Wow, I'm getting a split personality just reading the comments (and leaving the social/religious connotations alone altogether)!

Personally, I liked the song...not sure why.

Down the song by all means, but please do not insult the Christian community by calling this Christian. They may call themselves a Christian band, but the truth is not every song that sprays "God" here and there qualifies as Christian. They’ve admitted themselves that the lyrics to most of the songs in this album were written during their high school days, and it shows.

I was very surprised to see this song played on Radio Paradise, but the DJ probably though it had nothing to do with God, which it doesn’t. The music is good – which is why I have the album. The lyrics on the other hand, horrid!

In any case, this is what angers me about this band and others like it (Jars of Clay anyone?). The lyrics are cryptic and have nothing to do with praising God, but instead trying to come off looking good. Instead they come off as insulting.

Don't sugar coat it, tell us what you really think!

Oh my

Looking through the comments, I'm SOO sad to learn they are a Christian group. Though it does show the variety there is out there in Christian music, it just re-affirms the stereotype that Christian music is a haven for people/bands who can't make it in "real music". This song SUCKS, and I'm ashamed for them.

So passionate! Such crap!

Can I get a divorce from this tune?

Enrique?

I'd sit through it again, didn't think it was that awful. It has its moments. 8O

Unk...Simba..Mangani.....Ole'

Sounds like a relative of Shakira meets Zorba the Greek

Reminds me of the spoof they do of Antonio Banderas on Saturday Night Live.

I thought it was pretty good - latin-like.... :p

Agreed....

The actual music is not too bad... until he opens his mouth.... then its ARGRHHHH!!!

Beautiful music, but then -- the singing makes me want to .

Most of their songs have an eastern-european feel (the band is greek-american) and boy, no acoustic band can rock like these guys do in concert. (saw them open for jars of clay once) The lyrics for the most part don't have Christian overtones, and in fact generally veer to the puzzling and nonsensical.

This is NOT worthy of RP! And it’s a god band to boot! "Christian music" Uggghhh! Just say no to thought control!

normally I wouldn't bother - especially on a weekend, but this song is one of the large turds I have been avoiding. Please don't play it. Please.

Hrmmm.... I really like Flamanco and this song has a really good feel and energy to it. I am disappointed to hear that they don't carry this style through out the rest of their work. I was excited because I thought I might have found another good flamanco group.

what's going on? this sucks

Ugh.

Makes me wanna hit the mute button.

Just like I've been saying for a year. Radio Paradise seems to have rumaged through my own eclectic music for their playlist. This Christian band is quite eclectic across this CD from song to song. Thanks RP for playing groups like Jars of Clay and Burlap to Cashmere. I've got other Christian groups I can turn you onto which fit your grove.

Makes me wanna learn how to flamenco.

gonna have to vote no on this one.

Interesting sound - I like the Spanish guitar. This is promising.

Dishwater. Yuck.
