Hey everyone,
I've been really busy with Christmas eve and Shine production stuff, so I've been unable to really think, let alone blog at all. However, in looking at different Christmas songs to do this year, one especially caught my eye. It's from one of my favorite bands - Jimmy Eat World. In digging up information, I have found out that this song is actually a remake of a song by a band named Low. I agree with a reviewer of Low's version of this song that said that Christian artists would probably give up all their Dove Awards to write a song like this. The lyrics are below.
"If You Were Born Today"
If you were born today
We'd kill you by age eight
Never get the chance to say
Joy to the world and
Peace on the earth
Forgive them for they know not what they do
Blessed are the meek and
Blessed are the humble
Blessed are the ninety and nine
Deny the flesh
Deny all that's evil
Tonight you'll deny me thrice
If you were born today
We'd kill you by age eight
You'd never have the chance to say... to say...
Joy to the world (If you were born today)
Peace on the earth (We'd kill you by age eight)
Never get the chance to say...

Hey
That's a really good song Are you using it for Shine or Christmas Eve? You should
Hey, I just wanted to say HAPPY BIRTHDAY! and I hope you have an amazing birthday.
Thanks, I've got a real soft spot for Christmas music - not heard this before. Have you heard Sufjan Stevens' Christmas album - some of it's just beautiful. Matt
Okay. Should have scanned through the rest of your blog first... you plainly agree on the Sufjan front.
