Something takes a part of me ...

"Sometimes I cannot take this place
Sometimes it's my life I can't taste
Sometimes I cannot feel my face
You'll never see me fall from grace"
Freak on a leash - Korn

Weird song to pick. Been feeling distinctly head-banger-ish these days. Not depressed; just meditative. And strangely, rock helps me meditate.

I just checked up on a band that I loved from ever long, dc Talk. As all their fans know, the boys have been on hiatus since 2000, doing solo projects. Just wanted to find out what they've all been up to, ya know? To my surprise, Kevin Max seems to have taken a sharp left, to the point where his music isn't overtly recognisable as Christian. I'm not of the school of thought that all music has to have the words "God" "Jesus Christ" and "Jerusalem" to be considered Christian. But the disciples of Christ are known by our fruit, right? In my short perusal of his website, saw the opposite of fruit. Which is so disheartening. This was a band whose music rocked with Jesus. They were always fresh, cutting edge and Christ-centred. To see Kevin spin so far away makes think that it could happen to anybody; anybody who professes to be a Christian, who stands up for Christ and proclaims that He is Lord, could become as Paul said, "a castaway."

Freak on a leash is a song about when a relationship goes so horribly wrong that it hurts instead of healing. I never want to reach that point with God.
