Kauan is now in Finland ๐ซ๐ฎ. โWayHomeโ is the latest album, 8 songs that lead from one to the next. Itโs mixed w/electronic/ambient music, along w/acoustic guitar, piano, string instruments. The slow pace makes it a journey to be savored. (Finnish w/ English translations.)

The Anti-Christ doesnโt have horns. No, the Anti-Christ acts in every way that is completely opposite of Christ! And we all know who that is! But if you take the Bible literally like fundamentalists do, then you miss the obvious staring you right in the face!
