Geoff Dyer
Geoff Dyer (born 5 June 1958) is an English writer. He is the author of four novels and seven books of non-fiction, which have won a number of literary awards and been translated into 24 languages. He has been described as "one of our greatest living critics, not of the arts but of life itself, and one of our most original writers" (by Kathryn Schulz in New York Magazine).
Personal background
Dyer was born and raised in Cheltenham as the only child of a sheet-metal worker father and a school dinner lady mother. He was educated at the local Grammar School and won a scholarship to study English at Corpus Christi College, Oxford. He is married to Rebecca Wilson, Chief Curator at Saatchi Art, Los Angeles. In March 2014, Dyer revealed that he had had a minor stroke earlier in the year, shortly after moving to live in Venice, California.
Writing career
Geoff Dyer is the author of four novels: The Colour of Memory, The Search, Paris Trance, and, most recently, Jeff in Venice, Death in Varanasi; a critical study of John Berger, Ways of Telling; three collections of essays, Anglo-English Attitudes, Working the Room and Otherwise Known as the Human Condition (a selection from the previous two essay collections published in the US); and six genre-defying titles: But Beautiful (on jazz), The Missing of the Somme (on the memorization of First World War), Out of Sheer Rage (about D H Lawrence), Yoga For People Who Can’t Be Bothered To Do It, The Ongoing Moment (on photography), and Zona (about Andrei Tarkovsky’s 1979 film Stalker).

Tearin' Down the Walls
by: Geoff MooreDavid Martin
Ephesians 2:14-17
I get weary, life gets downright hard
In this world we're all stuck to the ground reaching for the
stars
When the mountain's high
And the road runs long
And the sun seems it won't shine
You keep holding on with a love so strong
You keep...
Chorus
Tearin' down the walls between us
Building up the love
You keep on tearin' down the walls between us
Never giving up
I keep thinking things might turn around
And the dreams we dream will find their wings and leave the
ground
But they all fall down
Never make a sound
And I want to run and hide
But You keep holding on with a love so strong
Chorus
When the mountain's high
And the road is long
And the sun seems it won't shine
You keep holding on with a love so strong
