Song

I would say that my musical taste is very eclectic, but as far as an artist that makes you think you can't really beat Brett Dennen. While I wouldn't exactly call his lyrics Christian, they have an overall message that i think we all need to hear. A couple of these lines expecially strike me, one being "I wonder how so many can be in so much pain, while others don't seem to feel a thing." This interests me because it makes me question whether or not we should or do care for people enough.

The other verse that interests me is the last. I think that he is trying to say something about the consumerism that seems to....consume(?) Americans today. This is an issue that i somewhat agree with; but also, I believe that it sometimes gets blown way out of proportion. I think that at some point all of us will need to just lay down and stare a hole in the sky wondering where we go when we die. Now that is not to say that we're all going to become non-Christians and turn away from our faith. But i do believe that everyone needs to think about what exactly they believe. I think this song is pretty darn fantastic!

When I heard the news, my heart fell on the floor.
I was on a plane on my way to Baltimore.
In these troubled times it's hard enough as it is.
My soul has a known a better life than this.
I wonder how so many can be in so much pain, while others don't seem to feel a thing.
Then I curse my whiteness and I get so damn depressed.
In a world of suffering,why should I be so blessed?

I heard about a women who lives in Colorado.
She built a monument of sorts behind the garage door,
where everyday she prays for all whom are born
and all whose souls have passed on.
Sometimes my trouble gets so thick, I can't see how I'm gonna get through it.
But, then I'd rather be stuck up in a tree then be tied to it.

There is so much more.

I don't feel comfortable with the way my clothes fit.
I cant get used to my bodys limits.
I got some fancy shoes to try and kick away these blues.
They cost a lot of money but they arent worth a thing.
I wanna free my feet from the broken glass and concrete.
I need to get out of this city.
Lay upon the ground stare a hole in the sky,wondering where I go when I die
