Song #2: The Idea

My second song is only a week late. I’ll just blame my dad for showing up last weekend for that one. I can’t be mad at the guy, though. He’s a pretty cool guy.

So here’s the song, mentally prepared, just like the last one, to be ripped to shreds.

Josh Mock - The Idea

The vocals are a little better this time around (not including the part where the volume peaked when pronouncing a “p”) and this one even includes a wonderful half-assed guitar solo if you can make it to the end. Pretty awesome.

As far as the lyrics go, I was basing them off a quote, trying to relate it to my own life. And it turned out kind of emo. I swear that wasn’t the point, but I was running out of time so I wasn’t going to sweat it. Anyway, here’s the quote:

Those who believe they believe in God, but without passion in the heart, without anguish of mind, without uncertainty, without doubt, and even at times despair, believe only in the idea of God, and not in God himself.

Thanks to Miguel de Unamuno (by way of Madeleine L’Engle) for that wonderful quote.

Now it’s back to work because I’m supposed to have a drawing done by today too. Criticize the song in the comments, please.
