[late evening listening] two halves - part one

From the Titanic Captain [The Economic Voice]:



"The video is by Soul Savers, it is an ambiguous song that one would think is a Christian Gospel hymn by a quick listen which it may have aspects of but the cleverness of the simplistic lyrics shows that there is far more to this song than just praise the lord...infact it doesn't say praise the Lord at all but it is reminiscent of King David's psalms where he is crying out to God and questioning his existence....Many things can be read into this piece of music and video.

There is a journey within scenes cutting back to previous events in the main characters life that suggest a dark journey and searching for redemption. That redemption is the main ambiguous question. Does he seek redemption from a woman or from God or Both? his sins are briefly mapped out in the video.....Oh I don't bloody know but its a great song and Video so please enjoy."
