I would say "Bang A Drum" is a borderline gospel song. Also, there's a fair bit of Christian influence in Lost Highway. Not saying it's a Christian album by any means, but there are spots here and there throughout the album.


Also, I completely agree with all of your points. The best songs are songs where lyrics can be interpreted in so many different ways. I love liking a song and having an idea in my head about what the song is about and then reading up on what the artist actually wrote it about and being surprised. I am Christian myself, but keep that to myself for the most part. I still love "Hey God".. It's not like Jon is slamming God and the people who believe in him - He's just struggling with poverty and sickness and how a loving God would allow something like that. However, that's another discussion for another time. Basically what I;m trying to say is to not like those songs because they have hints of religion in them, completely baffles me.
