18 People Didn't Want To Go To Sleep.

I'm a 24 year old man, without getting into the b.s of describing my masculinity, i will tell you:
"I have done some masculine things in life".
That being said, I cry sometimes when i hear this song, and i enjoy it so much.
-
amazing ... gives me chills everytime i hear this ... beautiful harmony and passion and the lyrics are simple yet profound (in my opinion anyways)
-
@RedJohnO22 Cheers, mite! i thought of african witchcraft and woodoo..

IMHO music is subjective and people in this day and age will make of one song something completely different from what it was ORIGINALLY ment to be, in this particular songs case I think of it as nothin more than a momma callin her man over after a hard day's work for some good ole fashioned love. *hot whistle* Xo

@koteshub Momma knows her man is soo tired that he'll lay himself down on the alabaster stones and pass out. So she's tellin him come on baby and do so and I'll make ya feel all right. :)

crying for my baby , the devil and me... all night long. so much tears ;(
-
LIKES!
wcpb - lay bones on alabaster stones?
-
Dark, but I much prefer that over the interpretation of the baby being sacrificed to Satan...that one just sounds silly.

@TheRichardWad The reason to equate it with "white gospel" hast to do with its music/arrangement and not with its text - gospel has more than one meaning and music is always ready to be used in any context human kind may like to use it. And for non-believers it makes not much difference to advocate for a supernatural being, whether it's of the bright or the dark side of non-natural worlds.

I sing this to my kids all the time, creepy or not (ever listen to the lyrics of many lullabies? Like Rock-a--bye baby?)...it's got the weirdest calming effect on them and they almost always fall asleep by the end of the song. I change the lyrics to "Your Daddy's gone away"....and "He's long gone with his combat boots on" since their dad is a Marine and is often gone on deployments. Glad to pass this on to my kids.
