1. Devotion is the latest musical project from Mark Palm, the creative mind behind Go It Alone. This project finds Palm moving even further in the direction that was becoming evident in the final Go It Alone recordings; slow, dark, rock oriented hardcore. In the fall of 2008 a ten song LP entitled Bastard Son Of Affluence Blues was recorded with Jesse Gander at The Hive Creative Labs in Burnaby British Columbia. In addition to Palm’s vocals and guitar playing, drum and percussion performances were handled by Aaron O’Neil of ON.
Drawing influence from hardcore, rock, and beyond, Bastard Son Of Affluence Blues is a forty minute monolith of heavy, yet tuneful, hard volume.

6.Devotion is a talented and dynamic duo from the UK, comprised of brother and sister, Daniel and Peace Oluwatobi.
Daniel and Peace began their singing career at the age of 9 years old when they would travel with their mother locally, performing at gospel conferences and various events. This sparked a passion and desire in their hearts for music.
In 2005, Daniel became the youth Praise and Worship Leader in his church, he then went on to be the bassist for the church Praise and Worship team. One of Daniel's hobbies is video and audio production, which he loves to do in his spare time. He is the Co-founder and Senior Video Editor for Motive Driven Media.

Devotion would like to thank all those who support their music, and hope you will continue to follow them on their journey.
7. Devotion is a Neofolk /Experimental band from Wisconsin, United States.
Troy Schafer (of Kinit Her, Wreathes, Rain Drinkers, et al.) and frequent collaborator Dani Schafer began this recording project, a musical work to celebrate their relationship together, just after moving in with each other in 2009. Over the course of the following years they continued to develop and deepen the content of this musical project just as they have their personal relations. Now married and living far from where they began, they have finally turned in the result of their efforts, a beautiful record under the banner of the aptly christened Devotion. Those already familiar with the Schafers' musical forays into the hidden recesses of folkish trance and the moving cadence of ancient melodies, as is well documented in their work with Kinit Her and Wreathes, will be thrilled to hear them sink all the more deep within these sounds of their shared atmosphere and to stretch out within the music of their own hearth. Maidenly vocals soar, with glorious harmonies twisting over a stirring rush of stringed and brass instruments and propulsive percussion, with Dani's voice drawing familiar timbres from the memories of classic 1960's acid folk goddesses. Despite the haunting inherent in this and all music born of those with their roots deep in the soil of Wisconsin, Devotion is able to safely make their prayers within the sanctuary of the each others loving grace, and this feeling weaves itself with warm reassurance throughout the entire album.

When I
Devotion Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Oh, whoa, yeah
I sit and think about you
Your eyes are calling my heart
I wish I can give you my love
But I don't know where to start
Is to feel your touch
And have your hand in mine
To feel your heart
Beat next to mine
Would make my dreams come true
When I'm lost, will you find my way?
When I cry, will you ease my pain?
When I fall, will you lift me up?
When I need someone to love
You know the times we shared
Could never be compared
To the love that we'd have
If you were by my side
I vow from now to then
This love will never end
The feelings I hold inside
Will you be the one
To fill this emptiness
I know (I know)
That no one could never take (could ever take)
Could never take your place
When I'm lost, will you find my way?
When I cry, will you ease my pain? (Will you wipe the tears)
When I fall, will you lift me up? (From off my face?)
When I need someone
Inside, I'm crying
So will you open up your arms?
And I pray that you'll be the one
You'll be the one
You're the only one for me
When I'm lost, oh, girl, will you be there?
When I cry, oh, girl, will you be there?
When I fall, girl, will you be there?
When I need someone, will you be there? (need someone to love)
When I'm lost, oh, girl, will you be there? (When I'm lost, will you find my way?)
When I cry, oh, girl, will you be there? (When I cry, will you ease my pain?)
When I fall, girl, will you be there? (When I fall, will you lift me up?
When I need someone, will you be there? (When I need someone to love)
When I'm lost, oh, girl, will you be there? (When I'm lost, will you find my way?)
When I cry, oh, girl, will you be there? (When I cry, will you ease my pain?)
When I fall, girl, will you be there? (When I fall, will you lift me up?
When I need someone, will you be there? (When I need someone to love)
When I'm lost, will you find my way?
When I cry, will you ease my pain? (Will you wipe the tears)
When I fall, will you lift me up? (From off my face?)
