The Middle East Jesus Came To My Birthday Party

[frans1012]

omg people it was a exchange student from mexico who was named jesus for god sakes shut the fuck up there is nothing religious about this song, the artist also claimed he didnt believe in gods or a god

[Sandalsote]

I think there may have been drugs at this birthday party.

It explains everything

[7justwatching]

Jesus rules :) XD



[pianoplayo]

One non-christian individual has listened to this

[CATALlZE]

@pianoplayo no, several have.

[tiarahenry1]

jesus was a real person, as to whether he was the son of a divine being, i dont think so. this song is pretty much rubbish

[parix78]

I've just heard on Guy Garvey's show that they're splitting up. What a shame.

[TheCarpecarp]

1 guy doesn't believe in birthday parties.

[zbridgjpxupzm]

do they really have any association with The Middle East, or is it just to attract attention?

[Insomniac618]

This proves that Jesus came to her 17th birthday party, but hasn't been around to see her in a while. And also that she moved to the city. And now I can relax to a brilliant new song I heard on the radio in lab. Life.

[xSUPERxGTx]

Absolutely awesome track!!

[cdvshort]

OMG I loved it!!!!!!!! I can't wait to work on the video for this song!!!!!!!! YES, YES

[Lullzki]

The Middle East "Jesus Came To My Birthday Party" is featured on Indie/Rock Playlist: June (2011) theindierockplaylistdotcom

[MrBencousins]

Its a true story about when one of the band members was younger and a Mexican kid named Jesus came to their birthday party.

[amfrow]

@MrBencousins haha its not like triple j mentioned that every 2 hours when it was feature album.

[frans1012]

who gives the crap about what there saying omg listen to the fucking music its beyond amazing

[SuperLollylegs]

Jesus is a young Mexican boy named Jesus

[TR18T]

@SuperLollylegs yeah kassemg interviewed him.

[lwmodonnell]

best debut album in a long time

[110yo]

This song is great. Isn't it about a suicide or a death when the boy was only 17 ?

[Toyboy789]

Who's this Jesus bloke anyway????



[ajsplyne1]

i recently found jesus "he was hiding behind the couch the whole time"

[2010jcu]

jesus was my stalker :-P actually miss him a bit;) happy easter everyone!

[BringReiTheHorizon]

i love this. i love the middle east. i love everything about them. i think they are my all time favourite everything! band/colour/food/drink/EVERYTH­ING!

[Firstriver333]

Let's just rewind back to this song, play it in our heads again not think upon the matter of if it proves Jesus exists, if it doesn't, the conflict that the name may or may not ensue; it's all about the music guys.

[SachalKhan]

And you lads shouldn't be ripping on this because it's a different sound to their other songs. They have three songwriters. They play different moods of music - it's not unheard of - and pull it off in an awesome fashion.

[arifriedgut]

Oh, so he has time to go to HER birthday party....

[MissCasCas94]

@arifriedgut hahahahah!

[dainton87]

These guys are fricken awesome, I hate their name sounds like bin laden or something, but love their music!

[deathbeforelaceX]

@dainton87 yes, the entire middle east is bin laden. that's very tolerant of you.

[SachalKhan]

@dainton87 Your ignorance renders you unworthy of their music.

Jokes, just go learn a bit about the globe.

[lOlCaTz911]

i wish jesus came to my birthday party

[Dorz101]

Such a gorgeous song!

[THFCWeHateArsenal]

anyone know if they have an album coming out soon?

[vieires]

@THFCWeHateArsenal Fair chance they do if they're releasing singles. Cant wait!

[jiggadywig]

@THFCWeHateArsenal Yep. Sure do.

[Crowedoggs]

the middle east are pure quality

[melbose]

booh yeah I was wanting this on youtube when it first came out so i could chill to this should of been in the top 20 on triple j's hottest 100

[gocrows]

love the middle east...my GF can't work out why, but I think they are rad!

[MsChocolate333]

Love love love this tune!!! However much different to their other songs...thoughts??

[GHD1215]

Saw them at On the Bright Side in Perth 2010 AMAZING definitely one of my favorite Aussie bands

[Peaceriver47]

So much love for this band and so much love to Triple J bringing them to us all . Kingsmill is nothing short of the most influential (and best) Australian

[snowkittin1]

reminds me of Nirvana's jesus dont wont me for a sun beam

[missuz44]

Absolutely love this song!! Raw, honest, beautiful, talented musicians, wicked solos, what more could you want?

[lukeylolkirsty]

this proves the exsitence of jesus

[AsicUNT]

@lukeylolkirsty

and you didn't pass primary school

[lukeylolkirsty]

@AsicUNT

im an Asian crab sales man with 17 different types of dementia. no i dident pass primary school.

[4teacher4]

@lukeylolkirsty Rubbish! Proves nothing. Although it's a brilliant song

[bladybrunch]

@4teacher4 cool your jets, no need to get all annoying about jesus

[danielbmarques]

@4teacher4 There may be a lot of uncertainties regarding who he was and what he meant, but I think Jusus' existence is pretty much established.

[4teacher4]

@danielbmarques Nah...just a fairy tale written down in a book. Cinderella is a written text...did she exist? Still fail to see how this song proves Jesus' existence...

[danielbmarques]

@4teacher4 Well, I think Flavius Josephus is a little more reliable than the brothers Grimm (historically, of course). Some guys think Shakespeare never existed, though (Google "Shakespeare authorship question"). Go figure. There actually might be less evidence for Shakespeare than for Jesus... but whatever.

Don't get me wrong; I'm an atheist. Jesus may have been just some carpenter, but thinking that he never existed without some serious basis is rather silly.

[4teacher4]

@danielbmarques Still missing the whole point of what started this discussion; how someone can say a song proves the existence of Jesus is beyond me. Utter nonsense.

[danielbmarques]

@4teacher4 Agreed.

[ASTEagle]

@lukeylolkirsty song is actually about a mexican boy coming to the dudes party. they even said so on an interview

[lukeylolkirsty]

@ASTEagle

..........and this Mexican man is Jesus?

[ASTEagle]

@lukeylolkirsty yes. Jesus is a very common name in spanish speaking countries. hey dont shoot the messenger its just what they said on the interview.

[lukeylolkirsty]

@ASTEagle

ok Mr. serious

[pinertj]

this was awesome at falls yewwwwww got in my top 10 hottest 100

[alexorwhatever]

This is totally different from The Middle East I know. I'm dissapointed.

[AwsmPntsAlchmst]

@alexorwhatever I know what you mean. I was expecting heavenly acoustic work. Im unsure if i like this or not

[hej0mia]

this is awesome :)

[TheCarpecarp]

So so catchy. Awesome guitar soloing.

[KingoftheRodeo3]

They rock bananabread - spesh when supporting The National

[lunelo36]

anybody else hear zane lowe play this??

[jenniferlopez72]

this is fucking good
