Zion is a small reminder of how fucking talented Ed is.

P.S. I'm a dreamer... I hope that one day, Ed will come back to his true home: LIVE

QUOTE(FishOutaWater @ Nov 3 2011, 2:43 pm) *

Zion is an overtly Christian song. They all are on Alive. It takes all the mystery and fun out of it and reduces these songs to mission-styled, doctrinal preaching points. I don't like that. If Zion was a song about discovering "the one" in a desert, while getting fellatio in front of a fish on the banks of a river at the moment the world ends - then it might be something...


What has taken the mystery and fun out of his music is the LSD that he's been infected by. I really don't think it has anything to do with what he's singing about other than, because of the LSD, it just comes off as inauthentic, opportunistic, and formulaic.

I'd take this over anything on Alive, including Zion:
