GOD SONGS
GODGADGETS & MUSIC
Rock and roll songs about God cover a wide spectrum, from The Big Fat Pet Clams from Outer Space's "God and Dr. Hawking"
To
Bob Dylan
"Gonna Change My Way of Thinking"
Roy Orbison
Died before the video was shot, so when his vocals are heard, they showed a picture of him and his guitar is shown sitting in a rocking chair. Very sweet touch.
Roy Orbison's pseudonym in the supergroup the Traveling Wilburys was Lefty Wilbury. He chose the name "Lefty" to honor his musical hero, the American country music singer-songwriter Lefty Frizzell. The members of the Traveling Wilburys (George Harrison, Bob Dylan, Tom Petty, Jeff Lynne, and Roy Orbison) all adopted pseudonyms as fictional half-brothers from the Wilbury family for their two albums.
Johnny Cash
The Doobie Brothers
Norman Greenbaum
Black Sabbath
Because Black Sabbath were getting sick of being called Satanists, bassist Geezer Butler, who is a Christian, wrote "After Forever" this pro-Christianity song. The lyrics are about being open minded and at least consider the possibility of a God existing.
Lyrics
Have you ever thought about your soul
Can it be saved?
Or perhaps you think that when you are dead
You just stay in your grave
Is God just a thought within your head
Or is he a part of you?
Is Christ just a name that you read in the book
When you were in school?
[Verse 2]
When you think about death do you lose your breath
Or do you keep your cool?
Would you like to see the Pope on the end of a rope?
Do you think he's a fool?
Well, I have seen the truth, yes, I've seen the light
And I've changed my ways
And I'll be prepared when you're lonely and scared
At the end of our days
[Bridge]
Could it be you're afraid of what your friends might say
If they knew you believe in God above?
They should realise before they criticise
That God is the only way to love
Is your mind so small that you have to fall
In with the pack wherever they run?
Will you still sneer when death is near
And say that you may as well worship the sun?
