Our teacher played this song at school - at a time (ca, 1982) when I was more or less derisive and down on just about anything religious. Yet this song touched me deeply and I couldn’t believe that a religious song would have such an impact on me.
I really wanted to have access to this song and bought it and it happened to be the very first record I bought myself. I was about 16 years of age and it was still a couple of years before I started to seriously contemplate the possibility of a higher connection but I sang along with it many many times and always felt so elevated by it.
At around 18 I was open enough for an experience that allowed me to access the tentative possibility of a higher connection but I also felt the need to hyper- hide that search. Hide “God” like a shameful secret - being all cool and dismissive on the outside and trying to protect and cherish this little “God seed” out of sight from all the (often very well-meaning) “divinity deniers”.
I am not so much trying to draw attention to the singer than the authentic sounding song that seems as fresh as every new day.

Gentle music.
Remind me to show you how we dance on that music around here, it's called "changing lightbulbs", lol
Although the lyrics and music can be very dark, I find it interesting that if you don't take the lyrics literally, I get the impression that the beliefs of this reality are so sick that practically at one point or another the soul cries out to wake up to the darkness, I get the impression that when you live in the lies of this world, it's like being dead in some sense.
Then you cry out for that necessary death to give way to a new life, not of this world, but towards the spiritual. I found this video allusive to this idea, in addition to the war issue we are currently in.

Well, I am reading through C transcripts online from the last 10 years catching up on things, after bringing myself back up to speed rereading High Strangeness and Secret History of The World. 
After I catch up, I plan to re-read the Wave series that is kind of winking at me from my bookshelf.
When doing focus work like this, I set up my music to play alpha binaural beat music tracks as I found I can smoothly accelerate information intake when I do so. It is amazing how much stamina and focused attention I gain with this approach.
Now, if I was just chillaxing and reading through forum discussions, I would be all into Timbuk3 music tracks, which are queued up and ready to go when I take a break from intaking C transcripts later tonight.
