Brett Dennen – Ain't No Reason Lyrics 16 years ago
ok... i have a question...

is the line "you don't need a reason or a three piece suit to argue the truth"

or...

is it supposed to be "you don't need a razor or a three piece suit to argue the truth"...

listen to it... it makes more sense... and i seriously think he is saying razor as opposed to reason.

this has been a debate between myself and my lady friend... and i want to be right for once.

someone... please tell me i'm not insane.

Brett Dennen – Heaven Lyrics 16 years ago
probably one of the most profound songs that i have ever REALLY listened to. it grabs me and brings a peace and hope for the future.

brett tells that heaven is not just for certain people of a certain religion, and that just like the beatitudes, "blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted" (matthew 5:4). this is really an uplifting song that calls for hope and peace among all people... which truly exemplifies everything that brett stands for.

this reminds me of c.s. lewis in The Last Battle (book 7 of the Chronicles of Narnia), in which lewis paints a picture of heaven that is for people who are truly good... not just for overt christians. he pictures a God who honors those who act out of love for their fellow man... who are inevitably serving God whether they know it or not. truly one of the most influential passages that i have ever had the privilege of reading. it made me think when i was younger... and now it means so much more.

i love that brett has the ability to see that all people are worthy of love... and that for many who are suffering, heaven will come.

makes me tear up every time.
