Amazing. I love his lyrics.

His songs had been getting shorter and shorter over the years. This kinda trips up that progression, but this definitely keeps my interest. The hook throws me off à la "King of Carrot Flowers 2 & 3" but I'll probably get used to it in the same way.

I'm not listening to Owen anymore because this song talks about jesus. terribly offensive.

I really love the faster beat of this one. Can't wait to hear more.

Sounds like Owen.

Top notch. Beautiful. One of Mike's best songs in a LONG time

this guy does no wrong

this song is far from typical owen if you really listen to it. i really like it.

call me stupid...but i cant tell if this is for or against faith? other than that, its a pretty awesome song.

Pretty sure the last few lines sum it up.

I believe there is no white light
Somebody’s mistaken or somebody lied
I believe there is only one truth
It resonates different in me and you
so don’t try to sell me yours

I really like this, it feels different to me than most of his work, the buildup at the very end, and this topic all seem like new ground.

So damn good!

Amazing. Thank you for this, Mr. Kinsella.

Totally agree. I believe that this album is going to show personal growth and hit on topics we're not used to hearing from Mike.

It's hard to say... because even the ending doesn't totally push one side or the other. Most atheists will undeniably say its stating that he doesn't believe in God, but I don't think that's the case. I think he is against "organized religions," not faith or God. It's really an interesting take IMO. People need to look up pantheistic and panenthesitic views on God and Process Reality (process studies). There is more to Christian thought than the naive view most Christians state.

I think Mike is saying that the one truth is that NONE of us TRULY know anything about God, but we have to have that faith, that he seems to be struggling with (and is brought up in other songs...see the end of No Place Like Home.) I wish he would come out and inform us!!!

But ya, I think he is struggling with this himself it seems, and wants to believe, but doesn't want to believe in this man made stuff that has covered up the true meaning (explained above).

Did that make any sense hahaha?!
