I love most music. but one genre that i'm not crazy about is christian music. don't get me wrong, I don't hate christian music. i'm just not crazy about it.
however, of the christian music that I do like, I love.there are only a few songs that fall into this category, but I can say that they can easily be considered my all time favorites.
i heard the following song when I had uncharacteristically flipped the radio over to klove last fall.
i was at a very difficult and defining moment in my life, and I felt this song speak to me in such profound ways.
and since then, there is literally not a day that goes by that I do not listen to it.
one of my all time favorite artists is Jack Johnson. i love his music. and kane hates it. or so he says. he always rolls his eyes and comments on my "hippie music" but i know that he likes some of the songs.
this song, Cookie Jar, is one of my favorites.
read the lyrics:
"Cookie Jar"
I would turn on the TV but it's so embarrassing
To see all the other people I don't know what they mean
And it was magic at first when they spoke without sound
But now this world is gonna hurt you better turn that thing down
Turn it around
"It wasn't me", says the boy with the gun
"Sure I pulled the trigger but it needed to be done
Cause life's been killing me ever since it begun
You cant blame me cause I'm too young"
"You can't blame me sure the killer was my son
But I didn't teach him to pull the trigger of the gun
It's the killing on this TV screen
You cant blame me its those images he seen"
Well "You can't blame me", says the media man
Well "I wasn't the one who came up with the plan
I just point my camera at what the people want to see
Man it's a two way mirror and you cant blame me"
"You can't blame me", says the singer of the song
Or the maker of the movie which he based his life on
"It's only entertainment and as anyone can see
The smoke machines and makeup and you cant fool me"
