Religious music for less than devout
We have a thread " Jazz for someone who doesn’t like jazz. " In a similar vein perhaps "Religious music for the less than devout".
"people get ready" - Rod Stewart
"Amazing Grace" - Jessye Norman
2009 "Duets" - Five Blind Boys of Alabama, The - entire CD
1988 "Sweet Fellowship" - Acappella, the entire CD
In 1989 I was working in NJ, I may have been the only guy on the job who did not know he was working for the Irish Mafia. I would lend people the CD "Sweet Fellowship" and they were willing to pay for it but never return it:
"Here is $20 kid, go buy yourself another cuz youz can’t have mine back. Now don’t ever ask me again."

Here’s a surprise to many. "After Forever" , Black Sabbath - Master Of Reality https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TSF3HviqlPk Lyrics https://genius.com/Black-sabbath-after-forever-lyrics |
@jpwarren. What I understand Lennon to be saying is that the world would be a better place without the concepts/beliefs in God, hell or heaven. While religion associated with those beliefs have surely been a source of trouble and suffering in the world, they have also been a source of many many good things. And the 20th century has also given ample evidence that the abandonment of those beliefs has not ushered in any sort of improvement. Anyway, probably not the right place for this discussion. I just thought some of the themes expressed were ironic.....much like Alanis Morrisette's examples of irony......none of which were ironic. ;-) |
And in the category of Christian themes without overt lyrics, Tonio K. Another Christian busting his hump in the industry. His best were the releases Notes From the Lost Civilization, and 'Ole. An excellent lyric word smith. Check out The Executioner's song; The monster walked out of the garden https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4N9D7sHYTEk |
