he is definitely one of the best artists out today. everyone of his songs is amazing, and this is just one of the many that are instant classics. he is a hasidic jew, meaning he is a strict follower of mosaic law, and would be considered orthodox, so he doesn't cut the locks of his hair, and wears the fringe outside his clothes, and also follows the dietary laws stated in the old testament or jewish Bible. all of his songs have some sort of religious meaning behind them, some coming directly out of the torah and telling the stories of the hebrew people through song. but yeah, awesome music. |

the last verse is definitely a Biblical reference. "so i'll open the door and let you in" this refers to the Bible verse where Jesus says I am knocking at your door, will you let me in, essentially will you accept me as savior? "i want to break the alabaster, smell the sweet perfume" refers to the woman, i believe mary magdalene who broke open an alabaster jar of perfume and spread it over Jesus's head, to annoint Him. the next line, "when the bottle is broken . . . i'll have everything worth having. . ." this means that we are to give God are best, and after we do that we will have nothing left to give, but we will literrally have everything and anything worth having, meaning salvation. he's awesome, and this is an awesome song, one of my favorites aside from prison is private property. also, he's from texas, so it wouldn't surprize me if he is christian or somewhat spiritual, regardless if he goes to church, he did live in the bible belt. |
