i have a question Options

[gotigrz]

i think LIVE has the best sound out of any band that i've ever heard. with that being said.... what is ed singing about?

he sounds like he's pro-God, but maybe not so much of a Jesus fan. but, yet on his my space account he has Jesus as a hero of his.

also, in the video of selling the drama it shows ed ripping pages out of a book that, to me, looks like the Bible.

also, in the song operation spirit, he says that Jesus doesn't mean anything to him. is he saying that's the way he "was", and he's changed, or is that just the way he is?

i'm a Christian, and i can't help but let these questions run through my head. please someone enlighten me, thanks.

yes, but this whole thread is BECAUSE of the lyrics. i'm not a preacher... i don't work for the church.... i work a 40 hr/week job and just live a normal life, but i am a religous person and if anyone else here is too, then these questions have probably crossed your mind, also.

and sometimes i ask my self "why do i like LIVE so much"... is it the lyrics?..... no.... is it the music?.... yes.... but mostly i think it's the passion and soul ed puts in his efforts when he sings..... i just wish he sang about other stuff. oh well,... what are you gonna do...????

so, i ask anyone who wants to reply... would you still like LIVE if ed sang the same lyrics to a crappy tune or if he sang about "whatever" to the same tune?

it would be so great if live went back to writing music that meant something deep! they are such a great band and people should know more about them!

i don't understand that statement at all.... when did live stop singing about deep stuff? the only song off of sfbm that isn't deep is "home" and "sophia". which i don't understand why he wrote "home" anyway 'cause in his interview on the AWAKE cd he admits that he's not that good at writing songs about politics and should leave that to Rage Against the Machine.

i know i'm probably coming across as a LIVE hater, but i'm really not... they've been my favorite band since the first time i heard Selling the Drama, but i just wish i could go back and rock to their music w/o caring what it is that he's actually saying. but when you hear the same "message" in just about all his songs, you gotta wonder if it's healthy.
