› Musik - Religiöse Themen in der
Popmusik1.0 Einleitung Auch in der modernen Musik gibt es in den Texten viele religiöse Passagen. Wenn auch vielleicht nicht mehr ganz so deutlich wie vor 50 Jahren, zeigen doch viele Lieder, dass sich die jungen Leute auch heutzutage mit Gott und den Menschen auseinandersetzen. Hier einige Beispiele: 1.1 U2 - I still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For I believe in the Kingdom come, then all the colours will bled into one, bleed into one, but yes I'm still runnin' You broke the bonds, and you loosed the chains carry the cross of my shame, of my shame, you know I believe it But I still haven't found what I'm looking for but I still haven't found what I'm looking for 1.2 Kommentar Der Sänger drückt in diesem Lied sowohl seinen Glauben, als auch seine persönlichen Zweifel aus. Er befindet sich auf einer »Suche«, aber er hält an seinem Glauben fest. 2.0 Richard Ashcroft - Check The Meaning Too much blood, too much hate, turn off the set There's got to be something more When Mohammed, Allah, Buddah, Jesus Christ Are knocking down my door I'm agnostic getting God, but man She takes a female form There's no time, no space, no law We're out here on our own 2.1 Kommentar Richard Ashcroft versucht hier zu verdeutlichen, dass Gott in verschiedenen Formen auftritt. Sei es aus anderen Religionen oder als Frau. Er äußert sich jedoch auch kritisch indem er »We're out here on our own« singt. 3.0 Oasis - Do You Know What I Mean I met my maker I made him cry And on my shoulder he asked me why His people won't fly through the storm 3.1 Kommentar In diesem Text von Noel Gallagher beklagt sich Gott darüber, dass die Menschen anscheinend den blinden Glauben verloren haben. 4.0 Manic Street Preachers - There By The Grace Of God With grace we will suffer With grace we shall recover There by the grace of God There by the grace of God 4.1 Kommentar Die Manics singen hier, dass sie sie leiden werden, um Gnade und Erlösung vor Gott zu finden. 5.0 Cat Stevens - Jesus They used to call him Jesus long time ago they're still calling him Jesus Don't you know They crossed the wood and hanged him A long time ago They still misunderstand him Those who don´t know And in the evening his love will lead the blind In every secret corner there in your mind 5.1 Kommentar In diesem Text geht es um Jesus, und darum, dass er immer noch unter uns ist und sein Werk längst nicht vollendet ist. 6.0 The Who - Christmas Did you ever see the faces of children They get so excited. Waking up on christmas morning Hours before the winter 1's ignited. They believe in dreams and all they mean Including heavens generosity. Peeping round the door to see what parcels are for free In curiosity. And Tommy doesn't know what day it is. Doesn't know who Jesus was or what praying is. How can he be saved? From the eternal grave. Surrounded by his friends he sits so silently, And unaware of everything. Playing poxy pin ball picks his nose and smiles and Pokes his tongue at everything. I believe in love but how can men who've never seen Light be enlightened. Only if he's cured will his spirits future level ever heighten. And Tommy doesn't know what day it is. Doesn't know who Jesus was or what praying is. How can he be saved? From the eternal grave. Tommy can you hear me? Tommy can you hear me? Tommy can you hear me? How can he be saved? 6.1 Kommentar In diesem Liedtext aus dem Musical »Tommy« geht es um einen blinden, stummen und tauben Buben, der das Weihnachtsfest nie erleben kann. Das Lied ist aus der Sicht des Vaters geschrieben der sich Sorgen um den Glauben des Jungen, den ihn nie jemand lehren konnte, macht. 7.0 The Who - I'm Free I'm free - I'm free, And freedom tastes of reality, I'm free - I'm free, An' I'm waiting for you to follow me. If I told you what it takes to reach the highest high, You'd laugh and say ›nothing's that simple‹ But you've been told many times before Messiahs pointed to the door And no one had the guts to leave the temple! I'm free - I'm free And freedom tastes of reality I'm free - I'm free And I'm waiting for you to follow me 7.1 Kommentar In diesem Liedtext (auch aus »Tommy«) geht es um die Suche nach Freiheit, und um die Rolle Jesu bei dieser Suche: »Jesus zeigte auf die Tür, aber niemand hatte den Mumm, den Tempel zu verlassen.« Diese Anspielung an die Tempelreinigung ruft in Erinnerung, dass Religionen auch ganz schön einengend sein können, und dass Jesus religiösen Traditionen und Gebräuchen auch immer wieder kritisch gegenüberstand. 8.0 Joan Osborne - One Of Us If God had a name, what would it be and would you call it to his face if you were faced with him and all his glory what would you ask if you had just one question? Refrain: And yeah yeah God is great, yeah yeah God is good, yeah yeah, yeah yeah yeah What if God was one of us, just a slob like one of us just a stranger on the bus, trying to make his way home. If God had a face, what would it look like and would you want to see if seeing meant that you would have to believe in things like heaven and in Jesus and the saints and all the prophets. Refrain: And yeah yeah God is great, yeah yeah God is good, yeah yeah, yeah yeah yeah What if God was one of us, just a slob like one of us just a stranger on the bus, trying to make his way home, just trying to make his way home, back up to heaven all alone, nobody calling on the phone exept the pope maybe in Rome. (Solo) Refrain: And yeah yeah God is great, yeah yeah God is good, yeah yeah, yeah yeah yeah What if God was one of us, just a slob like one of us just a stranger on the bus, trying to make his way home. like a holy rolling stone, back up to heaven all alone just trying to make his way home, nobody calling on the phone exept the pope maybe in Rome. 8.1 Kommentar Einer der bekanntesten populären Texte über Gott, spielt sogar in »Austin Powers 2« eine Rolle. Johannes Sturm (Juni 2003, 3BK) |
