Soulsavers featuring Mark Lanegan - Spiritual

[lovelygreebo]

Jesussss, I don't wanna be aloneeeee

[GoWithGrunge]

Im quite sure hes crying out to Jesus for comfort in this song, alot of his songs are similar. And FYI this song is by Johnny Cash, and its most definitely christian in and of itself.

[vivazapata1910]

Actually, this song was written by Josh Haden of Spain (who also sang on the first Soulsavers album)

[strutnoodle]

this isn't lanegan crying out for jesus' comfort. this is simply a song about deep inner lonliness. the soulsavers are most definately not a christian band. agnostic at best.

@strutnoodle word!

[strutnoodle]

I think religion is the antagonist in this story. Lanegan uses it in a dark way. Faith is not good, it is evil. It kills far more than it saves. It's not how far you fall, it's the way you land. Think about it.

[TangerineFriday]

In terms of how Lanegan uses Jesus, I'm going to have to disagree. Its often periphreal in his songs, but he obviously refers to god as a comforting force. And I would say it is more a faith, which is a personal virtue, rather than religion which is a concrete organization.

That specific line can be taken as a reason to have faith.

[strutnoodle]

Did you completely miss the track "jesus of nothing"? I think you missed something here.

[coreybhayes]

If you think faith is not "good" that is your "belief"

But I believe in Jesus Christ the lord and savior. Because he does save. He is living, And I "Believe" in Him.

[strutnoodle]

believing in God is as respectable as believing in aliens. both have equil evidence of existence. God has a book, aliens have ancient egyption drawings. I'll just leave it at that. I refuse to believe in something like that, it's irrational.

[strutnoodle]

I look a lot like jesus.

[Osis1981]

I see this song just as a cry of a desperate soul. Whether you believe in god or not, there are the times in life or everyone, when soul is crying for some shelter. I guess, in his songs, "god" or "Jesus" can be just a symbol.

Come on, music is absolutely emotional thing...

[yeimsmanuel]

i don't care about what lanegan sings . he always makes it sound awesome....

[dante144]

LOVE THIS SONG. makes me want to cry every time

I love you Jesus!

[audible67]

I still think the original Spain track is better. Great song.

[shallowxheart]

for sure the best song on the album.

[Ilsena]

This is my favourite song from the Soulsavers. It helps go through some worse moments. Very true lyrics.

[Stereohands]

I was at this gig, i didnt think much of those two support acts, but mark was great, he always sounds great whatever he sings, so soulfull

[83rdDream]

This was my favourite song of the show.
