What Have We Done
There is something special about music that makes me wonder how professional music reviewers can review anything. There is that special quality that comes from the way dissonance and harmony intertwine to create something completely indescribable. Reviewing things, it seems, is more art than science.
Listening to this song, I can safely say that I would never guess that it would have the impact it did. Some chord in my being was strum, and I connected. And, for once, not because of the music.
I picked up the sampler EP from Re:Sound, and instantly fell in love with this song. It’s hard to just listen to the music, because there hardly isn’t any. Just this guy singing, and constant drum beat. But what he’s singing…
How many times have I cried out, “Oh my God”? Countless. Countless times. Countless times, in various degrees of pleas to deity.
I can really identify with a line like that. With somebody who just realized what a mistake he’s made. Like Peter at the crucifixion. Like me, most of my life.
There’s something special about the title of this song. It’s a rhetorical question. And a question everybody will ask, many times in their life.
Sadly, very few of us will get the answer we hope for.
The Sampler Version and The Embed Version
This embedded version of this song came from Mars Hill rather than the sampler. There are a few, barely noticeable differences.
Still rocks most heavily.
