Beyond the Earth - by Jesse Sprinkle

Awesome song from an awesome album... with an awesome story & purpose......
Jesse Sprinkle is from Seattle, WA - he started his musical career at the age of 14 when he became the drummer for Poor Old Lu.  After POL broke up, he was drumming for multiple bands (at various times) including Starflyer 59, Denison Witmer, Michael Knott (& he also drummed for Brooke Barrettsmith's album [the former contestant of American Idol… now in the band Vialyne]).  He was also the first drummer for Demon Hunter (until before their 3rd album, "The Triptych"); then shortly after, he became the drummer for Dead Poetic & was with them until they went on a hiatus.  Aside from his drumming with other bands, he's also released 5 solo albums & a number of other side; & aside from his music career, he has been making trips to Uganda helping with the Ugandan Water Project, & other missions including work with orphans & rebuilding projects.  He now resides in East Avon, NY & co-operates Bluebrick Recordings.  His latest solo project, "Streamstory", was released just this past March & has an awesome story & purpose behind it (watch the YouTube video to see what I mean…).  This song is from "Streamstory".
(I cannot find the entire song on the internet, but you can hear the 1:30 long clip on iTunes:

& here's the mentioned video about what's behind the project, plus a clip of "Color of the First Light":

I'd highly recommend the album - not only is it good music, but also for some good causes…  Check it out!
