THE CHURCH-MYRRH

Opening song from the church's classic 1986 album "Heyday",with some images,hope you enjoy and thanks for watching.

Emerald haunt in overdrive
Nightmare descent into Jericho city
Camel dust heralds our arrival
New Christ beneath the drumkit moon
Oh Lord we are threatened again
In the slipstream pull of the federal men
Plummet in some seamless night
Down here to earth it's hopeless then

Apache gunman in the boiling crowd
Who never got to meet you last time
We're interrupted by the telephone
You didn't think they were invented then
Oh Lord we need miracles
We need more wine and gold
We need slaves and roads and personal favors
We need microphones and manifolds

How can you be so invisible
Give me the nerves to see
Privilege on privilege
An unwanted discovery

So now we're cruising down this shuddering highway
With a dead sun shining on my back
And we talk about the way people treat us back there
Their hollow laughter, the pain in their eyes
Oh Lord I trust your intentions
But money strangles our love
Struggling like a fool with my junk and my jewels
You would have thought I'd had enough

How can you be so invisible
Give me the nerves to see
Privilege on privilege
An unwanted discovery

Thanks for the work in getting this video done.

Just bought the re-release of Heyday and had this wonderful song on heavy rotation.

I thought When you were Mine was magic but this is a different level again

Cheers

@VonSutho Wanna know the same thing...

[blarson12]

@reliabilityinmind Yeah the 80s were one of the best decades to be in.

[VonSutho]

Anyone ever figure out what this song actually means?

[hms2008g2011]

It is so mysterious that how the eastern doctors know where Jesus is about to born and presenting him their 3 gifts which representing all his life and value? By just observing the star? ? How they travel there?

[reliabilityinmind]

One of the 1st song of the Church I listened to (together with Night of Light and Tantalized..which tantalized and mesmerized me). I love them since then, mid 80's, with the very same sensations, love and appreciation

So good to hear this song again. Memories of driving along the deserted Australian coastline at sunset. Thanks for posting. :-)

[mozjedangi]
