432. Hokus Pick - Silver (The Comfort Song)
from the Album leaving Eden
(Freedom Records 1997)
"Snappy , one of their last albums was their best and proved they could write and play with the
best of them. On Snappy the band reached into several different genres from pop/ska to U2 styled driving modern rock.
The album also contains their
biggest, I’m So Happy from
whence the album got its title and
was accompenied by one of the
best low budget music videos ever. It also happens to be an extremely well developed song and utterly misunderstood as despite its uber-bright demeanor it was, in actuality, a stinging indictment against the syrupy, unrealistic content of most Christian music. Oddly, because it was clearly
misunderstood it actually became a HUGE hit. (Source: CCM's 500 Best Albums)
Despite a very humorous tone, and an introduction by Homer Simpson, this song conveys the serious message that we need to put our trust in God and not earthly possesions.
