When she was introduced to metal she felt in love with the power and the energy of it and was encouraged to try singing by her longtime friend Craig Goldy. Freeman and Pete Wells became close friends and she has said that there is something about his playing that inspires her to this day. They started writing together and were in a few bands together, including Medusa and the Malady. They felt that after playing quite a few local shows in San Diego that it was time to move forward and see what they could do musically on a new level and that is when they embarked on the project that is now Benedictum. With some help from Craig they were introduced to the musician Jeff Pilson, who helped promote the group.
In July 2015, Freeman as The V, released her debut solo album, 'Now or Never', which features numerous guest appearances including Michael Sweet as writer and producer on the tracks, "Again" and "Love Should Be to Blame"; Tony Martin as vocalist on "King For a Day", and Chastain vocalist, Leather Leone on "Kiss My Lips".
Gravity
The v Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Stranger than it seems
Through the ages worlds collide
Weaving on our dreams
Once she was the friend of mine
Born to raise the roof of a fool
Far away, before my eyes
The gravity still rules
Never saw the light of day
We just waited for your word
Leftovers in a night of June
Divinely in a curse
Once she was the only one
The stranger within me
Funny how worlds collide
On an island lost at sea
At sea
Silhouettes on a cosmic screen
Spreading to find love
Knows exactly where you've been
And what it's all about
Never saw your relfection
Just myself in an atom school
Far away, before my eyes
The gravity still rules
Never saw the light of day
Still waiting here for your word
Leftovers in a night of June
To get what we deserve
Once she was the friend of mine
A long long time ago
Through the ages worlds collide
And everywhere it grows
The gravity still rules
The gravity still rules
The gravity still rules
The gravity still rules
The song "Gravity" by The V's is a reflective track about a relationship that is no longer the same, but still holds a strong gravitational pull. The lyrics are written in a way that sets a mysterious and dreamy tone. The song appears to be about two people who were once friends but have drifted apart. The singer of the song talks about how he/she and the friend have changed over the years, but the gravitational pull of their past keeps them connected in some way. The line "once she was a friend of mine" suggests that the singer had a close relationship with this person but is distant from them now.
The song touches on the irony of how things change, yet some things stay the same. The line "Funny how worlds collide on an island lost at sea" speaks to how two people who come from different places can find themselves in the same space, even when they both seem lost. The feeling of being lost is depicted in the line "Weaving on our dreams." The song also touches on the idea of a higher power or destiny. The line "knows exactly where you've been and what it's all about" suggests that there's a force greater than ourselves that guides us to where we need to be.
Line by Line Meaning
Once she was a friend of mine
There was a time when I considered her to be my friend
Stranger than it seems
But looking back, our relationship was much more complicated than I realized
Through the ages worlds collide
Over time, our separate worlds intersected and clashed
Weaving on our dreams
Our hopes and aspirations became intertwined
Once she was the friend of mine
Again, I reflect on the past and remember her as a friend
Born to raise the roof of a fool
She had a knack for stirring up trouble and taking risks that often ended poorly
Far away, before my eyes
Despite being distant in both time and space, her presence still lingers in my mind's eye
The gravity still rules
The force of our past and present connections still pull at us, regardless of the distance between us
Never saw the light of day
Our plans and ideas never quite came to fruition
We just waited for your word
We put our faith in her guidance, hoping she would steer us towards success
Leftovers in a night of June
We were left with only scraps of what we had hoped to accomplish
Divinely in a curse
We couldn't help but feel that our predicament was part of some larger cosmic plan, but it felt like a curse
Once she was the only one
At one point, she was the sole person I relied on
The stranger within me
But now, she seems like a stranger to me, and I am not even sure what part of myself she once fulfilled
Funny how worlds collide
It's strange how the paths we choose can lead us to interact with people we never expected to meet
On an island lost at sea
We were stranded without direction, lost in a sea of uncertainties
Silhouettes on a cosmic screen
Our lives played out like shadows on a grand, universal stage
Spreading to find love
We were searching for love, whether romantic or platonic, and our actions rippled out in hopes of finding it
Knows exactly where you've been
Some greater force seems to keep tabs on our journeys and the choices we make
And what it's all about
But in the end, it's unclear what the grand meaning of it all truly is
Never saw your reflection
We never really understood how we appeared to others, or how our choices affected those around us
Just myself in an atom school
We were insular and isolated, grappling with our own internal struggles rather than recognizing the interconnectedness of the world
To get what we deserve
We expected to receive some sort of reward or recognition for our efforts
A long long time ago
But now, it feels like ages have passed since those earlier days
And everywhere it grows
Despite the distance and the time that has passed, the influence she once had on my life still remains apparent
The gravity still rules
That pull of the past and the force of our intertwined lives still exist, even if we are never to cross paths again
The gravity still rules
The undeniable presence of our shared experiences and the impact they had on us continues to shape us, even in the present
The gravity still rules
And it always will, for better or for worse

Ralf da Almeida
I get caught up
In all these petty things
Losing sight of what matters to You
But then You come
And take me by the hand
You say come up here with Me
And then my feet came off the ground
You lifted me above the clouds
As I looked down the whole world seemed so small
Past the stars through space and time
And I forget what’s left behind
As I’m surrounded by these grander things
Up here in perfect harmony
You’re orchestrating galaxies
They’re lighting up as far as I can see
The majesty
The mystery
Your gravity pulls me close to You
And I can breathe again
Here with You
There’s nothing more to say
And it’s clear what matters to You
Sovereign, high above it all
Sovereign You are
And I can rest, 'cause it’s all in Your hands
Sovereign You are
❤️🎶

Gravidade
Eu me pego
Em todas estas coisas mesquinhas
Perdendo de vista o que é importante para Ti
Mas então, Você vem
E pega pela minha mão
Você diz:Venha até aqui comigo
E então meus pés saíram do chão
Você me levantou acima das nuvens
Quando olhei para baixo todo o mundo parecia tão pequeno
Passado as estrelas através do espaço e do tempo
E eu esqueço o que é deixado para trás
Como eu estou cercado por estas coisas grandiosas
Até aqui, em perfeita harmonia
Você está orquestrando galáxias
Eles estão iluminando tanto quanto eu posso ver
A majestade
O mistério
Sua gravidade puxa-me para perto de Ti
E eu posso respirar de novo
Aqui com Você
Não há nada mais a dizer
E está claro o que importa para Você
Soberano, acima de tudo
Soberano És
E eu posso descansar, porque tudo está em Suas mãos
Soberano És

Jesus loves you 😊😊 Jesus loves you all, He can remove your emptiness and pain if you let Him. He loves you with a love you didn’t know existed. Give Him a chance, please. He loves you. Do not end your life, please stay. You are so precious, wanted and loved. If you don’t want your life - give it to Jesus. All these lies and torments you hear - flip it and it is the truth! Listen to “Voice of God” and “As you find me” on youtube. Also please listen to: Dan Mohler, Kenneth Hagin, Todd White and Kathryn Kullmann. I hope to see you in heaven one day😊

This song means a lot to me because GOD took me out of space where HE showed me the rapture... I remember the stars and planets and master pieces created by GOD... I will never forget that journey...

when i was 15yrs old, i tried committing suicide. i took 20 pills. i was so close to death. my whole body swelled up. i got bumps all over my body. my throat was startin to close up and i could barely even breathe. i knew i was seconds away from death. i was gasping for air. i got scared and regretted it right away. i wished ive never done it. for the first time in my life, i cried out to God and told him i dont wanna die. i jus need help. plz help me. plz help me. i wept. within seconds, i felt this warmth, love and peace surround me. i knew for a fact it was God. within seconds, he healed my whole body. i could breathe. swelling was gone. he instantly delivered me from suicidal thoughts and depression after strugglin with it for 6yrs. psychiatrists and psychologists and takin their medicine never helped. the only thing that WORKED was when i cried out to God and asked him for help. he instantly saved me and delivered me and performed miracles on me. he gave me a new outlook on life. for once in my life i actually wanted to live and not die. that was something odd for me cuz for 6yrs i wanted to die so bad. my mom had cancer and shes the reason why i tried taking my life cuz i didnt wanna lose her. i lost her at 16yrs old and lost my dad at 17yrs old. i didnt kno Jesus until i was 24 n a half yrs old. im 25 now n my relationship with Jesus is so strong. hes helped me change into a whole diff person. ppl actually see the miraculous change in me. if it wasnt for Jesus, id be dead right now. The only healer u need is Jesus. hes our healer. Go to Jesus for healing. im living proof 😊💖 Jesus loves u😊💖 he wants u to repent and forsake ur sins, be born again and place ur faith n trust in him. start havin a personal relationship with Jesus and obey him 😊💖
