Elvis Costello & Colored People / DC Talk

Perfect. SO perfect. Today, two songs for your aural arousal. First, Costello doing it the way only he can. Singing in first person, giving us the perspective of the court jester to the Absolute. Can I admit I identify with this song a bit? The best part is that massive fucking PAUSE. Big tacit gap. Very musical, and goes on long enough to make you think "oh, the song's over..." then no, it's not. And I love how he backs HIMSELF up on the chorus...

"now I'm dead, now I'm dead, now I'm dead"

Funny too, when he sings "there He was, on a waterbed, drinking a cola of a mystery brand / listenin' to Andrew Lloyd Weber's Requiem..." that's fucking funny, people.

Speaking of people. We are COLORED people. Yeah, would you BELIEVE that I have actually found a christian rock song I like? Yeah. It's corny, but I dig it. I can't believe I'm actually going to tell you to go to iTunes and buy a DC Talk song, but... It's a really good song. And I sing it, around the house and what not. "colored people and we live in a tainted place..." it's really good. It's literally the first Christian rock song I've ever heard that I liked. So, I'm converting from Buddhism to Christianity.

Just kidding. Heresy is my church, blasphemy my balm.
