a seizure and illegal drugs was a problem.


It's so true that if we had an album that fit a Coldplay show I bet we could open for them. If we get a steady gig at a restaurant I guarantee you if we keep working someday because I did that Methodose could open for Coldplay.


Also I helped with a lot of the ideas on the 13th Step Album by APC with Andy's digital recorder. I think it's possible too that eventually Methodose open up for A Perfect Circle.


Fortress by Sister Hazel was all me and Bub. We did all of the rough drafts.


Neighborhood friends and I made a lot of the rough draft Jason Mraz songs.


Methodose could eventually open for Jason Mraz and Sister Hazel.


God Bless have a good night.
