What are you listening right now?

Listening to: Hero, by Skillet

Still one of my top favorite songs, even after two years.

Yes, it's to some extent hard rock, with the vocals alternating between male and female counterpoint (if this is the right term), and almost to the edge of screamo style in places, which lends itself particularly well to hard rock, or even in this song, gives it its hard rock edge. The hero in question would of course be interpreted by Christians to be the Lord Jesus, Who, the song says, dwells within (by His Spirit, understood) and gives the believer hope and has taken away the fear of death.

I can seen why you like it.

Blessings.

You guys talk so much about Skillet that I had to punch em up on youtube and listen to them. These guys rock! I'm listening to Awake and Alive right now...[Head bang smiley]

Is that a girl on the drums?

Edward: Yes, Skillet, and Christian hard rock/heavy metal has sometimes got some bold witness lyrics.

Thanks! :) I see the lyrics which you kindly posted (which also we discussed earlier) have summarized some of the lines which also include the word 'Oh' at various junctures. Anyway, it's certainly hard rock and the way it suddenly ends is effective, too.

I think the words in some ways would probably apply particularly to a sinner living in the lifetime on earth of the Lord Jesus, before He died at the Cross, with the Lord Jesus indicating His willingness to die for them.

Blessings.

Clannad--the palm of a tiny hand


This anime has such beautiful music, I gotta tell ya. I'm thinking I'm definitely going to buy the soundtrack sometime.

Yup.

I like to look up good English dubs of these songs sometimes. I sometimes memorize the English lyrics and sing along to the Japanese song in English. But if I could memorize the Japanese lyrics, how cool would that be? =D

Or maybe it's Irish she is singing? I think Clannad does sing in Irish in some of their tracks. Not sure.

Anyway, all I can say in Japanese is: Nihon-go ga wakarimasen ("I don't speak Japanese"....)

Blessings.

Well, there is an Irish singing group called Clannad. But this is the anime Clannad, which is Japanese.

That said, the name of the anime is apparently based on the Irish word for family.

So is Release the Panic the name of a track by Red, or is it a new album that they recently issued? You did mention something about a new release, I think.

Blessings.

It's the name of their new album, but it's also the name of the first track in that album.

I really like the way the chorus sounds on that one.
