| Regina Spektor – Human of the Year Lyrics | 16 years ago |

Gabriel, I completely agree with you. However, I also agree with what has been said earlier; I think "Human of the Year" is a - yes, "sarcastic" - song that, in a broader sense, criticizes the over-idolization - "worship"? - of human icons. Clearly, there is no better example of an elected, worshiped, and celebrated human-figure, occupying a position of great honor, and chosen by a sacred body, (the "cathedral" that represents the Catholic Church), from among old men with balding spots, than the Pope. But I suppose part of the beauty of art is that it is meant to be interpreted in many different ways. That said, I flat out disagree with the interpretation that this is a joyous song about a man finding religion. |
