The Sound of Silence

You probably need to listen to The Sound of Silence by Disturbed. It's a remake of Simon and Garfunkel's 1964 Sounds of Silence. It has quickly become one of my favorite songs and is stuck in my head all day every day. Please. Go to the link and have a listen. You will love... or hate me for it.

This song stirs up a lot of emotion in me. It is a very well-sang song which is sung with passion.

I wish I had a spiritual spin to add to this post, but I've tried two, and given up on both. You will have to draw your own spiritual conclusions about this song and do the research on this band/singer to find out what you chose to believe about it.

Was this song/video inspired by God? If so, why was it? Was this song/video inspired by Satan? If so, why was it? I haven't made up my mind yet, but the history of how this song was created is interesting.

God uses the foolish things of the world to shame the wise. (1 Corinthians 1:27) Does he also use the loud, sinful, unholy things of the world to teach those who diligently seek him? You decide. But just remember, you are sinful. You are unholy. We all are, and just because this singer I have referenced does not claim to be a Christian, I do not think we should automatically assume that God wouldn't/shouldn't use him.
