wonderful 2 see all the christians videos on youtube, and all the good massege, thats really good 2 know... that were not the only christians are!! love it, Love God
I know this song is supposed to be about the Second Coming, but it's not about that for me. For me, it's about missing a person who is important to you. Maybe they are deceased. Maybe they moved far away. Maybe they ended a relationship with you, or vice versa. But you still hold on to hope. For me, it was about the fantasy of being with someone I actually never knew very well but foolishly thought would solve all of my problems if only I could be with her. It turned out I was in a bad relationship I just didn't have the courage to end, and she just seemed like an escape valve. I didn't have the courage or self esteem to just be alone for even a while, even if it would have saved me from many years of abuse and heartache later. The only person who could have solved my problems back then was me. I eventually got around to it when it got so out of hand there was no other choice but to leave, but it took way too long to get there. I put all my hope in this other person to save me (though I never told her that), and she didn't deserve to have that weight on her shoulders. She didn't ask for that. She just happened to be in the line of fire by being nice to me when my significant other was anything but nice. Until you are actually with someone, you can only pretend to know what it would be like. It was all in my head, but damn if I didn't listen to this song on repeat thinking about it.
Low blow. Joe Porter, though an outstanding drummer, was only Jars drummer for an album or two. The bassist is very good, but also a fill-in. Plays a beautiful upright bass(?) during the acoustic set.
What makes you say that? For the record, I think that's awesome because God is imaginary, and religion is stupid. I walked away too, and I will never look back.
It's too bad that such a talented bunch of musicians are wasting their time on a nonexistent deity and a religion responsible for the deaths of millions of people.
This is such a GREAT song that I just discovered...kinda of always skipped and one day was working and let it play. I'm so into it now!

Great song, highly underrated. Outstanding live rendition here, though I think a banjo is played in the album cut.

The drummer and the bassist... I love them
Haha, nice. They're not part of the band.
