IlluminEddie wrote:Was listening to Yield the other day, I was starting to see a uniting theme, I may have kinda missed before. In the past, I felt there was a song or two about religion/spirituality. Mainly Faithful and Given to Fly... maybe Do the Evolution/Pilate, but never saw a deeper theme.

Then I really listened to No Way. Really listened to the lyrics. That seems quite spiritual to me. In fact, to me, it almost felt like it was written from God's perspective. I mean the "let's call in an angel" part makes it quite obvious, I'm not sure why I missed it before. Read the lyrics. I think they even work better discounting Ed's contributions.

Then you got Faithful. You also have Given to Fly. No need to elaborate there. Brain of J provides a bit of reference with the relived parts. You got Wishlist which has direct references to religion. Then there's Pilate. Of course, this always seemed religious on the surface, and I guess the further you dig, it makes the connection. As do Jeff's comments on the book it supposedly stems from.

I think Do the Evolution is really interesting to inspect lyrically, because certainly this song has religious connotations. Red Dot, doesn't really have lyrics. MFC, admittedly doesn't fit this theme to me, so I'm not going to try to reach there. Yet, low light does. To me, this one is really captures a spiritual essence, almost like entering death. Ament said this was a song in response to Pilate. In Hiding seems like a cleansing of sorts, be it spiritual or not. All those Yesterdays - a nice lyrical extension of No Way, written by Gossard again.

I guess, I wonder if they purposefully wanted to write religiously themed songs at that time, or if it just kinda came out that way? What do you think? Is it just a collection of songs and random?

You don't like this album though. I think that'll widen the gulf. Again.

You got to be fucking kidding. I posted a reasonable post and thread asking an interesting question.. To which chudlicks or whatever his name is posts about 10 new threads simply to be a douche.. And u decide to merge it based on what he does.

Yeh, like I said, go back to eating your bowl of dicks.
