  His Name Is Alive - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
His Name Is Alive is a band from Livonia, Michigan, essentially the personal project of musician Warren Defever.
Defever began recording as His Name Is Alive in 1986, inspired by experimental artists such as Eddie Cochran, King Tubby, Jimi Hendrix, Leadbelly, and 4AD's Cocteau Twins.
In late 2002 it was announced that His Name Is Alive were no longer a member of 4AD, with some rumors indicating the band was dropped, and others that it was an amicable parting.

More disturbing is that the FBI accidentally may have fused two names to create one identity, because another man, Abdul Rahman al-Omari, who has a different birth date, is the person pictured by the FBI, but he still is a pilot for Saudi Arabian Airlines.

 HIS NAME IS ALIVE - Exclusive interview with Wanr Defever
In the twelve years he's been the driving for behind His Name Is Alive, Warn Defever has taken the band in many directions, from the dark atmospheres of the first couple of albums to the electric tension of the follow ups, to the classic soul and R'n'B of Someday My Blue Will Cover The Earth.
HNIA seemed to have gained more attention during the “electric years”, and releasing Someday… was probably going more against the grain than any other changed in your career.

In 1999, His Name Is Alive released a US compilation of tracks from their first five albums called Always Stay Sweet; at the time, those albums were only available as British imports.

Despite the mournfulness of early HNIA releases, a certain wry, puckish sense of humor began to emerge fairly early, initially in song titles.
Each successive HNIA album has reinvented their sound whole cloth —from the haunting, obsessive song-poems of Home is in Your Head (1991) to the relative straightforwardness and ecstatic spirituality of Mouth by Mouth (1993) through to the bluesy, soulful laments of 2002’s 4AD swan song, Last Night.
HNIA’s “Summerbird” EP is available for download here for a limited time.

There are some artists who, at one point or another in their musical life, seem so utterly detached from contemporary tastes that they’re never likely to trouble the mainstream with their bizarre warblings.
His Name Is Alive’s Warren Defever has been ploughing a unique musical furrow for nearly 10 years, combining naïve melody with bizarre lyrics and all manner of recording quirks, chopped together with some breathtakingly dexterous editing.
Contrary to popular opinion there’s nothing precious about His Name Is Alive’s music (though the name has probably never done them any favours.) It’s the lack of any kind of respect for musical borders that makes His Name Is Alive’s music so invigorating, so exciting to listen to.

Back in his teens, Warren DeFever, who essentially is His Name Is Alive, converted his parents' suburban Detroit basement into a Hipsville USA assembly line of experimental pop.
And on His Name Is Alive's last full-length, Stars on ESP, he offered a beguiling re-enactment of the Beach Boys' "Good Vibrations." The concept this time revolves around new wave and soul projections (the disc's producer, Steve King, has worked with Aretha Franklin and Funkadelic).
Unfortunately, the cosmic sloppiness of the soul jams suggests that DeFever may be reaching for something beyond his grasp.

Dark, disturbing, and beautiful, His Name Is Alive's Home Is in Your Head develops the deceptively simple, abstractly emotional music they introduced on Livonia.

One of His Name Is Alive's consistant charms has always been their songwriting, despite an uncanny - some might say mercurial - ability to reinvent themselves from one record to the next - but not even their most ardent fans could have expected what their last album delivered.
Initially, Warn was going to help her produce a demo in return for her guesting on a few HNIA tracks - but he was so smitten by her voice that he wrote a whole album for her to sing.
But it's the HNIA originals that captivate - the haunting title track, the heartmelt of "Flowers", the beautifully stripped-down "I Can See Myself In Her" and the smoky intimacy of the closing "Train".

Christians have been blinded to the True Name of the Son of Elohim-Yahshua.They have been taught it is “Jesus” a Greek/Latin Hybrid name that has no connection to the Jewish Rabbi from Nazareth in the Galilee.
The name of Yahshua was changed and “tradition” has kept it changed even when those in authority who have the influence and power to make change have been shown the error, they choose on the side of tradition instead of what Yahweh has established as the true saving name of his son.
And one of them, named Caiaphas, being the high Pries that same year, said unto them, Ye know nothing at all, Nor consider that it is expedient for us, that one man should die for the people, and that the whole nation perish not.

 Gardens Alive, Inc. v Home Harvest Garden Supply, Inc. - Case No. 94296
Respondent's domain name registration for "GARDENSALIVE.COM" is nearly identical to Complainant's "GARDENS ALIVE!" Mark except for the addition of the top-level domain name level designation, namely, ".com" and the subtraction of the "!".
Respondent's domain name registration for "GARDENSALIVE.COM" is confusingly similar to Complainant's United States registration for the Mark "GARDENS ALIVE!" because Respondent's domain name registration for "GARDENSALIVE.COM" is identical to the word portion of the Complainant's United States registration.
Respondent has therefore registered the domain name "GARDENSALIVE.COM" in bad faith because the registration, the use and the current inactivity created and are still creating a likelihood of confusion with Complainant's "GARDENS ALIVE!" Mark.
