I've always assumed it had something to do with this word from Jesus: Very truly I tell you, unless a kernel of wheat falls to the ground and dies, it remains only a single seed. But if it dies, it produces many seeds. |

| Foals – Bad Habit Lyrics | 12 years ago |

"a still small voice" is a famous phrase from the Old Testament describing God's voice. See 1 Kings 19:11-12 (http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=1+Kings+19%3A11-13&version=KJV). Also, the Mary thing is from the Hail Mary, a Catholic prayer. "Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee; blessed art thou amongst women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus. Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our death. Amen" |

| Billy Bragg and Wilco – Feed Of Man Lyrics | 12 years ago |
| What a fantastic song. It's excellent how when Guthrie offers to help 'fix up' a new God, this God is the God of the Bible, much more so than the god underwriting violence. The following lines could be taken as a beautiful amplification of the commands to humanity in Genesis 1: "Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the earth, and subdue it; and rule over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the sky and over every living thing that moves on the earth." | |

| Anathallo – Dokkoise House (with face covered) Lyrics | 13 years ago |
|
With Face Covered This song refers to the old village custom of a young man visiting a young woman in her room at night, a clandestine meeting for which the lover always covers his face with a towel as a disguise. Thus any stray person would not recognize who is visiting the girl; furthermore, if he is repulsed the towel "saves" his face so that if he meets the girl next day both may act as though nothing had happened. (Cf. also Song 12.) 38 Dokkoise no se Do ya ni hdkamuri Nuchya t5 akete Iru-wai na The dokkoise house: With face covered,^^ You leaving open The door. http://www23.us.archive.org/stream/japanesepeasants38embr/japanesepeasants38embr_djvu.txt |
