Absolutely mad! First time I heard it it sent shivers down my spine throughout. An extatic cathartic emotional frenzy which is bound to touch in some way everyone that listens to it. If you're left unmoved (in one way or the other) after listening to this song it means you have no soul.
I've never heard of Simon Finn playing in S.F.,CA, but if he ever did I would be one of the first to purchase tickets to hear and see him. This dude is brilliant.
I play this over and over.
Among his other songs but this just sticks out as if meant to be heard.
Yes, this is what is meant as well by: "Did he imagine at that moment, 200 million hypocrites would praise his name?" & "And were he now to come down, those hypocrites, they would cruxify him again!"
I dont think he's mocking Jesus, i think he's saying that organised religion misunderstands Jesus' message. The whole of the album this is on (which you NEED, by the way) has many references to Christianity, and not in a mocking way, in a very sincere and emotional way. The music itself is quite chaotic and i think that can throw you. Im an atheist btw so i have no reason to defend Jesus. Its just a great song by an amazing songwriter.
Great song... I feel the same way about Dragon ball Z YEAAAH shit man i love that shit Dragon Ball Z is why i get up man, Blindmonkey69 is right dragon ball z and wu tang 4 life 4 LIFE G YES
@InfrangibleChain What does anything have to do with anything? And if everything actually had something to do with something, what would the point be anyway? Why are we here? Is there really such a thing as meaning or coherence?
