Day 28: A song that references religion/deity

 

[Bry1313]

Yeah, more 80’s glam pop

Day 28: A song that references religion/deity

Love these guys. This song made more sense after I spent some time living in Georgia. "Losing my religion" means getting supper pissed off, and losing that which keeps you civil. But "That's me in the corner/totally losing my shit" probably wouldn't have played as well on FM radio...

I love Johnny Cash's cover as well.

For my more cynical days. The song itself starts around the 5:24 mark.

Day 28: A song that references religion/deity

I'm sure that I've posted this before, because I love this version. It mentions the Lord, and Hallelujah, but it has always felt to me like a hymn to the diety of sorrow, of broken & lost love.

Hallelujah-Rufus Wainwright

Diety or lack thereof? Heaven is mentioned

Someone will get to “Jesus Christ Superstar”
and “Godspell”

I hear them as completely different songs. Jeff Buckley sounds like he's going through it, like it's a raw and open wound, and he longs for the person who caused it, to soothe it. While Wainright sounds like a sacred retrospective of something so holy he can't quite define it.

 

[Shady_nz]

Not sure if this qualifies...
AC/DC-Highway to Hell

Cash's American Recordings records are all amazing.

Bon Jovi: Living In Sin
I remember MTV made them edit the video or they were going to ban it.

FYI..Lacuna Coil does a really amazing cover of this song that I love almost more than the original version. Almost. They put a Heavy Metal spin on it. Also a European YouTube Musician names Leo does as well (he does a ton of covers).

Sing it Lzzy ... Has to be The Steeple..... It is Sinday

And then we have Leonard Cohen. ❤

I heard Buckley's first when I was going through it. It probably is my fave honestly.

It’s a fantastic song and most versions are very good. Won’t argue any of your opinions are wrong but my personal favorite is Leonard’s own. Helps that I did have the chance to see him do it live I suppose.

Totally justified. And Lucky you. I saw him do it live on television for the Olympics... does that count? shit, that was K.D. Lang. I can't remember where he sang it on tv.

 

[SalaciousMonkey22]

Of course. His magic comes through em waves!
