I just caught a snippet of this song as I was eating breakfast last Friday, and had to search it out to hear the entire song! I really liked it. So first Youtube video was just the album cover but I saw a link to what looked like a video by the group doing the song - and it brought back a few memories!
It was 1969, this new little German boy - raised as an atheist Jew, is now transported to South Carolina and you better believe they had to drag me from my homeland to this America kicking and screaming the entire way! And one of the boys in my new 9th grade class invited me to his church ... seemed innocent enough. But, no, they were into snake handling, passing out, hitting each other on the head, screaming utter gibberish and this little atheist ran for it!
So, I love this song by One Republic, and the video brought back some bizarre memories of an odd October night in 1969 ...
Their album seems have quite a few great songs on it and Youtube has what has to be the most visually stunning music video I have seen since perhaps 1986! Anthother One Republic song but wow, talk about well staged / executed / whatever you want to call it ....
