http://alttheology.blogspot.com/2008_09_01_archive.html
Theology and 80s alternative. Thursday, September 11, 2008. Life's What You Make It. Here is a song that was somewhat popular during the 80s but not for the contemplative lyrics. BabyLife's what you make it - can't escape it. BabyYesterday's favourite - don't you hate it? There are two ways to look at this song. And two ways to address this song. 1st The Zig Ziglar Mentality. The Biblical Response to this: Matthew 6:30-34. You of little faith! Do not worry then, saying, 'what will we eat? This song could...

Sweetness, sweetness, I was only joking when I said I'd like to smash every tooth in your head Sweetness, sweetness, I was only joking when I said by rights you should be bludgeoned in your bed. And now I know how Joan of Arc felt, Now I Know how Joan of Arc felt, As the Flames rose to her Roman nose And her Walk-man started to melt. These lyrics are bemoaning the fact that someone's mouth ...

Theology and 80s alternative. Wednesday, September 26, 2007. THE SINKING FEELING (lyrics). Click on the title to be linked to hear a sample of the song). All my books lay on the table Waitin' to unfold. I sit and stare at my reflection While the darkness chills my bones. My head fills like a junk shop In desperate need of repair. The path of least resistance Leads to the garbage heap of despair. I think I'd better get back in bed). You can't destroy your problems By destroying yourself. The chorus is pre...

Theology and 80s alternative: Depeche Mode

Theology and 80s alternative. Wednesday, January 9, 2008. Walking In My Shoes. Click on song title to hear a sample). This band is borderline new wave and alternative. Depeche mode has been around for a long number of years but I was thinking about one of there songs just recently. Therefore, I thought I would review one of their songs and see how it lines up theologically. I would tell you about the things they put me through. The pain I've been subjected to. But the Lord himself would blush. Now I'm no...

But maybe this time I can't come back Because I might be too far down. I wish for real. That I could turn it on and off. Like hot and cold and up and down. Because I'm down again I'm too far down. I couldn't begin to smile. Because I can't even laugh or cry Because I just can't do it. If it was so easy to be happy Why am I so down? Well, c...

Theology and 80s alternative. Thursday, May 22, 2008. Click on title to hear samples). The Cocteau Twins is definitely an alternative group from the 80's that isn't being copied anymore. I think the unique vocal harmonies from this girl group plus the highly synthisized sound was what made me listen. I don't remember thinking so much about the words as much as enjoying the sound of their group. Does that sound strange? Maybe not so much, when I began to let you in on a secret. It don't have to be too goo...

Theology and 80s alternative. Tuesday, November 13, 2007. What about the theology in any of their songs? Here is a song that many will recognize but few may know the full lyrics:. Use your own strength to make it through "hold on, hold on". Rely on your friends to help you in the struggle. This is a very humanistic solution to handling pain and struggle in this world. What does God say? The Christian has a source to overcome the rough times in life. The Lord Jesus Christ is our true place of comfort beca...
