STORY TELLING SONGS AND FAITH JOURNEYS

The real ‘big 4’ have to be Journey’s 'Don’t Stop Believin', 
Bonnie Tyler’s 'Total Eclipse of the Heart',` Always` by Bon Jovi 
Meat Loaf’s 'I’d Do Anything For Love (But I Won’t Do That)'.

 It’s the musical equivalent of the Sistine Chapel in your ears.

The video screen has images of Jesus crucified the singer is shouting out lyrics 
`l would do anything for love,but l won`t do that` 
A big question is that a form of worship,l suggest it is!
Creating a narrative, a huge canvass, for our thoughts to reflect even return towards.

The song  HOW LONG by ACE
Although widely interpreted as being about adultery, the song was in fact composed by lead singer Paul Carrack upon discovering that bassist Terry Comer had been secretly working with the Sutherland Brothers and Quiver.Comer returned to Ace in time to play on the song
the narative of the story is understood to be about love and a particluer form of love and cheating it is fact about someone borrowing equipemnet and
 also using time to play on other tracks by other groups the question is asked
`how long has this been going on ?`
again the writer sing `well your friends in their fancy places....` but he going on about another group Not frinds who concluded incovering up the affiar.
we do not listen . . . we do not hear . .so how long...
it like that with the Christian narrative we do not read well the bible nor do people discover the faith truth around Christianty becuase they are not listening to the narrative
they are hearing a differant story ...one told by perjaps the press or misguided others
the true story is about a king who came and died a criminals death on a bloody cross
a midnight trail..wrongly held betryaed by a kiss from a close friend..all foretold..mircles..parables ..new kingdom teachings..not listened too

          Some people just don't        know how to be Kind.         Age doesn't season them,       time does not mellow Them.  Try ...

MAYBE WE WON`T MEET AGAIN

. . . she got a postcard in the mail
That just said Heaven,with a picture of the ocean and the beach
The simple words he wrote her
Said he loved her
How he'd hold her if his arms would reach
Wish you were here, wish you could see this place
Wish you were near,Wish I could touch your face
The weather's nice, it's paradise
It's summertime all year and there's some folks we know
They say, "Hello, "
I miss you so, wish you were here"
