“Christian” songs † 05/22/20 (Fri) 23:55:43 4cf451 No.834750

I enjoy interpreting popular songs to have a Christian meaning. For example, Natasha Bedingfield’s “Pocketful of Sunshine” contains the following lyrics:

> I got a pocket, got a pocketful of sunshine.

>I got a love, and I know that it's all mine.

> Do what you want, but you're never gonna break me.

>Sticks and stones are never gonna shake me.

>Wish that you could, but you ain't gonna own me.

>Do anything you can to control me.

>There's a place that I go,

>That nobody knows.

>Where the rivers flow,

>And I call it home.

>And there's no more lies.

>In the darkness, there's light.

>And nobody cries.

>There's only butterflies.

>The sun is on my side.

>Take me for a ride.

>I smile up to the sky.

>I know I'll be all right.

For this song, the Christian parallels are obvious (if you look for them). The “sun” is on my side, representing Jesus, a place of light and no lies (heaven), nothing the demons or wicked can do to control you or separate you from your happiness in God, “smiling up to the sky” to God, etc.

Personally it just makes songs more interesting by interpreting them in this way. What songs can you think of that may have a Christian interpretation?

I enjoy interpreting popular songs to have a Christian meaning. For example, Natasha Bedingfield’s “Pocketful of Sunshine” contains the following lyrics:

I do this too!

Can't remeber any off hand- but i will come here and post some when i hear them.

Post more when you hear them too!

As a woman, it helps me keep my priorities straight when it comes to relationships as well.

Not that I expect my man to be Jesus orvice versa… Just that they will be "strikingly similar" in how they handle me.

This is how I will know.

I also do this. There are quite a few 21 pilots songs which may be interpreted in this way. But my favorite band for this is the Oh Hellos, which are almost certainly Christian.

I can think off a few off the top of my head, some more explicit than others:

>Like a Stone — Audioslave

>Away from the Sun — 3 Doors Down

>What I’ve Done — Linkin Park

>So Far Away — Staind

>My Hero — Foo Fighters

>Bring Me to Life — Evanescence

>Carry on my wayward son

>For the Longest Time — Billy Joel

>Take it All Back 2.0

>Dead and Gone — TI, Timberlake

Sometimes there may be parts of the song that conflict with a total Christian interpretation, but I just ignore those and pretend they’re there to obfuscate the true message and pander to a wider group.

The members of Twenty One Pilots are Christians actually.

As far as edgy 2000s rock bands go, "Never Too Late" by Three Days Grace is surprisingly Christian.

>This world will never be

>What I expected

>And if I don't belong

>Who would have guessed it?

>I have left alone

>Everything that I own

>To make you feel like

>It's not too late

>It's never too late

>Even if I say

>It'll be alright.

>Still I hear you say

>You want to end your life.

>Now and again we try

>To just stay alive

>Maybe we'll turn it around

>'Cause it's not too late

>It's never too late
