Lyrics:	LOW Low Low is good Kind of makes you high, kind of makes you know things Low Low is good Kind of makes you high, kind of makes you know me Now its time to part with all my seals, they break they peel Degeneration can't be far behind But its not so bad because I see, I have been free I have that blessed sight that eats away I feel it now inside its pretty clear, that I am dear To things in which you won't confide The chill that cracks my bones to bring me near, to heat that sears To raucous silent screams to wondrous sighs It makes me real, no no Can't break it don't fight it, just hang on It makes me real, no no Can't break it don't fight it, just bang on It makes me real, no no Without it I am nothing It makes me real, no no Without it I am nothing So when I consistently feel fear, to rage to tears I will remember why I'm still alive I'm the things I feel and think and see Forced to be- I am a freak a god a muse insane Freak, a God, a Muse, Insane Freak, a God, a Muse, Insane Freak, a God, a Muse, Insane Freak, a God, a Muse, Insane Low Low is good Kind of makes you high, kind of makes you know things Low Low is good Kind of makes you high, kind of makes you know me It makes me real, no no Can't break it don't fight it, just hang on It makes me real, no no Can't break it don't fight it, just bang on It makes me real, no no Without it I am nothing It makes me real, no no Without it I am nothing (c)Christian Merry, Street Bebe Music ASCAP

I'm so glad Brandon mentioned the guitarist. Right, that's me. I played guitar on all the tracks except "SAND". Playing with Rick, Christian,Brandon and Raul was great. Truly the best of what the NY music scene had to offer. Dave McConnell

Just found this site and I must add to it. I auditioned for Rick and Xn in the early 90s. I saw their ad in the Village Voice and responded not knowing what I was getting into.... I have to say that in all my years of playing drums, playing with Acts was the best experience that any musician could ask for. It's still my favorite band. I learned so much...I moved to Boston in '97 and left Acts, ...

Just thought I'd clear up some confusion. The drummer on Trivial, Elliptical, Bridge, Wasteland, and Bullet are not Raul Vasquez. I'm the drummer on those. I've been out of the band for a loooong time, but (trying not to sound petty) I would like credit for my work. And, the guitarist on those same tracks is David McConnell, who I think is a brilliant musician. This music was a lot of fun to play. ...
