I think, my dear readers, I will again entreat you with a weird blog post. This time, however, I will be looking into a song I have been writing. Granted, I have not finished the song’s lyrics, I was blessed with a strong theme that I am really quite excited about. The song deals with a modified version of the biblical story of the tower of Babel.
For those of you who either do not remember or know this story, I will give a brief recap: After the Flood, God again commanded people to multiply and fill the earth. The people of the earth disobeyed Him, though, placing themselves all in one big city and building a tower “to make a name for themselves.” Seeing this, God goes down and confuses their language, forcing them to do as He originally intended.
The theme I get from this story is that of building a tower for one’s own glory. I can see that in my life all the time and I think a lot of people struggle with this. I wanted to take the idea to a new level, though, so I thought of spires (which is pretty much a really stinkin’ tall tower). I know I have often taken credit for the things I have been blessed with and let it stop there. I find myself thinking, “I really am a great guy,” or, “I’m so much better than them.” I hate these thoughts that echo in my head like a plague that is me. So a vision that came out of this thought was that of a endless megalopolis filled with huge towers scratching at the heavens. About a day later, it came to me to add a flower to this image. A craggy skyline dark in the background with a flower juxtaposed against it, looking to be as tall as them. This image really excited me, though, and I hope the song turns out as well as I hope it will.
In any case, I hope you all weren’t entirely bored out of your mind by this one. I am considering posting the lyrics to the song later, but we’ll see. If nothing, maybe you can check my Youtube channel for the actually song later on.
Farewell!
