The best movie ever made!
 
Jose Gonzalez has a simple and somewhat monotone style. However, this is exactly what is endearing about his music. There is a sense that he deeply feels what he is singing. Although not necessarily a Christian singer he writes about conquering the darkness, pacifism, and love in a number of his songs.
 
Sufjan Stevens is not your typical Christian musician. The lyrics of this song are haunting and desperate. I imagine them to be about both the relationship between God and Jesus and our relationship with the two. A while back I was angry at God for creating us in a vacuum of the self. We are completely alone in this world without God in our lives and our ability to communicate with the divine is shaky at best rendering us almost to the level of orphaned. This song points out how much God wants us to be involved with him or her and how much Jesus gave up for out of shear love.
 
This song ignited me. Elephant Revival is a transcendental folk quintet that combines blue grass elements such as the wash board with traditional Scottish and Celtic fiddle pieces. Add unbelievably heady lyrics and there isn't much not to like.  I went a long time as an Atheist. When I found Jesus I realized he was there all along just as the lyrics say. Another underlying theme of the song Forgiveness is that you must experience the evil in this world to know what good entails. "I have become the devil to realize that I'm divine / I have been living in poverty because I could not see my wealth", how beautifully poetic. For a band that is not strictly Christian per say, Elephant Revival hit a note in my heart.
