Eddie announced this song on Twitter referring to himself in the third person again. I listened to this song something like 10 times. I liked it better the first time than the next and I like it less every time I listen to it. At first the vocals sounded cool and I accepted the techno-Eastern vibe. But the more I listened to it, the less inspired it sounds. It is just a few lines that seem all too self-important repeated over and over again, sometimes with the "chorus of Eddies" that I dislike. I'm actually not that impressed and I think it is disappointing musically and melodically and somewhat disturbing lyrically.

I think Ed has become a crazy, ego-maniac, religious freak who has lost the ability to write songs.

A few days ago, he Twittered about finding the Lord. He's putting pictures of his kids on ground coffee, fleecing his audience with chatchkies, going on about Zion. He's taking pictures of himself naked and Twittering about naked jumping jacks and singing into his computer. I am totally freaked out by the EK. CT seems so cool by comparison.

I jotted down some lines from this song. I'm not sure I like the references to the gospel, Jews and Jewish Children (child of Zion), and what is going on with the Rise Up stuff. Is he calling for the conversion of Jews or something? WTF is going on?!?!

"Gospel in the churches, non one hears the sound."

"Rise up Child of Zion"

"18 years of strippen for the rent, come on out honey from that circus tent, you're a child of Zion fell asleep for awhile."

I like the Ed who questioned authority and absolute thinking better than the Eddie who has preached HIS truth on the last 3 or 4 albums.
