“In this world we’re just beginning to understand the miracle of living.” – Belinda Carlisle, “Heaven is a Place on Earth”
Which ancient culture resonates with this one?
Patti Griffin, “Heavenly Day” – offers another take on the same theme.
And for those of you who feel left out by heaven, I give you The Clash, giving a different perspective.

“This Must Be The Place” by Talking Heads has always been one of my favorite songs. I think the lyrics are incredibly in line with my own sentiments regarding life.
The lyrics include:
“The less we say about it the better / Make it up as we go along”,
“Home, is where I want to be / But I guess I’m already there”,
“I’m just an animal looking for a home and / Share the same space for a minute or two”
I think these express the confusion about what life really is that many humans share. My cosmologies center around wanting to coexist with others – humans and creatures alike – with compassion and empathy. I think Talking Heads really captures this idea of just living day by day, making what we can of this wild world.
Lao Tzu (LaoZi). Tao Te Ching. Chapter 47, as explained by 1990’s musical sensation TLC in their smash hit “Waterfalls”
Tao Te Ching Chapter 47:106: Without stirring abroad one can know the whole world; without a window, one can see the way to heaven. The further one goes the less one knows. Therefore the Sage knows without having to stir, identifies without having to see, accomplishes without having to act.

Explaination: The mother in this song believes that her son would be better if he just came home instead of going away all the time. He would say to his mother that if she isnt out there she doesnt know what his life is like, but the mother (sage) knows without a window. The futher the son stirs from his mother the less he knows, The mother believes he would accomplish more without acting.
Wayfaring Stranger is an extremely old song with many different covers. I choose Johnny Cash for the cover. This song is about someone who is dying and is celebrating the fact that they are on the way to heaven. They are happy because they will finally be reunited with their mother. I would say this is a gospel song, there are many different references to God.
I’m just a poor wayfaring stranger
Traveling through this world below
There is no sickness, no toil, nor danger
In that bright land to which I go
I’m going there to see my Father
And all my loved ones who’ve gone on
I’m just going over Jordan
I’m just going over home
I know dark clouds will gather ’round me
I know my way is hard and steep
But beauteous fields arise before me
Where God’s redeemed, their vigils keep
I’m going there to see my Mother
She said she’d meet me when I come
So, I’m just going over Jordan
I’m just going over home
I’m just going over Jordan
I’m just going over home
Amber Runs song Amen, is a beautifully vulnerable song that could also be interpreted as a prayer about how it feels to love someone who has died. Within the song, he questions if he should stay on earth or instead go up to heaven to find him the person he loves because its unbearable to be on earth without them. This song has many different Christian themes.
And are those real angels in the magazines?
Oh, is there a heaven? You’d know now you’ve been
Are those real stars that hang in the sky?
Or are they man-made, a trick of the light?
Amen, amen, amen
And is there a God up there?
So, where does He hide?
‘Cause the devil is raging inside my mind
And is there a moment when it all makes sense?
When saying goodbye, doesn’t feel like the end?
Amen
Amen
Amen, amen
Sometimes I can’t help blaming You
For leaving me here, what am I supposed to do?
There’s plenty of women, there’s drink and there’s drugs
But we both know that won’t be enough…
Originally this song was written and performed by Nine Inch Nails’ which was a commentary on the human condition. I prefer Johnny Cashes cover and rewrite of the song, Hurt, as he uses it to express the sadness he feels as death is closing in on him, but even more so the people around him. He put this song on his 2002 album and later that year put out a music video to go along with it. His wife appears in the video when he speaks of his sweet friend, following by saying, “Goes away in the end, And you could have it all”. I find this especially moving and sad as his wife passed away in 2003. The reason I picked this song is that I believe Johhny Cash knew he was going to die soon and in this song is speaking to the younger version of himself as well as the old version of himself. I believe he is scolding his younger self for abusing drugs and wasting time that he no longer has. He thought his empire of fame would fill him with love but it hasn’t and he is just as empty as he was when he was young. At the core of Jonnhy Cashes’ version I believe he is saying he is who he is and he couldn’t change that and he will die as he was born.
I hurt myself today
To see if I still feel
I focus on the pain
The only thing that’s real
The needle tears a hole
The old familiar sting
Try to kill it all away
But I remember everything
What have I become
My sweetest friend?
Everyone I know
Goes away in the end
And you could have it all
My empire of dirt
I will let you down
I will make you hurt
I wear this crown of thorns
Upon my liar’s chair
Full of broken thoughts
I cannot repair
Beneath the stains of time
The feelings disappear
You are someone else
I am still right here
What have I become
My sweetest friend?
Everyone I know
Goes away in the end
And you could have it all
My empire of dirt
I will let you down
I will make you hurt
If I could start again
A million miles away
I will keep myself
I would find a way
Turn Turn Turn written and sung by Pete Seeger (written in 1959, recorded 1962.) There’s also a very popular 1965 version by The Byrds. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GbPl91kTFro
Oh, Death is a very old song, and its origins are unknown. Some research suggests that it may have been written by Lloyed Chandler, an American Appalachian folk musician. Chandler had said he had a vision from God in 1916, and that was his reasoning for writing the song. It was than made popular by Moran Lee “Dock” Boggs, in the late 1920’s.
This song is about a young man who falls ill and is scared that death is coming to take him. He pleads with death, and tries to negotiate any way in which to avoid death and death responds by saying, ” No wealth, no land, no silver, no gold
Nothing satisfies me but your soul”. It is a bleak song, that at its core highlights the fact that no one can escape death.
Oh, Death
Oh, Death
Won’t you spare me over ’til another year
Well what is this that I can’t see
With icy hands takin’ hold of me
Well I am Death, none can excell
I’ll open the door to Heaven and Hell
Whoa, Death
Whoa, Oh death
someone would pray
Could you wait to call me another day
The children prayed, the preacher preached
Time and mercy is out of your reach
I’ll fix your feet til you can’t walk
I’ll lock your jaw til you can’t talk
I’ll close your eyes so you can’t see
This very hour, come and go with me
I’m Death I come to take the soul
Leave the body and leave it cold
To draw up the flesh off of the frame
Dirt and worm both have a claim
O, Death
O, Death
Won’t you spare me over ’til another year
My mother came to my bed
Placed a cold towel upon my head
My head is warm my feet are cold
Death is a-movin’ upon my soul
Oh, Death how you’re treatin’ me
You’ve closed my eyes so I can’t see
Well you’re hurtin’ my body
You make me cold
You run my life right outta my soul
Oh Death please consider my age
Please don’t take me at this stage
My wealth is all at your command
If you will move your icy hand
The old, the young, the rich or poor
All alike to me you know
No wealth, no land, no silver no gold
Nothing satisfies me but your soul
O, Death
O, Death
Won’t you spare me over til another year
Won’t you spare me over til another year
Won’t you spare me over til another year
“Dá mBeinn i mo Bhádóir” or “If I were a fisherman/sailorman” by Ye Vagabonds is a traditional Irish tune. In a modern context, it takes a more lamenting tone towards the almost sacred and traditional way of life that the peoples of the island of Arranmore escaping and being lost to time. In terms of cosmology, it highlights the emphasis put on the loss of tradition, and the need for the preservation of the traditions that might be lost. Many different texts that we looked over offer different perspectives, authority figures, and rituals to perform in order to keep the respective people’s culture alive. For the Irish, instead of divination poetry or special calligraphy, history and traditions are often passed from hand to hand, song to song, and from pen to paper. Here’s the song:
I choose Leonard Cohen song, “You Want It Darker”, which he wrote for one of his last albums with the knowledge he was dying. In the song he says, “I”m ready, my lord,” referring to his death, to many of his long time listeners this was in parallel with how he had spoken about God before, as he often times criticized and questioned God for the suffering within his own life and the world. This song has many references to Judeo-Christian religious themes. I believe at the center of this song is the struggle he faced loving a God that also allows for suffering, such as the Holocaust which is referenced in the second verse and death which is referenced through out the whole song.
If you are the dealer, I’m out of the game
If you are the healer, it means I’m broken and lame
If thine is the glory then mine must be the shame
You want it darker
We kill the flame
Magnified, sanctified, be thy holy name
Vilified, crucified, in the human frame
A million candles burning for the help that never came
You want it darker
Hineni, hineni
I’m ready, my lord
There’s a lover in the story
But the story’s still the same
There’s a lullaby for suffering
And a paradox to blame
But it’s written in the scriptures
And it’s not some idle claim
You want it darker
We kill the flame
They’re lining up the prisoners
And the guards are taking aim
I struggled with some demons
They were middle class and tame
I didn’t know I had permission to murder and to maim
You want it darker
Hineni, hineni
I’m ready, my lord
Magnified, sanctified, be thy holy name
Vilified, crucified, in the human frame
A million candles burning for the love that never came
You want it darker
We kill the flame
If you are the dealer, let me out of the game
If you are the healer, I’m broken and lame
If thine is the glory, mine must be the shame
You want it darker
Hineni, hineni
Hineni, hineni
I’m ready, my lord
Hineni

Time passes
You learn right from wrong
Time passes
You leave home seeking a life
Of your own
I’m tellin’ you the natural facts
For way this world
Listen to me people
You make your own heavens and hell
Right here on earth
I’m tellin’ you the natural facts
For way this world
You make you own heaven and hell
Right here on earth
On earth, on earth, on earth
Time passess
And your values change
Life becomes a strange, confusing game
Suddenly you want the finer things in life
But you find it takes lots of hard work and sacrifice
Now you’re standing
At the crossroads of life
To satisfy your personal wants
Will you do wrong
Or will you do right?
Well one thing you must admit
And you know it’s true
The final decision
Is still up to you
I’m tellin’ you the natural facts
For way this world
Listen to me people
You make your own heaven and hell
Right here on earth
Let me tell you one more time
I’m tellin’ you the natural facts
For way this world
You make your own heaven and hell
Right here on earth
Listen people
Life is a giant, invisible scale with two sides;
Good and bad
You and your beliefs
Are the weights
The things you do each day
Determine the balance
Your conscience is a flawless
Judge and jury;
The only question is what you want
I’m tellin’ you the natural facts
For way this world
You make your own heaven and hell
Right here on earth
One more time, now listen
I’m tellin’ you the natural facts
For way this world
You make your own heaven and hell
Right here on earth
Listen to me
You make your own heaven and hell
Right here on earth
