Needle & Thread Lyrics

Cover art for Needle & Thread lyrics by Sleeping At Last

this is a beautiful song, but i don't really like how this bands and other "indie christian rock" bands kind of shove their belief of god down all of their listeners' throats. i understand that musicians write about what affects them and what they feel and stand for, but this song is a little overkill. not every single one of their listeners is going to have the same reverence for the christian god. i'm agnostic and lyrics like this always turn me off.

Like you said, artists use music as a way of relating to the world around them. If faith informs that then why wouldn't it appear in their music? As far as the lyrics are concerned I can definitely appreciate the emphasis on value life in the lyrics. I find them very dignified and something, as one agnostic to another, I feel has room in the non-faith-based music industry.
