I recall going to see Godspell when I was 13,with a school party.I was mesmerised,the one time I actually concentrated on something.And this was back in the '70s when it was considered 'girly' for a young teen boy to be interested in any musical production,lol.We'd come down from 't'north' to London to see it & had the best time,even getting to go up on stage during the interval to meet the London cast.I treasured my copy of the original cast on vinyl but it's all scratched & worn now.
Still and always will be inspiring and I hate to differ with bxbuff, but some people still live that way, all with reality setting the stage and providing the foundations.
You would think that they would try and keep "Godspell" videos up on YT, since the play, "Godspell," is being being rehearsed for a revival on Broadway right now (Oct., 2011).
For those too young to remember, during those tumultuous 1960s, there were actually young people who thought that they could live, 'day by day,' like the characters in the movie: wearing colorful clothes and painting vacant buildings. Unfortunately, they found out it couldn't be done when reality set it.
emmm question i posted some clips from godspell and all of them got blocked for copyright wtf how does this clip pass through youtube. its out of order...
Check out my daughter's video @ GodSpell - Bless the Lord My Soul - Samantha Marie Migneault . For some reason I'm not able to attach her video here as a response. Thanks
@kblacklabel RIP Godspell cast members; David Haskell, Lynne Thigpen, Merrell Jackson, and Jeffrey Mylett - thank you for sharing your talents with us
alot of the times ive gotten the dvds of this i worn it out 2 timz lol i luv this to death litterally and im only 12. and 11 of these pple dnt luv The Lord Jesus as much as we do!!!
this is the one song that drove my mom crazy cause i guess they sang it like every sunday at the church she went to in the 70's. i guess she just got tired of it but i like it.
People say they want a remake of this movie. Why? Its perfect as it is now. Seeing Jesus in an Afro, funny makeup, a superman shirt, and clown shoes is a great way to show children how great he is. I wouldn't change it for the world
my god i told you all his tounge flashes a fork at about 3:16 in the Video (i am sure someone alterd it and did not appear in the original film) but again its there at the very end look carefully as robin comes up behind mim and toi his right and he turns his head, at the end watch it for yourself just dont dismiss.
@bassdoggy1 I think the 70s were pretty cool or groovy. I was born in 1989, I'm an 80s child; I'm as 1980s as high top sneakers and hair metal and st elmos fire; but I've read and seen alot about and caught up with the 70s so to speak and it's pretty cool; ironically, my mom lived through the 70s, and most of the pop culture references that I talk about, she's never even heard of it before. Not bad for an 80s child, huh?
@thehoosierfortheUK ... You were born the same year as my son...I was a teen in the 70's, it was ok I guess.. I always wished I were a teen in the 50's like my mom... and it goes on....
This Godspell mocks the real Jesus Christ - Yeshua Messiah and was part of the plan to convince the World that Satan doesnt exisit - if he didnt then why the occult rituial practice in Hollywood/music industry? , Jay Z and the top of the Rap Industry, and Rock - ok they the real haters using lies to manipulate minds and gain earthly power - dont be fooleod this shit is transparently a peacefreaky marxist far left secular Christians in paticular hating brainwash.
@jamesleeland1 My friend, Yeshua Messiah used parables to teach the truth. As does this movie (and more importantly the Play that preceeded it.) The power of God made manifest in man. The idea that salvation comes from God and not the sacrifices made by priests. The idea that to love and treat others as yourself is the highest form of Loving God. A lesson perhaps, you may have lost along the way. :Peace out

Oh My God - I kind of suspected that maybe this stuff had to be something like a Satanic twist of the real message - this shit is just too creepy - but check this out! Did anyone see the forked tounge that the Jesus Freak who is Posing as Jesus flashes at 3:19 in this video?? Its definetly there it took a few minutes but I have the video paused there rite now - Its not a human tounge and is definetly forked this shit is twisted I knew it
@jamesleeland1 I can't tell if you're joking or you're just plain silly in the head!
First "cant stop watchng it", then you bash it calling it "creepy" and "satanic" ect, then you defend it saying "its a great song i cant stop listening to it".
And that "Jesus Freak who is Posing as Jesus" is what you call and actor (they tend to do that, act like other people on film). Victor Garber is his name in fact. The Music Man, Milk, Legally Blonde, Sleepless in Seattle, Titanic... ever heard of em?
This brings me back to the commune as a child in the mid seventies. Werid Freaky People then - kinda weired now but a great soing i cant stop watchng it
@catcheez I also remember singing this in public school.if you asked a kid to sing this now days they would look at you like you were crazy.what a shame the way this world is heading.
I grew up in a pentecostal inspired household, but as much rhetoric that I heard from various ministers/preachers, nothing matched the simple message that this song conveys. To this day, this song comforts me in bad and good times, and keeps me optimistic for the future in these uncertain times :D
I wonder if you could combine bot JCSS and GODSPELL. Instead of clowns, they could stay as philosophers . Starting with, " Tower of Babble" going to "prepare ye" then "Day by Day" Judas goes off starting to doubt things and sings, " To much Heaven on their minds " Then they cast sings, " Day by Day" followed by Jesus meeting Mary M. " She sings, "by my side" and then sings, " Turn back oh man" Jesus teaches her love, but she doubts it and she sings, " I don't know how to love him "
@Tom6093 That's a start - that's great! Keep moving on that - when you do, you'll soon find that your actions are quite different then they used to be - and what beauty will result. Now, that's something to marvel over!
it's a real shame so many seem to take offense at the portrayal of Jesus as a hippie.it's not blasphemous or suggesting he does drugs.The premise is,if Jesus came to earth in 70's US,what would he be like?Who would he seek as disciples?Jesus was a revolutionary of his day.He spoke against the pharisees who pretended to be righteous.Of course he would seek out young people,not jaded by the world.By placing Jesus in the modern world,it makes what he did more real.They'd be emo or punks today.
@GirlzPowa: I'm an atheist, saw Superstar, no big deal. Saw Godspell by the San Bernardino Civic light Opera in '74. Dang, it was good. So kick butt , take names, you'll do good, it a great story
One of my favorite songs of all time! I remember hearing it as a 9 year old back in 1972 on Top 40 stations in Southern California. Now if it were to be played on a top 40 station today, the ACLU would have a hissy fit and try to ban it from the airwaves. I say to the various oldies stations across the country: Go ahead and play it! That was a huge hit in the early 70s! Go for it!
Greg would you like to say grace? Oh uh well Gregs Jewish dad. You're telling me that Jews don't pray, hunny? Unless you have some objection. No no no I'd love to; Pam it's not like Im a Rabi or something, I said grace at many a dinner tables....Oh dear lord three things we pray to love thee more dearly to see thee more clearly, to follow thee more nearly.
Who can not love this new take on the lord?Suspenders,a superman shirt,& an afro!!!!All them bible thumpers seem to forget,this reaches the ones they probably never would in their straight laced,straight from the alter manner!
I was in a high school theater group with Michael, who authored this play for his master's thesis at Carnegie. Many of the humorous bits evolved out of the improv group we were in. He was a genius at 18, and died far too soon. It was magic seeing this as it was being created. I miss him. So nice to see this, again.
@ryoushii - good point, to be sure. Please also consider that Jesus came for us sinners, messed up people who need love, appreciation, acceptance - and to learn how to love, appreciate others and accept as Jesus did. Church is a hospital, not a country club... though some Christians do treat it like an exclusive club, unfortunately. But we're not all like that...
@ryoushii so the quot means worry about yourself and your own self being before you dictate someone's life? or instead of worrying about other's problems?
@TheRaizen33 it means don't try to help others when your own life is in a worse situation. Don't try to help your friend get out of a $1000 debt when you are in one for $100,000... It will be easier to help your friend once you are in a better situation
@ryoushii excellent point! But hopefully, you practice those teachings rather than just respecting them. I've learned that it isn't enough just to respect them.
@ryoushii excellent point! But hopefully, you practice those teachings rather than just respecting them. I've learned that it isn't enough just to respect them. God will take care those "fans".
I love the music and movie.. yes jesus looks like a child molester and a clown.. but it's someones point of view... some people like it and some don't.. so deal with it
This movie is sick. Sacriligous to the extremes. My drama is doing part of Godspell and I'm not too happy about it. It makes a joke out everything. Jesus is not some clown. He is our LORD. Maker of the universe, the Author of our lives. Not some clown in a superman shirt. I can not watch this and not feel awful. THis makes Christianity to be a joke... Ugh this makes me so sick, and I know it makes God sick.
@saxxxophonee I'm a christian too and i very much enjoy godspell. Don't take offence to it :) I can see why you take offence to it but I think it is an amazing "modern" adaption of Jesus.
I'm not a conspiracy nut or anything..but for fun i like to watch videos dealing with such things. I couldn't believe that this movie, "Godspell" was on part 20 of "911 Hidden in Hollywood". some conspiracy people have mentioned the WTC was built to be destroyed. Bult in '73, Columbia Pictures released "Godspell" in '73. Watch the first 2 parts of "911 Hidden in Hollywood" and then watch part 20 which features this film "Godspell". crazy world we live in, but conspiracies are fun to hear
well, thats one of the great things about art, some people are moved by it and others are not. keep searching and you will find something more to your liking. Peace!
it just doesn't read well. Perhaps you should have written it this way...." Wow, your school is teaching you how to spell very well."...but you wrote that "you're school" meaning "you are school" "is teaching you spelling very good"..that is poorly written.
lol, i don't know that any atheists "hate" me, but I get your point. I was once like that myself but by the grace of God....well... you know the rest of the story!
I have 2 brothers who cannot speak to me. I'm 58 years old...One is a Christian, for over 30 years. The other, a "Flower Child."
I confronted them both with their addictions, and told them to cut the shit (repent,) or I didn't want anything to do with them...Well, when the phone don't ring, I know who it is.
The "Christian" is an anarchist and FEELS that Evilboosh may have had something to do with 911...Cukoo, Cukoo..Evil is a type of insanity..
i saw this back in the 70s, loved it then. and here we are nearly 40 years later,having not learnt anything.i despair at mankind .anyway here i am in my 50s with 4 kids and a larger belly. and i love this even more, love and peace
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
The Lyrics to this song must have been written by a Drunken Monkey sitting at a typewriter ! Just complete repetition of a chorus does NOT a good song make ! JC Superstar Kicks Godspell's ass !
the music was done by Stephen Schwartz and as a Wicked and Godspell fan, I must say that I highly disagree. The reason that it is repeated is that more and more people catch on to what is going on. The way that we did in a show I was in was have one soloist sing the first part and then have 2 more split the second and the rest the company come in and walk around in groups to show how that we wanted to see Him more clearly, love Him more dearly and follow Him more nearly day by day.
And their damned self-sustainable utopia...

I was in a high school theater group with Michael, who authored this play for his master's thesis at Carnegie. Many of the humorous bits evolved out of the improv group we were in. He was a genius at 18, and died far too soon. It was magic seeing this as it was being created. I miss him. So nice to see this, again.

Too bad more christians don't really listen to the lyrics here.
Sort of a nicer version of 'take the bloody great log out of your own eye before worrying about the splinter in someone else's'
And if you need to have that explained, well, you're why I respect the teachings of Jesus while holding most of his 'fans' in contempt.
ryoushii 2 years ago 42
@ryoushii - good point, to be sure. Please also consider that Jesus came for us sinners, messed up people who need love, appreciation, acceptance - and to learn how to love, appreciate others and accept as Jesus did. Church is a hospital, not a country club... though some Christians do treat it like an exclusive club, unfortunately. But we're not all like that...

@ryoushii so the quot means worry about yourself and your own self being before you dictate someone's life? or instead of worrying about other's problems?
TheRaizen33 11 months ago
@TheRaizen33 it means don't try to help others when your own life is in a worse situation. Don't try to help your friend get out of a $1000 debt when you are in one for $100,000... It will be easier to help your friend once you are in a better situation

@ryoushii excellent point! But hopefully, you practice those teachings rather than just respecting them. I've learned that it isn't enough just to respect them.

This movie is sick. Sacriligous to the extremes. My drama is doing part of Godspell and I'm not too happy about it. It makes a joke out everything. Jesus is not some clown. He is our LORD. Maker of the universe, the Author of our lives. Not some clown in a superman shirt. I can not watch this and not feel awful. THis makes Christianity to be a joke... Ugh this makes me so sick, and I know it makes God sick.

@saxxxophonee I'm a christian too and i very much enjoy godspell. Don't take offence to it :) I can see why you take offence to it but I think it is an amazing "modern" adaption of Jesus.

I'm not a conspiracy nut or anything..but for fun i like to watch videos dealing with such things. I couldn't believe that this movie, "Godspell" was on part 20 of "911 Hidden in Hollywood". some conspiracy people have mentioned the WTC was built to be destroyed. Bult in '73, Columbia Pictures released "Godspell" in '73. Watch the first 2 parts of "911 Hidden in Hollywood" and then watch part 20 which features this film "Godspell". crazy world we live in, but conspiracies are fun to hear

The song is actually from the prayer of St. Richard of Chichester:
Thanks be to Thee, my Lord Jesus Christ
For all the benefits Thou hast given me,
For all the pains and insults Thou hast borne for me.
O most merciful Redeemer, friend and brother,
May I know Thee more clearly,
Love Thee more dearly,
Follow Thee more nearly.

it just doesn't read well. Perhaps you should have written it this way...." Wow, your school is teaching you how to spell very well."...but you wrote that "you're school" meaning "you are school" "is teaching you spelling very good"..that is poorly written.

@boomac62 Boom, you are jousting with an atheist, who HATES you. What he/she is condending with, is "diabolical confusion."
Beauty is repugnant to him/her. He/she would rather dither about spelling and syntax and your IQ.
Ted Kaczynsky the serial killer, is a tragic hero, to many on the left.
Can't remember the guy's name who blew up the building in Oklahoma City...He's SATAN, to these geeks. Keep the FAITH. God bless, Merry Christmas!

Boom,
I have 2 brothers who cannot speak to me. I'm 58 years old...One is a Christian, for over 30 years. The other, a "Flower Child."
I confronted them both with their addictions, and told them to cut the shit (repent,) or I didn't want anything to do with them...Well, when the phone don't ring, I know who it is.
The "Christian" is an anarchist and FEELS that Evilboosh may have had something to do with 911...Cukoo, Cukoo..Evil is a type of insanity..

The Lyrics to this song must have been written by a Drunken Monkey sitting at a typewriter ! Just complete repetition of a chorus does NOT a good song make ! JC Superstar Kicks Godspell's ass !
CplWoods 2 years ago
the music was done by Stephen Schwartz and as a Wicked and Godspell fan, I must say that I highly disagree. The reason that it is repeated is that more and more people catch on to what is going on. The way that we did in a show I was in was have one soloist sing the first part and then have 2 more split the second and the rest the company come in and walk around in groups to show how that we wanted to see Him more clearly, love Him more dearly and follow Him more nearly day by day.
