================================================ Subject: Re: 'My Sacrifice' Inspiration From: To: Date: Fri 12 Oct 2001 20:22:48 EDT ================================================ Actually, Scott, I was kind of "taking your side" on this one. I was trying to support the fact that it's not fair for someone to interpret the song as being about God, and saying they need to "admit it" because it's easy for people to read into it their own way. So in the same manner, it wouldn't be fair for me to say "This song is about someone dying and being reunited with someone they love, and Creed just needs to admit it." Sorry if I came across differently. jen In a message dated 10/12/2001 7:00:44 PM Central Daylight Time, swhite@TUCKER-USA.COM writes: << Yes, that's true... a song can always be interpreted many ways. But when the person that wrote the actual song lyrics go and explain what the song is about, then there's no point in someone else coming along and saying "why don't they just admit that it's about God?". This in essence is saying that either the person that wrote the lyrics is a liar, or is delusional. And I think that in this case, neither is true. Creed... Scott Stapp in particular, has never lied about the meanings behind their songs. They have admitted many many times that they are spiritual (not religious, but spiritual... there is a difference)... so why would they not admit to writing this song about God, when they have done so (admitting that a song has a connection to a God) in the past? People are allowed to get whatever message that they can from a song... whether it is the true message or not... but to go and ask why Creed would just not admit that it is about God is more ignorance than viewpoint. If a person feels that it is about God, then that's one thing... but to argue with the person that wrote it... that's the same as saying that they're a Christian band after they announce that they're not. In reality, who would know better than the band themselves, right?
