Mark David Chapman Lyrics
About John Lennon's Death or his killer???
i love this song and band. they are a local band and its cool to live where they live. this song is great. i always listen to it. the cd madonna is so gnarly
some kid i know who listens to the misfits said he hated this band because they had a cool name but wasted it by "not singing about death". man that kid's an idiot. on a different note, these guys are fucking awesome. and this song has sex with my musical tastes. and you will know them by the trail of nodding heads.
this song is about the pervasive power of music, rock especially. every line is a testament to the sheer beauty of rock. the line "what have you done, Mark David Chapman?" is obviously referencing the assassination of Lennon, and symbolically characterizing it as a tragedy of rock n' roll. keely is very poetic and subversive throughout the song, but the connections to music creating such a catharsis in people is clear.
"So let this be a drink to calm the shaking hands that you've found. Let this be release, forever unwound."
@intrepidtraveler Hate to break it to you, but this is not a Conrad Keely song but rather a Neil Busch song, his first as a member of the group actually.

"some kid i know who listens to the misfits said he hated this band because they had a cool name but wasted it by "not singing about death"."
but they do sing about death
"keely is very poetic and subversive throughout the song, but the connections to music creating such a catharsis in people is clear"
correction my dear, neil is the one who sings this song.
Chapman was another lost soul mesmerized by the satellite transmitted dream of rock stardom. In killing Lennon, his obsession was consummated, but his part in helping to erect a legacy can't be denied.
Mark David Chapman deified John Lennon.
