...Vedder may have some spiritual leanings ("given to fly" for instance). But he's been confronting, challenging, and wrestling with the notion of m-y-t-h-s, gods, and religion for years and he still does.

...my comment got cut off.

But I was saying a song can be interpreted a number of ways, but "Santa god" is pbviously dealing with the concept of myths and religion and disappointment, on some level.

This is the antithesis to typical Xmas tunes like "Santa Claus is Coming to Town" or "Silent Night" for example.

@Ekyvvsaq. I'm not telling anyone what to think, just what I think thus song means. Don't tell me what "Faithfull" means or doesn't mean until you read "Ishmael", the novel that inspired much of Yield's lyrics, especially "Faithfull".

Eddie has never been afraid to tell people how he thinks and what he believes. I don't think he's "grown past" anything.

It's foolish to say the people who disliked this song are "Muslims". That's what I'm saying. It, like many songs, can be interpreted a numb

@tripcirclefilms Also I think @Udovica70 said what he/she said because muslims doesnt celebrate christmas.

[Ekyvvsaq]

@tripcirclefilms Yes there could be christians, but its not anti-myth. Eddie has grown past the state where he tells people what to think and so should you! He has often spoken about a belief in something bigger. Faithfull is not anti-religion, its not a political song, its about humans.And its absolutely not anti-christmas, I think its more about childhood memories, like Let Me Sleep, but less depressing. Listen to the lyrics to "I'm Open" if you dont believe me.

"3 Muslims dislike this song". What are you people effing idiots?? It could be Xtians for all you know who disliked it. CLEARLY, this is an anti-religion, anti-myth song. Next to "Faithfull", this is probably the most atheistic song PJ has ever written. (Which is why I like it). This is more of an Anti-Christmas song than a Christmas song. The analogy between god and Santa is pretty painfully obvious, no? It's right in the effing title.
