Voltaire - Oh Lord (Wake the Dead) OFFICIAL

[metavash]

"He's gonna get a mighty load of me when I sound off

In the way of kick right in his eye"

I now have the most awesome image in my head of Voltaire giving a Chuck Norris Roundhouse kick to a Jesus freak

VOLTAIRE RULES!

[heavy627]

Yo voltaire i think ur awsome i wonder if you can come to birmingham... thanxs.

[TheCountesscain]

please come to england

[Soal5367]

This is so amazing. It funny and tied to religion.

[tjl1297]

this song is awesome!

[putaface101]

duuuuude when are you coming back to chicago . we miss you !!!!!!!

[CloudTheBusterBlader]

Oh man, who knew that Voltaire would be so good at singing a spiritual? Best song of the Album.

[LegatoKnight]

Because I can't fathom any other way to pursue this; Among friends I had a random, and to us, revolutionary thought. Voltaire singing a medley of songs en-tandem with (if you've heard of them) The Jolly Rogers, a renn-fest frequenting pirate music band. I personally think anything from the To the Bottom of the Sea album.

[VivamusDraconem]

I'm Going to play this song as loud as I can till it wakes the dead!!

[demonjack123]

We make the world what it is =P and the kick to the eye part made me laugh.

[AmeldaVolvagia]

Ï wanna dance with this song but i don't really know how can i dance this XD ahh love it so much!

[OverachievedGamer]

It's nice to see there's somebody out there who is actually talented instead of using a computer for that.

[BloodyFatalis]

Voltaire, this son is my exact thoughts on religion in a nutshell. That you capture emotions in songs like this and do it some well is amazing and wonderful and is why I buy your albums and listen to your music.

[ChainedPhantom]

*lol* This song reminds me of "In a Handbasket" at the end of Ooky Spooky.

[RaineAtMidnight]

The priest with the Cadillac disliked this.

[oufaze]

WOW

This is just awsome and fantastic!

beautiful melody, great rythm, your amazing voice, the very-well written lyrics, I just listened to it now while I was reading the lyrics and I'm still shocked!

WOW.

[Roxashater3]

The part "Oh lord why won't you talk to me" is how i feel about god! thats awesome :D

[DystopianDino]

So much pathos in your music, my friend. The Cajun and swing influences, the powerful lyrics. Everything about it is great.

[bondaga100]

black unicorn looks cool :P VOLTAIRE!!!!!

[bondaga100]

i love VOLTAIRE's music :)

[NickasaurCiraci]

voltaire im a huge fan i know a couple songs of yours on guitar and your a huge inspiration to me but what guitar strings do you use? they have a thin sound not that think acoustic sound and i love the thin sound but i jus cant tell what it is

[2white2nerdii]

Man this song reminds me of when my parents sent me to Catholic School... if only this song had existed then.

[meintodestag]

OMG!! I love this song, sounds like Calloway, Corpse Bride, Mardi Gras and Day Of The Dead Together, I want buy the CD but I don't have credit card, you don't know were can buy the cd in Mexico?? I tried mixup, but no success in my search :'(

[3wingzblack]

@meintodestag I agree completely!

[BoredinaForest]

this song is fantastic. well structured and fun. and i quite like his vibrato in this it compliments the feel of the song so well

[TiiaSan]

Excuse me, sir, but if the album is released, is there any reliable place I can order it from to my country? You're not very well known here, so I could swear I cannot find your album anywhere in here, and trust me, I've tried to look for your other albums. So it would be nice to know if there's actually a place I can buy it since I really want to support you :)

[VoltaireMusicPage]

@TiiaSan Your best bet is to order it from CDbaby.com. The link is above .

[BullyMastMom]

Brilliant--as usual! ~Minnetta

[Deliqua1]

nooo not the top hat

[BenGabbay]

This hits the world's frustration spot-on. Any time I think about this kind of thing, I just remind myself that, despite how it looks, we've actually come a long way. The dark ages used to be a helluva lot worse. We live in heaven compared to the past.

[petergof242]

thanks for uploading sir. Is it possible to just donate somehow? I really do not want to buy songs for download, I'd rather listen them online

[VoltaireMusicPage]

@petergof242 Absolutely! You can always go send money via paypal to voltaire@voltaire.net Just be sure to mention that it's a donation. That's very kind of you to ask!

[icedragonxl4]

@VoltaireMusicPage I just wanted to ask, how long did it actually take you to come up with the ending, "People on the street" to "You should take a look around lord, your world is just the pits" part? It's my favorite part of the whole song and I find it amazing that someone can come up with a ending like that that fast and that amizingly good. Thanks, you're the greatest!

[VoltaireMusicPage]

@icedragonxl4 I wrote that on the spot.

[icedragonxl4]

@VoltaireMusicPage Damn! You really are a fantastic musician!!!!

[eight216]

@VoltaireMusicPage i have a question, are you religious and i don't mean that you subscribe to one particular religion because it doesn't seem like it from your music but im just asking what you do in fact believe

[icedragonxl4]

This is my favorite song for a two reasons: it's fun to sing, and IT'S SO FUCKING TRUE!!!!

[MrWallow7]

[truquests]

This is one of if not my favorite on the CD. It is brilliant!

[darksslayer]

in the 6:07 sounds a shut up

[RinaRaizel]

Genius. That's what this song is.

[BrecoL1]

I'm haunted by this song. Fuckin' awesome ;D

[Gholdman20]

Brought this song when it first came out on iTunes but it's just so catchy I can't help but drift back to it when casually browsing Youtube.

Love the chorus.

[CaptainPirateMonkey]

A bit New orleans jazz mixed with blues. I love it.

[TheScreamingCarrot]

People have been asking about genre... but in terms of style (Relating to tone colour, feel ect.) I would say this is Dixieland. Genre more applies to films and such.

[gabobluemoon]

haters gonna hate

[Togetchi123]

@gabobluemoon How can there be haters if a song has no dislikes?

[AhcriSlate]

What genre of music is this? It's great

[nosence54]

@AhcriSlate I've wondered that as well for some time now , and I've arrived to the conclusion that he's way past any single genre , Voltaire is unique onto what he does

at least that's what i think

[WYMIOCIONY]

@AhcriSlate I'd say it's Voltaire. Not any genre really, but still fucking awesome.

[themumbler11684]

Someone should make a dance to this, it would be great

[Dondurzan]

Same style of lyrics as "God hates", and I damn well love it!

[WYMIOCIONY]

Probably the best song I've ever heard.

[alolan98]

that unicorn dosent look too friendly...

[LPPokemonCrystal]

Besides Ridng a Black Unicorn, this is the best song :D
