Sister Rosetta Tharpe -- my journey to the sky

[rusaldeanviney]

i adore this song.

the lyrics are universal, jesus is just a metaphor.

its about anybody one may have loved.

in my opinion.

[Alexys1017]

Steven Tyler brought me here

[rusaldeanviney]

@Alexys1017

mr tyler brought you her how?

does he like this song?

[Alexys1017]

@rusaldeanviney in his book :) i will find you the exact quote:

"In the same way that Elvis got his sound from Sister Rosetta Tharpe (I dare you to youtube her right now) Ernest Tubb, Bob Wills, and Roy Orbison. And they, in turn, begat the Beatles and they begat the Stones and they begat Elton John, Marvin Gaye, Carole King and...Aerosmith" FUCK YA AEROSMITH

[rusaldeanviney]

@Alexys1017 isnt that interesting, elvis indeed.

[TheRavemmaster]

[CannedSausages]

This song was in my dream last night. Sue from Glee was punishing me and told me to sing it with her, but obviously I knew all the words and didn't really see it as a punishment. It was a very strange dream, but I'm glad this featured in it.

[rusaldeanviney]

@CannedSausages

well done you for knowing all the words.

im impressed.

one cannot help but sing along

[CannedSausages]

@rusaldeanviney Can't tell if you're being sarcastic or not...

[rusaldeanviney]

@CannedSausages

[kbrace11]

[NavysWorld]

@kbrace11 Haha, me too!

[kbrace11]

@NavysWorld that just proves that we (steven's fans) will do anything he tells us to do! lol

[rusaldeanviney]

@kbrace11 what does mr tyler say in his book?

[kbrace11]

@rusaldeanviney on like the second or third page, he talks about what music he grew up to, and she was one of them. he put that he dared the readers (us) to go youtube RIGHT THEN so i put down the book, and youtubed her and clicked on your video lol

[rusaldeanviney]

@kbrace11 excellent. i hope for more viewers then.

[johnbarry1965]

[rusaldeanviney]

@johnbarry1965 indeed

[oscontareunahistoria]

Could somebody get to me the lyrics of this song, please?

[buggy1978]

saludos

[thejohnnytwohands]

She's accompanied by Marie Knight here.

[kalyptus]

Even though I don't believe in God as He is described by our scriptures (or other scriptures), that kind of songs let me understand the love that's driven by an idea like Jesus, and I just don't want to fight such an idea, such a love concept

[rusaldeanviney]

@kalyptus

hare krishna

[oscontareunahistoria]

Does somebody know where can I get this song lyrics?

[LynchMobster47]

LOL. I love how in the show House, House is an atheist and yet he is always playing gospel music on the piano. Who can blame him though. This is a great song.

[LynchMobster47]

@LynchMobster47 By the way does anyone know where I can get piano sheet music for this? Or if anyone is willing to trade I got a lot of sheet music. E-mail me if you're interested. I'm at Lynch_Mobster_47@yahoo

[grains50]

I first heard this song on the tv show House MD and cried non stop. There was no atheist than I but I found this blessed song and God's love. Even now hearing this song i still cry. Some may think I am a sissy but until you have done the unthinkables that I have done, remain silent. God bless you all

[alicetheactress]

even being an atheist i love this song. gorgeous voice. :)

[eracism09]

@alicetheactress God speaks to people in different ways...perhaps he's speaking to you through this song--Jesus loves you:)

[Millymouse343]

@eracism09, I agree with you. God touches people in many different ways.

I hope that this song reaches out to her and she accepts the love that Jesus wants to give her!

[rusaldeanviney]

@alicetheactress

fantastic voice. great lyrics too.

sing someone else instead of jesus and join in;)

[kRazyyYyGirL]
