Spiritual Impulses in Rock and Pop Music Lyrics
Casino milieu, loads of money, violence - and a surprisingly profound spiritual message in this 2005 masterpiece by Guy Ritchie.
I count Bob Dylan's Abandoned Love among his love songs that invite to a spiritual perspective. The love to be abandoned may be earthly ties and the ego.
Many people have stated they love the song, but find it very hard to make sense of the lyrics. We look at them from the perspective of a fallen soul seeking the path of salvation.
A lyrical masterpiece supporting a variety of interpretations, we look at the song from the perspective of a fallen soul seeking the path of salvation.
This song may be catchy partly because it relates to a deep level of the soul: the initial separation from the field of unity. On the way back we may be confronted with wounds from the past.
Cohen's Ballad of the Absent Mare is the most spiritual rock and pop song I have encountered because it describes the full path rather than certain aspects.
Dylan's song about death and grace may hint at a maturing spirit-soul that leads to a renewed state of being.
Queen's Innuendo describes the fallen state of man and expresses a longing to overcome this state and the ego. The perspective on time may be a key to freedom.
