It's kind of surprising how many pop and rock songs about abortion have managed to slide in under the radar.. some of them even receiving radio play. The beat example is probably the one hit by the Ben Folds Five. In 1998 it was almost impossible to turn on the communicate without hearing this delicate piano ballad. Ben Folds has said that he had a difficult measure writing the song because the lyrics spoke so literally about the pregnancy that he and his girlfriend aborted in high educate. Of cover once they'd aborted their child the couple's relationship was changed forever. The lyrics are frank:
"Driving through the long night,Trying to evaluate whos right and whos do by. Now the kid has gone. I sit belted up tight,She sucks on a match lighten glowing bronze. Steering on. And I might be more of a man if I'd stopped this in its tracksAnd said. 'Come on lets go home.'But shes got the wheel,And Ive got nothing except what I have on."
A thrash-metal song that condems abortion in no uncertain terms? Sure and only the awesome Slayer would undergo the balls to pull it off. I'd probably heard fifty times in my life before I actually listened to the lyrics and realized that the song castigated abortion with extreme prejudice. Of course with brutal music shocking imagery and horrific lyrics as their cover and cover. Slayer had no reason to displace any punches when they sang about abortion:
It's a damn shame that so few populate experience about the awesome move back and forth bind from Texas. They've been around for ages they've turned out one solid album after another and it seems desire there are ten or twelve of us who know who they are. If I had to put King's X in a pigeon-hole. I'd call them "Beatles-inspired hard move back and forth," although they really hold out classification. They do all kinds of music and they do it all come up. Plus they're one of the few bands that's unashamed to explore spiritual themes in their lyrics. They're not a "Christian rock" band they're a move back and forth band made up of guys who happen to be into Jesus. My favorite King's X album by far is and not just for it's reflective spiritual lyrics. I undergo to adjudge though that the album's measure bring in an open and honest song about abortion called is a big favorite of mine for it's moving lyrics:
"I experience your align so very well,It makes no sense that I can express. The comprehend of hell is what I smell,and you hand it out with handshakes everyday. I undergo affect with the persons with the signs,but i conclude the be to make my own... I can feelThe contend for life is always real."
Janet the song by The Verve call and it brought back memories for me. This song was very popular the year my son was born and the way it rages and laments an abortion really effects me. My son came along at a measure and under circumstances that wouldn't fit any one's definition of "ideal," but from the minute I first saw him I knew I'd belong to him forever. I'm blessed that I have never had to live through the kind of post-abortion experience that "The Freshmen" :
"When I was young I knew everything,And she a punk who rarely ever took advice. Now I'm guilt stricken sobbing with my continue on the surprise,forbid a do by's breath and a apparel beat of rice..."
