Finding God In The Music | 2023: The Walk Home

August 6, 2023 • Brian Zahnd

The Walk Home

Young the Giant

Is anyone out there listening?

I've lost myself

Deep in the algorithm of someone else

And under new conditions

I might find that I was always perfectly alone

Can somebody walk me home?

To pearly gates

The universe becomes a wave

And crashes down

Forever's not enough

And under new conditions

You are not alone

Can somebody walk me home?

Is anyone out there listening?

I've lost myself

But there is a sound that echoes like morning bells

And as a distant memory shoots right through me

I am left so perfectly alone

Can somebody walk me home?

To pearly gates

The universe becomes a wave

And crashes down

Forever's not enough

And under new conditions

We are not alone

And when I get better someday

I'll see myself in you

The way it's always been

And under new conditions

I might find that

We will always walk each other home

Can somebody walk me home?

Finding God In The Music | 2023: Seven Psalms: The Lord

September 3, 2023 • Brian Zahnd

Seven Psalms: The Lord Paul Simon I've been thinking about the great migration Noon and night they leave the flock And I imagine their destination Meadow grass, jagged rock The Lord is my engineer The Lord is the earth I ride on The Lord is the face in the atmosphere The path I slip and I slide on A crystal comet Starlit night Silver moon To smooth the edge of daylight Now turned the evening rose Tribal voices Old and young Celebrations A history of families sung The endless river flows The Lord is my engineer The Lord is the earth I ride on The Lord is the face in the atmosphere The path I slip and I slide on The Lord is a virgin forest The Lord is a forest ranger The Lord is a meal for the poorest of the poor A welcome door to the stranger

Finding God In The Music | 2023: Monsters

August 20, 2023 • Brian Zahnd

Monsters Dave Matthews Band Broke old toy soldiers lined up one, two, three Little kid and everything I did just to save my paper queen 'Cause love won't let me go Yeah, no army's gonna save my soul 'Cause love won't let me go Nothing in the closet Nothing underneath the bed Just the monsters in your head I hear strange voices at every step I take No, you can't cross the ocean if you can't get past the break Even if fear don't put you down Won't you lean on me while I'm around Oh, no rope to hang the dead No line to save the drowning man Just the monsters in your head Nothing in the closet Nothing underneath the bed Just the monsters in your head See killer's eyes and painted faces The Devil wants your soul, but Jesus saves Traffic jam is an angry maze The Devil wants your soul, but Jesus saves Chutes and ladders, pick-up sticks Counting cars and counting bricks Driving past the ol' five-and-dime Can't get nothin' for a nickel since a long, long time I won't let you down Nothing in the closet Nothing underneath your bed Just the monsters in your head No rope to hang the dead No line to save the drowning man Just the monsters in your head Love won't let you go Love won't let you go
