Schumacher's progressive music styles - Progressive, Celtic, Acoustic.
Schumacher's music embraces a wide range of musical styles - a true blend of Progressive Rock, Celtic, and classical music arrangements. We try to make people feel, to capture and reflect emotion, and help others as their lives are touched by both good and bad. Our success is not our sales, but the comments listeners leave about how a song touched their hearts. Check out "The Snake in the Grass" or "The Buffalo Dance" for a snapshot of the band's acoustic-progressive work.

Story behind the song
Arguments and fights often resemble the brewing tempest and sudden outburst of violent natural forces. Brace yourself.
Lyrics
Shut the windows, for a storm's about to come. The clouds are fleeing eerie, scurry! thunder's beating drum. And fading through the darkening air, I'm called that name again, through raging winds my horses plough towards a safe domain. Clinched together in the wake of things to come, The angry forces brewing, the night's tempest has begun. bewildered by the nothingness the fury rages on determined to lay waste upon the balance of the swan. of the swan the balance of the swan Thickening morras, buried grudges come unstuck, Our minds racing in circles, our emotions run amok. The more we speak the less we hear, so yearning to be right, surrendering self-righteousness empailing love tonight. Clinched together in the wake of things to come, The angry forces brewing, the night's tempest has begun. bewildered by the nothingness the fury rages on determined to lay waste upon the balance of the swan. of the swan upon the balance of the swan. of the swan, watch the movement of that swan. Now it's over, and we survey the damage done, no army has advanced, no ground made up from where we've come. The sky is cleared through cold hard rain, The morning's closing in, the dawn is breaking, once again we walk among our kin. Through another day unwaveringly prevailed, the love you feel for me, I hope, will never be derailed. And settling in so gracefully, content on calming seas, the balance of the swan draws in the beauty that it meets. that it meets, that it meets, that it meets.
