in my opinion, lyrics are an expression of opinion... or a chance to be completly random.
people might take offence, but what's done is done, is an awesome song, this guy is awesome as he is. not much we can do other than have the song taken of youtube, which is stupid because it's an awesome song.
when you consider how often things can get lost in translation (something you said about a friend, that was repeated incorrectly... etc..) its pretty difficult to rest your existence on a book that was translated many many many times over thousands of years by a multitude of people you've never met with their own agendas that you couldn't possibly be aware of.
@TheJkirsch Christianity is a broken vessel, and i was RAISED in the church my whole life. I have met hundreds of people that don't profess yet are among the finest people i've had the pleasure of knowing. also, i've known people considered to be right next to Holiness by many peoples standards, who are black as coal in their heart... oh! and i like the song. you sound like a young john lennon well done
First of all, I am not a dude; I am a woman. Second, I am not a spammer; I testify to the truth of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Finally, the song is wicked, but not in the sense that you probably mean. John is good with covers and playing the drums. His original thoughts do not appear to draw much interest; look at the number of views on this, dude.
first of all i could care less what your gender is. Second, that is spamming because this video has nothing to do with the gospel of jesus. Third i just found out about this guy yesterday and he is very talented, thats why i subscribed. I don't care about his popularity and i don't really understand what you are implying with that point...
I was pointing out your arrogance in assuming all that you did about me. You say you just discovered johnnyonline. Did you read the previous comments? I'm not the only one who has a problem with what John is "preaching" in this song, and it has everything to do with the Gospel of Jesus Christ. There are some of us who find this song offensive, especially given what John says this song is about. I have every right to disagree with John.This is a public forum, dude. Peace.
alright fair enought, well I just read the comments, seems that you're really the only one who took offense to it, and then you said you were going to stop posting, and then you continued to post. If you don't like what he's saying then leave, no one will miss you.
And i never said that you're not allowed to disagree, I just said that your posts are very annoying. No one care's about your god.
I'm gona stop posting cause i don't really care to get into a religious debate over a song.
My memory is very sharp. There were at least two others who had a problem with the message in this song. I don't recall saying that I was going to stop posting. I think you have me confused with someone else. Who are you to speak for everyone? I rarely post, and I NEVER tell anyone that they can't speak their mind. I had something to say, and I said it. My advice is to you is to let it go. I'm not looking for a fight. Peace.
people who are all the time trying to turn others to jesus are really annoying. they usualy just turn people further away from him, cause its so anoying, if someone's gonna realize something like that for real, he/she is gonna have to do it by himslef/herself. most christian's are christians just because they were raised and told to be, probably 95% of christians would be for example muslims if they were raised to be muslims. christians dont believe in god, they think they know him.
Actually, if you read the Bible, you will know that Jesus commands his followers to go out and preach the Good News (aka Gospel) to all men unto the ends of the earth. In my youth, I was an agnostic, but I began to see the love of God in others. However, it was only after I began reading Psalms that my eyes were open to my sinfulness and my need for repentance. I am no longer a slave to sin. "He whom the Son sets free is free indeed."
Second, I have been thinking about an old Jewish friend/coworker I knew around the same time. We had lost touch, and I had not seen her in 15 years. This was another desire of my heart ... to find an old friend. Behind me in line in the home improvement store this morning was a mutual coworker and we recognized each other (not much has changed but some gray hairs on both of us). He told me that he is working with her again. I gave him my married name and phone numbers. The Lord works in my life!
Johnny, thought I'd share with you some really cool things that God has orchestrate in my life during the past couple of years.
First - Last year, I said I silent prayer that I would have the opportunity to thank a woman who saved my life over 20 years ago. I was stepping off the curb in downtown DC when a metro bus came flying around the corner. She grabbed me by the back of my shirt and pulled me back just as I felt the bus whizzing by my face. I ran into her in the waiting area of my dr ofc.
Your point is precisely what I was saying. Each of us has free will. Have you ever asked God to reveal Himself to you? I have, and He answers me. Did you know that even Mother Teresa had doubts? Life can be difficult.
Oh, and what I mean by man becoming stupider has a lot to do with wasting time and being lazy. Einstein said that he wasn't smarter than anyone else, he just stayed with a problem longer. Whatever you do, do it with all of your heart. Thank you for opening up. God bless you.
I almost accidentally typed god damn but that would be offensive it seems.
I was thinking today, and i like to live life without rules i'm a full blast freelancer and would hate too put my faith in something someone in general.
No offense to your religion but isn't it insanely ignorant that people still think that Mary was a virgin after she gave birth. I can't help but think everybody should stick to what they believe and don't even think of forcing it on anybody in any way.
I am not Catholic, and the emphasis Catholicism puts on Mary is something that many take issue with. God created sex and I thank Him for it ... sometimes while I'm having it. I am happily married with two children. I just watched "Expelled: No Intelligence Allowed" and LMAO. To think that "scientists" would entertain the idea that (more intelligent) "aliens" created us, but they would NEVER be willing to consider that His name is God. Man is not evolving; he's becoming stupider.
Christianity is not following a set of rules. It is a way of life. Hippies didn't invent the idea of "treating people the way that you want to be treated," God did. I believe that the only way that we can truly do this is by doing what Jesus said, "Except you be converted, and become as little children, you shall not enter the kingdom of heaven." I'm enjoying life, but I am also looking forward to the life to come. There will be no more tears in heaven.
I believe something totally different, i think we are just a big cluster fuck of gas from outer space, If organisms can be mutated threw radioactivity i wonder what some of the stuff out in space can do.
I think we are a giant colaberation of gas that formed everything on this planet.
As for man is getting stupider, just not true, we are changing not getting smarter nor stupider we just can't know everything so we just adapt to new environments and situations.
Watch the movie, if you can. These "scholars" also mentioned the idea that man does not have free will. Unless you are severely disabled, you are capable of doing good or doing evil.
I love justice and mercy. I also enjoy having God use me to bless someone else. Now that's a gas!
Seriously, nothing is controlling me like a puppet, I don't commit crimes as if Satan was controlling me neither do i believe in god so god isn't controlling me.
I'm a lone wolf doing whatever i like because life is great and i don't want it to go to waste. I believe in myself for fulfilling my dreams not a god or whatever.
Even if i wanted to be religious i am a 100% logical thinking person so i wouldn't be able to believe in god.
I would be interested in knowing what you mean by "full of hypocrisy and contradiction." People like to drop "bombs" like this and then say something like "let's just agree to disagree." Have you really given Jesus Christ a chance? Whether you are happy or not, I can't argue. Just something you may want to think about. Some people are happy sitting in a pile of doo doo wop. (grin) BTW, never accepted faith blindly, and wouldn't expect you to either.
Johhny, I really like your music. However, if you think that "religion" is just "make believe," then I feel sorry for you. My relationship with Jesus Christ has given me more love, understanding, and freedom than anything. True, hypocrisy and evil abound, but that only proves that we need a Savior! God bless you.
thank you for the concern, but i would argue that i have just as much love, understanding, and freedom in my life without the need for faith in Christian mythology. What you attain from your beliefs, i attain from reality. indeed hypocrisy surrounds us, but rarely in the realm of atheism will you find it.
peace be with you, because god almost certainly is not.
Johnny, you sang "Life is Wonderful." Do you really believe that? God created all of these wonderful things. It is written, "The fool has said in his heart there is no God." You can believe what you want to Johnny, but God IS in my life. He has blessed me beyond measure, so much that I can bless others. Many believers direct unbelievers to read the Gospel of John, but God drew me to Himself through Psalms. I say to anyone reading this: "Seek God with all of your heart and you will find Him."
life IS wonderful. why would my lack of religion make me think otherwise? are you calling me a fool for not believing? because i find that somewhat offensive. nature, science, maths and physics hold all the answers i could ever need in this and any other world.
i find the circular, self referential nature of religious language embarrassing and dangerous. it serves only to perpetuate a 2000 year old mindset.
let go of your beliefs and only THEN will you find the truth.
I could have taken offense at your statement "peace be with you b/c god certainly is not." I shared what Holy Scripture says about atheists b/c I believe it is true. I am not here to condemn you; however, I suspect you are not as happy as you like to pretend. Science is awesome. I met a mathematician who came to believe in intelligent design of the universe (i.e. God) b/c of the purity of the science of math. I would be interested in hearing the real reason why you have chosen to reject Christ.
i am exactly as happy as am, without pretence. happy or sad, i never pretend and i'm not sure where you got the notion that i ever did. jesus was probably a nice guy, but the bible and religion as a whole is to my eyes, so full of hypocrisy and contradiction that i could not accept faith blindly even if i tried. i think we'll butt heads on this for all eternity, so why don't we just agree to disagree on this one.
im not 100 percent sure if you would even reply to this,but i have a story you might like? i was in winn dixie reading a MAD magazine when i was 12 and lady i had never seen in my life gave me a bible pamphet and she told me things like jesus is my savior and god love me. i looked her straight in the eye and said
i mean personally i got something like a figure speaking to a religious figure head telling them to disperse into the rest of society, and get involved, then evolve according to what the society needs
but regardless...its an interesting song that i don't feel should be criticized for an open ended meaning. Should it possibly be praised instead?
As I said ... it sounds like you're throwing the baby out with the bath. What religion? Would you say that Islam is the same as Judaism is the same as Christianity is the same as Hinduism is the same as atheism? Away from organized religion to what? Disorganized religion? From organized atheist toward God? Away from devoted faith to mediocre?
On another level, away from the teachings of followers or away from the source of the religion? Creative video, but without valid thought.
well how specific can a 3 minute amateur pop song get? "lalala, turn your back on organised religion and all it's mind controlling hypocrisy then walk towards atheism and all the good that clear thought and a clear conscience can bring, lalala, doo wop doo wop."
haha. i prefer to leave the lyrical content of my music open to interpretation. though i'm happy for it to provoke open discussion on religion, politics, sex, or cake recipes.
Amazing how much the song has stayed the same. Different venue; different face; nothing new. Same old tune of those who sit and stew, then spew tripe. In the 60's it found a voice, and that voice has continued for close to half a century. We in the USA now have a presidential candidate that sings the tune: CHANGE TO ANYTHING! RESIST WHAT IS THERE. Be a proactive part of solving instead of raging against ______________. Get some fresh air and you'll see that there is much to praise.
I dont know if its about america, USA bashing is in vogue and as such this is light weight fluff just to seem topical.its a safe view.the victims of the hitlers/saddams,slobodans dont get any songs, cause they arent in vogue.
you can read whatever meaning into it that you want to i guess. but in my mind it's about questioning authority in general, but if you wanted to get specific.. religion.
well you wrote the song so you know what its about. that last line just seemed like it gave it away but I guess I was wrong. BTW submit to authority!resistence is futile. you will be assimilated.
F*kin rockin awesome! You are SO amazingly talented! (ps stop apologizing-sort of-for the Naked Vlog. You bared your arse to the masses - what have they done for you lately? LOL)
I found out that you know Bianca Chen... who goes out with the bassist featured in some of your vids. I'm really good friends with B. Such a small world.
Cool song. And I love the camera effect, which is odd cause normally when I know how camera effects are done they don't interest me. But something about this one seems really cool.
And yeah, not being able to find a dropped stick (or dropping/tossing it too far away) is the reason I keep multiple sticks on both sides of myself when I play. ;)
Very very well done!! Thank you for this! song! I'm a big fan of your uploads here on YouTube!

well you wrote the song so you know what its about. that last line just seemed like it gave it away but I guess I was wrong. BTW submit to authority!resistence is futile. you will be assimilated.

Good stuff, Johnny.
I could use a chorus though.
Also, I love how ridiculous you are.
Oh, and that AstroBoy poster is sweet. :D
imthehuman 3 years ago
a melodic chorus is the only thing left!!!!
do it and it will sound great
and like a part of the song where the guitars and the bass cut out, and you do a drum solo :D
that would be great

I found out that you know Bianca Chen... who goes out with the bassist featured in some of your vids. I'm really good friends with B. Such a small world.

Cool song. And I love the camera effect, which is odd cause normally when I know how camera effects are done they don't interest me. But something about this one seems really cool.
And yeah, not being able to find a dropped stick (or dropping/tossing it too far away) is the reason I keep multiple sticks on both sides of myself when I play. ;)
