Favorite song on "Singalong"
Update: I just watched three times in a row, you owe it to your self.
Update: I just watched it again and it reminded me that I got in trouble the first time I played it for Danielle. I had just picked her up from the airport, after she was gone for a week, and I wanted to share the album and particularly this song with her. However, she just wanted to talk, so it didn’t end well when I turned it up and said, “listen to this song.”
Update 3: Now this is probably deserves another post but the power of the song above made me think of another song with a totally different vibe, but still sung to God. Johnny Cash’s version of “Hurt.” Probably the best cover and music video ever. He’s so honest in delivery I dare you not to tear up.
Update 4: Looks like it was too good to be true… they took down the first video. I’m assuming they’ll post it again later because they’ve been releasing each song from the album slowly and this week they strangely released two songs. When it comes I’ll post it.
The video is no longer there. Can you grab another link?
I showed “Hurt” to my mom awhile ago, and she said it was the most depressing thing she’s ever seen.
But songs about living in a broken world (death, pain, disappointment) only verify how much we need a savior, and how silly it is to put your faith in all of the stupid things the world tells us to believe in.
Charismatic politicans can’t save you. Your spouse can’t save you. Efficient government can’t save you. You can fix the health care system, but you’re still going to die. You can march for peace, but if you hate your neighbor, what’s the point?
