Today's poem is one of the few enduring works of a poet and playwright who burned brightly during his heyday and then blinked out almost entirely. Happy reading.Leigh, son of James Mathews Leigh, was born in London on 29 March 1837. At an early age he engaged in literary pursuits. From time to time appeared collections of his lyrics, under the titles of Carols of Cockayne, 1869 (several editions); Gillott and Goosequill, 1871; A Town Garland: a Collection of Lyrics, 1878; and Strains from the Strand: Trifles in Verse, 1882. His verse was always fluent, but otherwise of very slender merit.For the stage he translated many French comic operas. His first theatrical essay was in collaboration with Charles Millward in a musical spectacle for the Theatre Royal in Birmingham. His ‘Falsacappa,' music by Offenbach, was produced at the Globe Theatre on 22 April 1871; ‘Le Roi Carotte' at the Alhambra on 3 June 1872; ‘Bridge of Sighs,' opera-bouffe, at the St. James's, 18 Nov. 1872; ‘White Cat,' a fairy spectacle, at the Queen's, Long Acre, on 2 Dec. 1875; ‘Voyage dans la Lune,' opera-bouffe, at the Alhambra, on 15 April 1876; ‘Fatinitza,' opera-bouffe (the words were printed), adapted from the German, at the Alhambra on 20 June 1878; ‘The Great Casimir,' a vaudeville, at the Gaiety, on 27 Sept. 1879; ‘Cinderella,' an opera, with music by J. Farmer, at St. James's Hall, on 2 May 1884 (the words were published in 1882); ‘The Brigands,' by H. Meilhac and L. Halévy, adapted to English words by Leigh, was printed in 1884. For ‘Lurette,' a comic opera, Avenue, 24 March 1883, he wrote the lyrics; and with Robert Reece he produced ‘La Petite Mademoiselle,' comic opera, Alhambra, on 6 October 1879. He edited ‘Jeux d'Esprit written and spoken by French and English Wits and Humorists,' in 1877, and wrote Mark Twain's ‘Nightmares' in 1878.His last theatrical venture—a complete failure—was ‘The Prince Methusalem,' a comic opera, brought out at the Folies Dramatiques (now the Kingsway), Great Queen Street, London, on 19 May 1883. He was a Spanish, Portuguese, and French scholar, a brilliant and witty conversationalist, and a humorous singer.He died in his rooms in Lowther's private hotel, 35 Strand, London, on 16 June 1883, and was buried in Brompton cemetery on 22 June.-bio via Wikipedia This is a public episode.

In this episode of Real Christianity, Dale Partridge walks listeners through a lecture he presented to the men at Kings Way Church. In today's digital age, traditional gatekeepers of information have been overtaken by social media platforms, resulting in an overflow of unregulated content. This flood of information has caused widespread dissemination and contributed to a pervasive sense of confusion and institutional distrust within our culture. Confusion, in this context, is merely a symptom of lacking the right information, leading to disorder and a deficit of wisdom.

Sermon Notes He said to them, “When you pray, say: “ ‘Father, hallowed be your name, your kingdom come. Give us each day our daily bread. Forgive us our sins, for we also forgive everyone who sins against us. And lead us not into temptation.’ ” - Luke 11:2-4 NIV When it’s possible: Let the Bible explain the Bible. Consider it pure joy, my brothers and sisters, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance. - James 1:2-3 NIV Trials: something that breaks the pattern of peace, comfort, joy and happiness in someone’s life. The verb form of this word means ‘to put someone or something to the test,’ with the purpose of discovering that person’s nature or that thing’s quality. - From Got Questions.org When tempted, no one should say, “God is tempting me.” For God cannot be tempted by evil, nor does he tempt anyone; but each person is tempted when they are dragged away by their own evil desire and enticed. Then, after desire has conceived, it gives birth to sin; and sin, when it is full-grown, gives birth to death. - James 1:13-15 NIV H.A.L.T. Hungry Angry Lonely Tired Temptation: comes from within but can be triggered by the Evil One. “And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one.” - Matthew 6:13 NIV The key here is to see God as your partner in this battle. Submit yourselves, then, to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. Come near to God and he will come near to you. Wash your hands, you sinners, and purify your hearts, you double-minded. - James 4:7-8 NIV ”If you then, though you are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give the Holy Spirit to those who ask him!” - Luke 11:13 NIV “When a strong man, fully armed, guards his own house, his possessions are safe. But when someone stronger attacks and overpowers him, he takes away the armor in which the man trusted and divides up his plunder.” - Luke 11:21-22NIV Jesus has already gone to battle with the Strongman holding you back, and He won! “When an impure spirit comes out of a person, it goes through arid places seeking rest and does not find it. Then it says, ‘I will return to the house I left.’” - Luke 11:24 NIV “When it arrives, it finds the house swept clean and put in order.” - Luke 11:25 NIV “Then it goes and takes seven other spirits more wicked than itself, and they go in and live there. And the final condition of that person is worse than the first.” - Luke 11:26 NIV Ridding yourself of a habit is not enough. Your life needs filled with one greater than your best! Peter replied, “Repent and be baptized, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins. And you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. The promise is for you and your children and for all who are far off—for all whom the Lord our God will call.” - Acts 2:38-39 NIV
Sermon Notes Psalm 18:19b NIV He rescued me because He delighted in me. I Peter 4:8 NIV Above all else love one another deeply, because love covers over a multitude of sins. Luke 11:4a NIV Forgive us our sins, for we also forgive everyone who sins against us. Colossians 3:13 NIV Bear with each other and forgive whatever grievances you may have against one another. Forgive just as the Lord forgave you. Luke 17:3b–4 ESV If your brother sins, rebuke him and if he repents forgive him. If he sins against you seven times in a day, and seven times comes back to you and says, ‘I repent,’ forgive him. Colossians 3:19 NASB Husbands love your wives and do not be embittered against them. Proverbs 20:5 ESV The purposes of a man’s heart are deep waters, but a man of understanding draws them out. John 5:6b NIV “Do you want to get well?” Matthew 18:34-35 NIV In anger his master turned him over to the jailers to be tortured until he should pay back all he owed. “This is how your my heavenly Father will treat each of you unless you forgive your brother or sister from your heart.” You can’t forgive from your heart until you get in touch with the pain in your heart. Psalm 139:23-24 NIV Search me, God, and know my heart; test me and know my anxious thoughts See if there is any offensive way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting. Proverbs 18:19a NIV A brother (child) wronged (offended) is more unyielding than a fortified city. Genesis 27:42b NLT “… Listen, Esau is consoling himself by plotting to kill you.” Psalm 123:3-4 NIV Have mercy on us, O Lord, have mercy on us, for we have endured no end … of ridicule from the arrogant of contempt from the proud. “When He tells us to love our enemies He gives, along with the command, the love itself.” - Corrie ten Boom, The Hiding Place I stood there – I whose sins had again and again been forgiven – and could not forgive. Betsie had died in that place. Could he erase her slow terrible death simply for the asking“? It could have been many seconds that he stood there-hand held out-but to me. It seemed like hours as I wrestled with the most difficult thing I ever had to do…I had to do it…I knew that…forgiveness is an act of the will, and the will can function regardless of the temperature of the heart. “Jesus help me!” I prayed silently. As she reached out her hand to the former guard, Corrie says that something incredible took place. “The current started in my shoulder, raced down my arm, sprang into our joined hands. And then this healing warmth seemed to flood my whole being, bringing tears to my eyes. ‘I forgive you, brother!’ I cried. ‘With all my heart!” I had never known so love so intensely, as I did then, But even then, I realized it was not my love, it was the power of the Holy Spirt.” Colossians 2:13-15 NIV God made you alive with Christ. He forgave us all our sins, having canceled the charge of our legal indebtedness, which stood against us and condemned us; he has taken it away, nailing it to the cross. And having disarmed the powers and authorities, he made a public spectacle of them, triumphing over them by the cross. 1 John 3:14 NIV We know that we have passed from death to life, because we love each other. Anyone who does not love remains in death. Ezekiel 36:26-27 NIV I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit in you; I will remove from you your heart of stone and give you a heart of flesh. And I will put my Spirit in you and move you to follow my decrees and be careful to keep my laws.
Sermon Notes Hebrews 11:6a NIV And without faith, it is impossible to please God. Sheep cannot rest if they are struggling with one of these four things: fear, hunger, friction, or predators. Luke 11:2-4 NIV "Father, hallowed be your name, your kingdom come. Give us each day our daily bread. Forgive us our sins, for we also forgive everyone who sins against us. And lead us not into temptation." Deuteronomy 8:3 NIV He humbled you, causing you to hunger and then feeding you with manna, which neither you nor your father had known, to teach you man does not live on bread alone but on every word that comes from the mouth of the Lord. He wants us to learn dependence upon him. II Chronicles 16:12 NIV In the thirty-ninth year of his reign, Asa was afflicted with a disease in his feet. Though his disease was severe, even in his illness he did not seek help from the Lord, but only from the physicians. Proverbs 30:8b-9 NIV "… give me neither poverty nor riches, but give me only my daily bread. Otherwise, I may have too much and disown you and say, ‘Who is the Lord?’ or I may become poor and steal, and so dishonor the name of my God." He wants us to be a family and to show our love for one another by being willing to sacrifice for each other. II Corinthians 9:6 NIV Remember this: Whoever sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and whoever sows generously will also reap generously. Acts 4:32 NIV All the believers were one in heart and mind. No one claimed that any of their possessions was their own, but they shared everything they had. "If today’s church does not recapture the sacrificial spirit of the early church, it will lose its authenticity, forfeit the loyalty of millions, and be dismissed as an irrelevant social club with no meaning for the twentieth century." – Martin Luther King Jr. Letter From Birmingham Jail

Sermon Notes Luke 11:1 (NIV) One day Jesus was praying in a certain place. When he finished, one of his disciples said to him, "Lord, teach us to pray, just as John taught his disciples." Luke 11:2 (NIV) He said to them, "When you pray, say: "'Father, hallowed be your name, your kingdom come. Luke 11:3-4a (NIV) Give us each day our daily bread. Forgive us our sins, for we also forgive everyone who sins against us. Luke 11:4b (NIV) "And lead us not into temptation." The early church prayed the "Our Father" three times a day (morning, noon, and night). Luke 11:2 (NIV) "When you pray, say: "'Father, hallowed be your name, your kingdom come. "Our Father. Familiar words, maybe so familiar that they are no longer real. Those words were not only real, but also revolutionary to the twelve disciples. Pagan philosophers such as Aristotle arrived at the existence of God via human reason and referred to Him in vague, impersonal terms: the uncaused cause, the immovable mover. The prophets of Israel revealed the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob in a warmer, more compassionate manner. But only Jesus revealed to an astonished Jewish community that God is truly Father." - Brennan Manning, The Furious Longing of God Luke 11:2 (NIV) "When you pray, say: " 'Father, hallowed be your name, your kingdom come. Hallowed = (Ἁγιασθήτω/Hagiasthētō) = Holy Isaiah 55:8-9 (NIV) God's holiness means God does not see the world, our sins, and our problems the way we do. "For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways," declares the LORD. "As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts. In this prayer, we see that God is both: 1) tough and tender. 2) intimate and infinite. 3) attentive and awesome. God desires both the intimacy of "Father" and the respect of "hallowed" Luke 11:5 (NIV) Then Jesus said to them, "Suppose you have a friend, and you go to him at midnight and say, 'Friend, lend me three loaves of bread; - Luke 11:6 (NIV) a friend of mine on a journey has come to me, and I have no food to offer him.' Luke 11:7 (NIV) And suppose the one inside answers, 'Don't bother me. The door is already locked, and my children and I are in bed. I can't get up and give you anything.' Luke 11:8 (NIV) I tell you, even though he will not get up and give you the bread because of friendship, yet because of your shameless audacity he will surely get up and give you as much as you need. As a good Father, God delights in meeting all your needs. Luke 11:9 (NIV) "So I say to you: Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. Luke 11:10 (NIV) For everyone who asks receives; the one who seeks finds; and to the one who knocks, the door will be opened. Luke 11:11-12 (NIV) "Which of you fathers, if your son asks for a fish, will give him a snake instead? Or if he asks for an egg, will give him a scorpion? Luke 11:13 (NIV) If you then, though you are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give the Holy Spirit to those who ask him!" "If you took the love of all the best mothers and fathers who have lived in the course of human history, all their goodness, kindness, patience, fidelity, wisdom, tenderness, strength, and love and united all those qualities in a single person, that person's love would only be a faint shadow of the furious love and mercy in the heart of God the Father addressed to you and me at this moment." - Brennan Manning, The Furious Longing of God

Luke 10:39 NIV She had a sister called Mary, who sat at the Lord's feet listening to what he said. Luke 10:40 NIV But Martha was distracted by all the preparations that had to be made. She came to him and asked, "Lord, don't you care that my sister has left me to do the work by myself? Tell her to help me!" Luke 10:41 NIV "Martha, Martha," the Lord answered, "you are worried and upset about many things, Be careful: it's easy to confuse spiritual activity for true connection. Luke 10:42 NIV "but few things are needed—or indeed only one. Mary has chosen what is better, and it will not be taken away from her." One thing is needed: Jesus First! John 12:1-2 NIV Six days before the Passover, Jesus came to Bethany, where Lazarus lived, whom Jesus had raised from the dead. Here a dinner was given in Jesus' honor. Martha served, while Lazarus was among those reclining at the table with him. John 12:3 NIV Then Mary took about a pint of pure nard, an expensive perfume; she poured it on Jesus' feet and wiped his feet with her hair. And the house was filled with the fragrance of the perfume. Jesus is worthy of our sacrifice and praise! John 12:4 NIV But one of his disciples, Judas Iscariot, who was later to betray him, objected, John 12:5-6 NIV "Why wasn't this perfume sold and the money given to the poor? It was worth a year's wages." He did not say this because he cared about the poor but because he was a thief; as keeper of the money bag, he used to help himself to what was put into it. John 12:7-8 NIV "Leave her alone," Jesus replied. "It was intended that she should save this perfume for the day of my burial. You will always have the poor among you, but you will not always have me." Heavenly Father, Your kingdom come, Your will be done, on Earth as it is in Heaven. Nothing more, nothing less, & nothing else. In Jesus' name, Amen.
Sermon Notes Luke 10:25 NIV On one occasion an expert in the law stood up to test Jesus. "Teacher," he asked, "what must I do to inherit eternal life?" Luke 10:26 NIV "What is written in the Law?" he replied. "How do you read it?" The "Law" = the Torah (the first 5 books). There are 613 laws in the Torah. Luke 10:27 NIV He answered, "'Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength and with all your mind'; and, 'Love your neighbor as yourself.'" Luke 10:28 NIV "You have answered correctly," Jesus replied. "Do this and you will live." Luke 10:29 NIV But he wanted to justify himself, so he asked Jesus, "And who is my neighbor?" Pay attention to your inner motives. Luke 10:30 NIV In reply Jesus said: "A man was going down from Jerusalem to Jericho, when he was attacked by robbers. They stripped him of his clothes, beat him and went away, leaving him half dead. Luke 10:33 NIV "But a Samaritan, as he traveled, came where the man was; and when he saw him, he took pity on him. "he took pity on him." = he felt an aching in his gut (compassion) Luke 10:34 NIV "He went to him and bandaged his wounds, pouring on oil and wine. Then he put the man on his own donkey, brought him to an inn and took care of him. To really live means to feel an ache in your gut for others that moves you into action. Luke 10:35 NIV "The next day he took out two denarii and gave them to the innkeeper. 'Look after him,' he said, 'and when I return, I will reimburse you for any extra expense you may have.'" If you want to honor Jesus, then plan to be generous with your life and resources. Last year, 44 people were sent globally; 100 were sent locally! Will God evaluate me as generous with my life and resources? Luke 10:36 NIV "Which of these three do you think was a neighbor to the man who fell into the hands of robbers?" Luke 10:37a NIV The expert in the law replied, "The one who had mercy on him." $500,000+ collected // $2,100,000 committed Luke 10:37b NIV Jesus told him, "Go and do likewise."
Church unity is difficult and takes servant-hearted sacrifice. However, Christ came as a servant, giving up privilege and glory for the sake of others – and we should follow his example.
Sermon Notes Luke 10:1 NIV After this the Lord appointed seventy-two others and sent them two by two ahead of him to every town and place where he was about to go. Luke 10:1 KJV After these things the Lord appointed other seventy also, and sent them two and two before his face into every city and place, whither he himself would come. In Genesis 10: 70 nations listed in the Masoretic Text (Hebrew and Aramaic Old Testament) 72 nations listed in the LXX (Greek Old Testament) Deuteronomy 32:7-9 NIV Remember the days of old; consider the generations long past. Ask your father and he will tell you, your elders, and they will explain to you. When the Most High gave the nations their inheritance, when he divided all mankind, he (the Most High) set up boundaries for the peoples according to the number of the sons of Israel. For the Lord's portion is his people, Jacob his allotted inheritance. Acts 17:24-28 NIV "The God who made the world and everything in it is the Lord of heaven and earth and does not live in temples built by human hands. And he is not served by human hands, as if he needed anything. Rather, he himself gives everyone life and breath and everything else. From one man he made all the nations, that they should inhabit the whole earth; and he marked out their appointed times in history and the boundaries of their lands. God did this so that they (you!) would seek him and perhaps reach out for him and find him, though he is not far from any one of us. 'For in him we live and move and have our being.' As some of your own poets have said, 'We are his offspring.' Luke 10:2 NIV He told them, "The harvest is plentiful, but the workers are few. Ask the Lord of the harvest, therefore, to send out workers into his harvest field." Jesus wants you to see yourself as sent by Him into your everyday life. Luke 10:3-4 NIV "Go! I am sending you out like lambs among wolves. Do not take a purse or bag or sandals; and do not greet anyone on the road." Luke 10:16 NIV "Whoever listens to you listens to me; whoever rejects you rejects me; but whoever rejects me rejects him who sent me." Luke 10:17 NIV The seventy-two returned with joy and said, "Lord, even the demons submit to us in your name." Luke 10:18 NIV He replied, "I saw Satan fall like lightning from heaven." Luke 10:19-20 NIV "I have given you authority to trample on snakes and scorpions and to overcome all the power of the enemy; nothing will harm you. However, do not rejoice that the spirits submit to you, but rejoice that your names are written in heaven." I saw satan fall like lightning. I saw darkness run for cover. But the miracle that I just can't get over, My name is registered in heaven. This is my testimony from death to life. Cause grace rewrote my story, I'll testify! By Jesus Christ, the Righteous, I'm justified. This is my testimony! - My Testimony, Song by Elevation Worship Acts 17:27 NIV God did this so that they would seek him and perhaps reach out for him and find him, though he is not far from any one of us. Deuteronomy 31:6 NIV Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or terrified because of them, for the Lord your God goes with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you.
Sermon Notes Luke 9:22-24 NIV And he said, "The Son of Man must suffer many things and be rejected by the elders, the chief priests and the teachers of the law, and he must be killed and on the third day be raised to life." Then he said to them all: "Whoever wants to be my disciple must deny themselves and take up their cross daily and follow me. For whoever wants to save their life will lose it, but whoever loses their life for me will save it." Luke 9:31 NIV They (Moses and Elijah) spoke about his departure (exodus), which he was about to bring to fulfillment at Jerusalem. Luke 9:43-45 NIV And they were all amazed at the greatness of God. While everyone was marveling at all that Jesus did, he said to his disciples, "Listen carefully to what I am about to tell you: The Son of Man is going to be delivered into the hands of men." But they did not understand what this meant. It was hidden from them, so that they did not grasp it, and they were afraid to ask him about it. Luke 9:51 NIV As the time approached for him to be taken up to heaven, Jesus resolutely set out for Jerusalem. Jesus' reason for existing is abundantly clear to Him: He came to bring glory to His Father by reconciling the world back to Him. Luke 19:10 NIV "For the Son of Man (Jesus) came to seek and to save the lost." Bottom Line: Putting Jesus first means arranging my priorities to match God's priorities. Luke 9:57NIV As they were walking along the road, a man said to him, "I will follow you wherever you go." Luke 9:58 NIV Jesus replied, "Foxes have dens and birds have nests, but the Son of Man has no place to lay his head." Follow Jesus no matter the cost. Luke 9:59 NIV He said to another man, "Follow me." But he replied, "Lord, first let me go and bury my father." Luke 9:60 NIV Jesus said to him, "Let the dead bury their own dead, but you go and proclaim the kingdom of God." The 10 Commandments: 1. No other gods. 2. Do not make idols. 3. Honor the name of the Lord. 4. Keep the Sabbath holy. 5. Honor your father and your mother. Follow Jesus before your family and social commitments. Luke 9:61 NIV Still another said, "I will follow you, Lord; but first let me go back and say goodbye to my family." Luke 9:62 NIV Jesus replied, "No one who puts a hand to the plow and looks back is fit for service in the kingdom of God." Follow Jesus and don't look back. 1 Kings 19:19-21 NIV So Elijah went from there and found Elisha son of Shaphat. He was plowing with twelve yoke of oxen, and he himself was driving the twelfth pair. Elijah went up to him and threw his cloak around him. Elisha then left his oxen and ran after Elijah. "Let me kiss my father and mother goodbye," he said, "and then I will come with you." "Go back," Elijah replied. "What have I done to you?" So Elisha left him and went back. He took his yoke of oxen and slaughtered them. He burned the plowing equipment to cook the meat and gave it to the people, and they ate. Then he set out to follow Elijah and became his servant. - Jesus, Matthew 6:10 "Your kingdom come, Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven." Eugene Peterson calls this "A long obedience in the same direction."
Sermon Notes Has life ever felt "dark" and made you wonder if God was real or even interested in your story? "You have made us for yourself, O Lord, and our heart is restless until it finds its rest in you." – The Confessions of St. Augustine Romans 5:1-2a NIV Therefore, since we have been justified through faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have gained access by faith into this grace in which we now stand. - Grace = unmerited favor Romans 5:1-2b NIV And we boast in the hope of the glory of God. Biblical Hope = Confident expectation that God will do what He promised us he would do. Romans 5:3-4 NIV Not only so, but we also glory in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; perseverance, character; and character, hope. Romans 5:5 NIV And hope does not put us to shame, because God's love has been poured out into our hearts through the Holy Spirit, who has been given to us. Romans 5:6 NIV You see, at just the right time, when we were still powerless, Christ died for the ungodly. What seemed to be hopeless was really just God working behind the scenes on His own time! Romans 5:8 NIV But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us. "The greatest sources of our suffering are the lies we tell ourselves. After listening to a leader share his self doubts and fears, I sometimes surprise him with a rebuke. 'You're a big stinkin' liar! Stop lying to yourself! You're neither helpless nor hopeless. Christ is in you, and He is for you!'" - Alan Ahlgrim, Soul Strength: Rhythms for Thriving
Sermon Notes Three rules of being an elf: Treat every day like Christmas. There's room for everyone on the nice list. The best way to spread Christmas cheer is singing loud for all to hear. Love Each Other: We value and serve one another by showing love and care. We assume the best, trust each other, and work through conflict and disagreements quickly, with grace and truth. Today, we are getting our joy back. "Christian joy is a good feeling in the soul, produced by the Holy Spirit, as he causes us to see the beauty of Christ in the word and in the world." – John Piper Galatians 5:16-17 NIV So I say, walk by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the flesh. For the flesh desires what is contrary to the Spirit, and the Spirit what is contrary to the flesh. They are in conflict with each other, so that you are not to do whatever you want. Galatians 5:19-21 NIV The acts of the flesh are obvious: sexual immorality, impurity and debauchery; idolatry and witchcraft; hatred, discord, jealousy, fits of rage, selfish ambition, dissensions, factions and envy; drunkenness, orgies, and the like. I warn you, as I did before, that those who live like this will not inherit the kingdom of God. Galatians 5:22-26 NIV But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law. Those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires. Since we live by the Spirit, let us keep in step with the Spirit. Let us not become conceited, provoking and envying each other." Joy gives you power. God's Joy gives you strength. Buddy suffered. We all suffer. Jesus suffered. Hebrews 12:1-3 NIV Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles. And let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us, fixing our eyes on Jesus, the pioneer and perfecter of faith. For the joy set before him he endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God. Consider him who endured such opposition from sinners, so that you will not grow weary and lose heart. Hebrews 11:39-40 NIV These were all commended for their faith, yet none of them received what had been promised, since God had planned something better for us so that only together with us would they be made perfect. Hebrews 12:1-3 NIV Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles. And let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us, fixing our eyes on Jesus, the pioneer and perfecter of faith. For the joy set before him he endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God. Consider him who endured such opposition from sinners, so that you will not grow weary and lose heart. 1. Treat every day like it's Easter. 2. There's room for everyone in the Book of Life. 2 Peter 3:8-9 NIV But do not forget this one thing, dear friends: With the Lord a day is like a thousand years, and a thousand years are like a day. The Lord is not slow in keeping his promise, as some understand slowness. Instead he is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance. 3. The best way to spread Christmas cheer, is singing loud for our Lord to hear.
Filmmaker Bruce Sweeney and actors Gabrielle Rose, Camille Sullivan, and Jeff Gladstone swing by the YVR Screen Scene Podcast to talk about She Talks To Strangers, their smart and crowd-pleasing black comedy currently screening up at the 2023 Whistler Film Festival. Camille is Leslie, a single woman who happily shares her life with her favourite being on the planet, an Australian Shepherd named John. Leslie has a strained relationship with her mother, Staci (that's Gabrielle, playing Camille's mom for the third time), with whom she has to bargain in order to take care of John. One day, after hearing some mysterious sounds coming from the basement suite, Leslie discovers that her deadbeat ex-husband, Keith – that's Jeff – has moved in “to lie low for a while,” and – well, we're a #nospoiler zone here on the YVR Screen Scene Podcast, so we'll just say that hilarity ensues (which is no surprise given that this is the team that brought us the equally brilliant Kingsway). In this special Saturday drop, Bruce, Gabrielle, Camille, and Jeff talk behind-the-scenes shenanigans (which include cream of mushroom soup and freezers), true crime podcasts, and being ride-or-die for Vancouver stories.

Sermon Notes Luke 9:22 NIV And he said, "The Son of Man (Jesus) must suffer many things and be rejected by the elders, the chief priests and the teachers of the law, and he must be killed and on the third day be raised to life." Luke 9:23 NIV Then he said to them all: "Whoever wants to be my disciple must deny themselves and take up their cross daily and follow me." Luke 9:27 NIV "Truly I tell you, some who are standing here will not taste death before they see the kingdom of God." Luke 9:28 NIV About eight days after Jesus said this, he took Peter, John and James with him and went up onto a mountain to pray. Luke 9:29 NIV As he was praying, the appearance of his face changed, and his clothes became as bright as a flash of lightning. Prayer and breakthrough go hand-in-hand. Luke 9:30-31 NIV Two men, Moses and Elijah, appeared in glorious splendor, talking with Jesus. They spoke about his departure, which he was about to bring to fulfillment at Jerusalem. Moses is the great leader and prophet who brought the Law. Elijah was the great prophet who represented all other prophets. Those who die with faith in Jesus are very much alive right now. John 11:25 NIV Jesus said to her, "I am the resurrection and the life. The one who believes in me will live, even though they die;" Luke 9:32-33 NIV Peter and his companions were very sleepy, but when they became fully awake, they saw his glory and the two men standing with him. As the men were leaving Jesus, Peter said to him, "Master, it is good for us to be here. Let us put up three shelters—one for you, one for Moses and one for Elijah." (He did not know what he was saying.)" Prayer is often needed most when you are most weary. Luke 9:34 NIV While he was speaking, a cloud appeared and covered them, and they were afraid as they entered the cloud. Luke 9:35-36 NIV A voice came from the cloud, saying, "This is my Son, whom I have chosen; listen to him." When the voice had spoken, they found that Jesus was alone. The disciples kept this to themselves and did not tell anyone at that time what they had seen. The breakthrough you are looking for comes from a constant connection to God in prayer. Mark 9:28-29 NIV After Jesus had gone indoors, his disciples asked him privately, "Why couldn't we drive it out?" He replied, "This kind can come out only by prayer."
Sermon Notes When the storms of life hit hardest, the Church shines brightest! Luke 9:18-19 NIV Once when Jesus was praying in private and his disciples were with him, he asked them, "Who do the crowds say I am?" They replied, "Some say John the Baptist; others say Elijah; and still others, that one of the prophets of long ago has come back to life." Luke 9:20 NIV "But what about you?" he asked. "Who do you say I am?" Peter answered, "God's Messiah." Matthew 16:17-19 NIV Jesus replied, "Blessed are you, Simon son of Jonah, for this was not revealed to you by flesh and blood, but by my Father in heaven. And I tell you that you are Peter, and on this rock I will build my church, and the gates of Hades will not overcome it. I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven; whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven." Church (ekklesia) - the gathering of the called-out ones. "Gathering" implies movement and activity. Gates of Hades - the abode (house) of the dead. Every believer has been called out to plunder life from the grips of death! Luke 9:21-22 NIV Jesus strictly warned them not to tell this to anyone. And he said, "The Son of Man must suffer many things and be rejected by the elders, the chief priests and the teachers of the law, and he must be killed and on the third day be raised to life." Luke 9:23-24 NIV Then he said to them all: "Whoever wants to be my disciple must deny themselves and take up their cross daily and follow me. For whoever wants to save their life will lose it, but whoever loses their life for me will save it." Luke 9:25 NIV "What good is it for someone to gain the whole world, and yet lose or forfeit their very self?" Luke 9:26 NIV "Whoever is ashamed of me and my words, the Son of Man will be ashamed of them when he comes in his glory and in the glory of the Father and of the holy angels." How can I deny myself and find true life? Our Mission is to become like Jesus by living out our Growth Path: Go - who do you know that needs the transforming love of Christ? Connect - imagine a group of people helping each other through life's ups and downs. Give - radical generosity is what shows the world we believe we are blessed to be a blessing. Serve - is the way we show the world we believe we are not here on accident. Mark 10:45 NIV "For even the Son of Man (Jesus) did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many."
Sermon Notes Luke 8:8 NIV "Still other seed fell on good soil. It came up and yielded a crop, a hundred times more than was sown." When he said this, he called out, "Whoever has ears to hear, let them hear." Luke 8:18 NIV "Therefore consider carefully how you listen. Whoever has will be given more; whoever does not have, even what they think they have will be taken from them." Luke 8:8 NIV Still other seed fell on good soil. It came up and yielded a crop, a hundred times more than was sown." When he said this, he called out, "Whoever has ears to hear, let them hear." Jesus believes my transformed life will produce more life. Luke 8:26 NIV They sailed to the region of the Gerasenes, which is across the lake from Galilee. Luke 8:27 NIV When Jesus stepped ashore, he was met by a demon-possessed man from the town. For a long time this man had not worn clothes or lived in a house, but had lived in the tombs. Demonic possession is where an evil spirit takes over the thoughts, actions, and decision-making of a human. It happens but is rare. Demonic oppression is where a person, even a Christian, is tormented or tempted by an evil spirit. James 4:1-2 NIV What causes fights and quarrels among you? Don't they come from your desires that battle within you? You desire but do not have, so you kill. You covet but you cannot get what you want, so you quarrel and fight. You do not have because you do not ask God. James 4:7-8a NIV Submit yourselves, then, to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. Come near to God and he will come near to you. "There are two equal and opposite errors into which our race can fall about the devils. One is to disbelieve in their existence. The other is to believe, and to feel an excessive and unhealthy interest in them." – C.S. Lewis, The Screwtape Letters Luke 8:28 NIV When he saw Jesus, he cried out and fell at his feet, shouting at the top of his voice, "What do you want with me, Jesus, Son of the Most High God? I beg you, don't torture me!" Luke 8:29 NIV For Jesus had commanded the impure spirit to come out of the man. Many times it had seized him, and though he was chained hand and foot and kept under guard, he had broken his chains and had been driven by the demon into solitary places. Jesus relentlessly pursues those who need him most. Luke 8:34 NIV When those tending the pigs saw what had happened, they ran off and reported this in the town and countryside, Be bold while sharing your story. Luke 8:35 NIV And the people went out to see what had happened. When they came to Jesus, they found the man from whom the demons had gone out, sitting at Jesus' feet, dressed and in his right mind; and they were afraid. Luke 8:36 NIV Those who had seen it told the people how the demon-possessed man had been cured. Luke 8:37 NIV Then all the people of the region of the Gerasenes asked Jesus to leave them, because they were overcome with fear. So he got into the boat and left. Luke 8:38-39 NIV The man from whom the demons had gone out begged to go with him, but Jesus sent him away, saying, "Return home and tell how much God has done for you." So the man went away and told all over town how much Jesus had done for him. Romans 10:14-15 NIV How, then, can they call on the one they have not believed in? And how can they believe in the one of whom they have not heard? And how can they hear without someone preaching to them? And how can anyone preach unless they are sent? As it is written: "How beautiful are the feet of those who bring good news!"
Sermon Notes Luke 8:5a NIV "A farmer went out to sow his seed. As he was scattering the seed,…" 1) "some fell along the path; it was trampled on, and the birds ate it up." – Luke 8:5b NIV 2) "Some fell on rocky ground, and when it came up, the plants withered because they had no moisture." – Luke 8:6 NIV 3) "Other seed fell among thorns, which grew up with it and choked the plants." – Luke 8:7 NIV 4) "Still other seed fell on good soil. It came up and yielded a crop, a hundred times more than was sown." – Luke 8:8a NIV When (Jesus) said this, he called out, "Whoever has ears to hear, let them hear." – Luke 8:8b NIV Luke 8:11-12 NIV "This is the meaning of the parable: The seed is the word of God. Those along the path are the ones who hear, and then the devil comes and takes away the word from their hearts, so that they may not believe and be saved." Luke 8:13 NIV "Those on the rocky ground are the ones who receive the word with joy when they hear it, but they have no root. They believe for a while, but in the time of testing they fall away." Luke 8:14 NIV "The seed that fell among thorns stands for those who hear, but as they go on their way they are choked by life's worries, riches and pleasures, and they do not mature." Luke 8:15 NIV "But the seed on good soil stands for those with a noble and good heart, who hear the word, retain it, and by persevering produce a crop." "To retain or restrain" the word of God means to hold fast, keep secure, or even in the opposite sense, it can mean to "restrain" it and not let it escape from you. James 1:22 NIV Do not merely listen to the word, and so deceive yourselves. Do what it says. "… by persevering, produce a crop." hupomoné = a remaining under, a patient endurance (endure under…) James 1:12 NIV Blessed is the one who perseveres under trial because, having stood the test, that person will receive the crown of life that the Lord has promised to those who love him. What was the last thing the Lord told you to do? Have you done it? Luke 8:22 NIV One day Jesus said to his disciples, "Let us go over to the other side of the lake." So they got into a boat and set out. Mark 4:36a NIV "Leaving the crowd behind, they took (Jesus) along, just as he was, in the boat." Jesus is inviting the disciples into a bigger story than they had ever imagined possible. Luke 8:23 NIV As they sailed, he fell asleep. A squall came down on the lake, so that the boat was being swamped, and they were in great danger. Luke 8:24 NIV The disciples went and woke him, saying, "Master, Master, we're going to drown!" He got up and rebuked the wind and the raging waters; the storm subsided, and all was calm. Luke 8:25 NIV "Where is your faith?" he asked his disciples. In fear and amazement they asked one another, "Who is this? He commands even the winds and the water, and they obey him." A crisis of faith occurs when you realize the storm you're with is bigger than the storm you're in. "If you live a long time, eventually your body will give out, and you'll die. And maybe it will happen sooner – through an earthquake, a fire, or some other disaster. Nature is violent and overwhelming – it's unmanageable power, and it's going to get you sooner or later. You may say, that's true, but if I go to Jesus, he's not under my control either. He lets things happen that I don't understand. He doesn't do things according to my plan, or in a way that makes sense to me. But if Jesus is God, then he's got to be great enough to have some reasons to let you go through things you can't understand. His power is unbounded, but so are his wisdom and his love" – Timothy Keller, Jesus the King: Understanding the Life and Death of the Son of God Sometimes, the purpose of the storm is to prune your life for more effectiveness.
Dare you join Mark Rees and a team of paranormal investigators for an "as-live" spine-tingling ghost hunt in Wales? Nos Calan Gaeaf - as Halloween is known in the Welsh language - is the perfect time of year for ghost stories and, of course, ghost hunting. The "most haunted" location for this year's eerie exploration is a live music venue in the heart of Swansea city centre just off the Kingsway that has never featured on a recorded investigation before. The Bunkhouse is a bar where members of staff have long spoken of unexpected supernatural encounters, in recent times and under former names stretching back through the decades, where strange reports speak of uncanny sounds, eerie chills, and all manner of phenomenon in the cellar. For this paranormal investigation, which was recorded live by Mark, you can expect updates, interviews, and recordings of mysterious events if and when they unfold. Joining him are the filmmaker Ant Jones, Sarah and Leanne from Cymru Paranormal, Bunkhouse business owner Jordan McGuire, and tackling his first ghost hunt, cultural writer Chris Carra from Planet Health. Explore the lore with Mark Rees (Ghosts of Wales) on the Ghosts and Folklore of Wales podcast... if you dare! Happy Halloween and Nos Calan Gaeaf hapus!
The Rich Zeoli Show- Hour 3: Leaked audio captures Representative Sheila Jackson Lee (D-TX)—a candidate for Mayor of Houston—berating a staffer in an incredible, profanity filled rant. During introductions for a press conference touting “Bidenomics,” President Joe Biden accidentally introduced himself to the press instead of allowing a staffer to handle pre-planned introductions. In an editor's note released on Monday, The New York Times conceded that their reporting on an October 17thexplosion at a hospital in Gaza relied “too heavily on claims made by Hamas.” You can read the editor's note here: https://www.nytimes.com/2023/10/23/pageoneplus/editors-note-gaza-hospital-coverage.html In a message posted to the social media platform X, James O'Keefe writes: “A school district in New Jersey has been socially transitioning students behind parent's backs, according to email and video obtained exclusively by OMG. Kingsway Regional School District in Kingsway, New Jersey, has adopted a ‘tiered' policy for classifying students who want to transition without their parent's knowledge. ‘I had one of my students reach out to me about their preferred name for next year. Do we know how we can input their name into Genesis without it being visible by families?' states an email from School counselor Fallon Corcoran to counselor Michael Schiff, referencing Genesis, a student database. A source within the school recorded Fallon stating, ‘I am not calling home...everything we talk about stays between us.' According to emails obtained to OMG, Kingsway Regional has developed a tiered ranking system to classify students. Students in the second tier are allowed to use the gender and name of their choice, and that information is kept from parents. In one email we obtained, a teacher or school counselor writes that they ‘heard from [redacted] student over the summer with questions about sharing her preferred name and pronouns with teachers but does not want her family to be aware.' We reached out to Kingsway Regional Superintendent James Lavender, who said the policy was handed down to the district by the New Jersey department of education.” You can watch the video associated with the message here: https://x.com/JamesOKeefeIII/status/1714443734157316227?s=20 House majority whip Tom Emmer is viewed by many as the frontrunner to win the Republican nomination for speaker. However, a decade ago, Emmer was an advocate for implementing a national popular vote—ostensibly eliminating the electoral college. Does this past advocacy disqualify him from the speakership?
The Rich Zeoli Show- Full Episode (10/23/2023): 3:05pm- In a new editorial, center-left writer Matthew Yglesias argues that retail theft has become professionalized. Though progressive Democrats like Representative Alexandria Ocasio Cortez argue that shoplifting is done by the needy, Yglesias contends that narrative is inaccurate—with most retail theft being the result of criminals simply seeking an expedient way to attain money. The Washington Post notes that many cities are becoming “pharmacy deserts” with drugstore chains closing in major cities as a result of unchecked thefts. You can read Yglesias's full article here: https://www.slowboring.com/p/taking-retail-theft-seriously. And you can read more about pharmacy deserts here: https://www.washingtonpost.com/business/2023/10/22/drugstore-close-pharmacy-deserts/ 3:15pm- While appearing on Meet the Press with Kristen Welker, Secretary of State Antony Blinken answered questions about potential Iranian involvement in Israel's fight against Hamas terrorists, explaining: “we expect that there is a likelihood of escalation—escalation by Iran proxies directed at our forces.” 3:30pm- While speaking with Jonathan Karl on ABC News, Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin warned about potential escalation in the Middle East as Iranian-backed proxies begin to involve themselves military—even targeting U.S. forces stationed in the region. 3:45pm- During Monday's White House press briefing, National Security Council Coordinator for Strategic Communications John Kirby was asked how the Biden Administration can guarantee that American aid provided to Gaza won't unintentionally end up in the hands of Hamas.

Kingsway Regional School District in Kingsway, New Jersey, has adopted a ‘tiered' policy for classifying students who want to transition without their parent's knowledge. ‘I had one of my students reach out to me about their preferred name for next year. Do we know how we can input their name into Genesis without it being visible by families?' states an email from School counselor Fallon Corcoran to counselor Michael Schiff, referencing Genesis, a student database. A source within the school recorded Fallon stating, ‘I am not calling home...everything we talk about stays between us.' According to emails obtained to OMG, Kingsway Regional has developed a tiered ranking system to classify students. Students in the second tier are allowed to use the gender and name of their choice, and that information is kept from parents. In one email we obtained, a teacher or school counselor writes that they ‘heard from [redacted] student over the summer with questions about sharing her preferred name and pronouns with teachers but does not want her family to be aware.' We reached out to Kingsway Regional Superintendent James Lavender, who said the policy was handed down to the district by the New Jersey department of education.” You can watch the video associated with the message here: https://x.com/JamesOKeefeIII/status/1714443734157316227?s=20 5:50pm- House majority whip Tom Emmer is viewed by many as the frontrunner to win the Republican nomination for speaker.

Sermon Notes Text "MARRIAGE" to 317.565.4911 Grow Always: We are always learning and growing. We don't have everything it takes, but He does. We humbly and intentionally ask for help and feedback so we can be better. Proverbs 9:8-9 NIV Do not rebuke mockers or they will hate you; rebuke the wise and they will love you. Instruct the wise and they will be wiser still; teach the righteous and they will add to their learning. Every family has toxic moments. It's how we handle the toxicity that determines if we are healthy or not. Proverbs 18:1-2 NIV An unfriendly person pursues selfish ends, and against all sound judgment starts quarrels. Fools find no pleasure in understanding but delight in airing their own opinions. Proverbs 27:15-16 NIV A quarrelsome wife is like the dripping of a leaky roof in a rainstorm; restraining her is like restraining the wind or grasping oil with the hand. Proverbs 27:17 NIV As iron sharpens iron, so one person sharpens another. "The rift isn't as important as the repair." - April Bordeau, Care to Change Proverbs 19:11 NIV A person's wisdom yields patience; it is to one's glory to overlook an offense. James 5:16 NIV Therefore confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous person is powerful and effective. God gave us two ears and one mouth. Use them proportionately. James 1:19 NIV My dear brothers and sisters, take note of this: Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak and slow to become angry, James 1:20 NIV because human anger does not produce the righteousness that God desires. Step 1: Empathetically hear them to understand. You will know you've heard them when: a. They are done speaking (don't interrupt). b. You think you understand what they are saying. c. You think you understand why they are saying it. Step 2: Put yourself in their shoes, and affirm their thoughts, ideas, and/or feelings. a. Use "wow" before "how". Ex. Wow, I had no idea I was making you feel that way. Wow, that must be really hard for you… I'm so sorry) b. Reflect back to them what you heard them say. Ex. It sounds like you are really irritated when I…", or "it sounds like you are really missing having a connection with me." c. If you find you misunderstood, go back to step 1 and listen some more. Step 3: Seek resolution on how to move forward. a. How can I help you? b. What can I do differently next time? c. Is there anything I can do to make this right?

Sermon Notes Sex was created by God to be a bonding experience so powerful that two separate things could become one through this moment. Genesis 2:24 NIV That is why a man leaves his father and mother and is united to his wife, and they become one flesh. – God Mark 10:8-9 NIV "and the two will become one flesh.' So they are no longer two, but one flesh. Therefore what God has joined together, let no one separate." – Jesus Ephesians 5:31 NIV "For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two will become one flesh." – Apostle Paul Sex is beautifully designed by God to foster oneness in marriage. 1 Corinthians 6:16 NIV Do you not know that he who unites himself with a prostitute is one with her in body? For it is said, "The two will become one flesh." "Kathy and I were virgins when we married. Even in our day, that may have been the minority experience, but that meant that on our wedding night we were not in any position to try to impress or entice one another. All we were trying to do was to tenderly express with our bodies the oneness we had first begun feeling as friends and which had then had grown stronger and deeper as we fell in love. Frankly, that night I was clumsy and awkward and fell asleep anxious and discouraged. Sex was frustrating at first. It was the frustration of an artist who has in his head a picture or a story but lacks the skills to express it." – Timothy and Kathy Keller, The Meaning of Marriage In Song of Solomon: The wife speaks first, the wife speaks last, and the wife speaks most, EXCEPT when it comes to the moment when they make love. Song of Songs 4:1 NIV How beautiful you are, my darling! Oh, how beautiful! Your eyes behind your veil are doves. Your hair is like a flock of goats descending from the hills of Gilead. Song of Songs 4:2 NIV Your teeth are like a flock of sheep just shorn, coming up from the washing. Each has its twin; not one of them is alone. Song of Songs 4:3 NIV Your lips are like a scarlet ribbon; your mouth is lovely. Your temples behind your veil are like the halves of a pomegranate. Song of Songs 4:4 NIV Your neck is like the tower of David, built with courses of stone; on it hang a thousand shields, all of them shields of warriors. Song of Songs 4:5 NIV Your breasts are like two fawns, like twin fawns of a gazelle that browse among the lilies. Song of Songs 4:6 NIV Until the day breaks and the shadows flee, I will go to the mountain of myrrh and to the hill of incense. Song of Songs 4:7 NIV You are altogether beautiful, my darling; there is no flaw in you. Song of Songs 4:9 NIV You have stolen my heart, my sister, my bride; you have stolen my heart with one glance of your eyes, with one jewel of your necklace. Song of Songs 4:10 NIV How delightful is your love, my sister, my bride! How much more pleasing is your love than wine, and the fragrance of your perfume more than any spice! Song of Songs 4:11 NIV Your lips drop sweetness as the honeycomb, my bride; milk and honey are under your tongue. The fragrance of your garments is like the fragrance of Lebanon. Song of Songs 4:12 NIV You are a garden locked up, my sister, my bride; you are a spring enclosed, a sealed fountain. Song of Songs 4:13-14 NIV Your plants are an orchard of pomegranates with choice fruits, with henna and nard, nard and saffron, calamus and cinnamon, with every kind of incense tree, with myrrh and aloes and all the finest spices. Song of Songs 4:15 NIV You are a garden fountain, a well of flowing water streaming down from Lebanon. Song of Songs 4:16 NIV Awake, north wind, and come, south wind! Blow on my garden, that its fragrance may spread everywhere. Let my beloved come into his garden and taste its choice fruits. Both the groom and the bride are giving the other what they desire in this moment. "With sex, we were trying to be vulnerable to each other, to give each other the gift of bare-faced rejoicing in one another, and to know the pleasure of giving one another pleasure. And as the weeks went by, and then the years, we did it better and better. Yes, it means making love sometimes when one or even both of you are not "in the mood." But sex in a marriage, done to give joy rather than to impress, can change your mood on the spot. The best sex makes you want to weep tears of joy, not bask in the glow of a good performance." - Timothy and Kathy Keller, The Meaning of Marriage Song of Songs 5:1a NIV I have come into my garden, my sister, my bride; I have gathered my myrrh with my spice. I have eaten my honeycomb and my honey; I have drunk my wine and my milk. Song of Songs 5:1b NIV Eat, friends, and drink; drink your fill of love. Are you being a selfless lover to your spouse in your marriage? If not, why? Is there any area where you need to ask God to heal your heart, soul, mind, or body related to sex? Is there any change you sense God is telling you to make in your approach to sex? Ask Him for the courage to do that.

Sermon Notes "A fine wedding is pricey, but a fine marriage is priceless." – Dr. David Jeremiah, What the Bible Says About Love, Marriage, and Sex Song of Songs 3:6 NIV Who is this coming up from the wilderness like a column of smoke, perfumed with myrrh and incense made from all the spices of the merchant? Song of Songs 3:7 NIV Look! It is Solomon's carriage, escorted by sixty warriors, the noblest of Israel, Carriage = "mittah" (מִטָּה) = a couch or a bed. Song of Songs 3:8 NIV All of them wearing the sword, all experienced in battle, each with his sword at his side, prepared for the terrors of the night. The groom is going out of his way to make sure his soon-to-be bride feels safe. Genesis 2:18 NIV The Lord God said, "It is not good for the man to be alone. I will make a helper suitable for him." Helper Suitable = ezer kə·neḡ·dōw Genesis 2:19-20 NIV Now the Lord God had formed out of the ground all the wild animals and all the birds in the sky. He brought them to the man to see what he would name them; and whatever the man called each living creature, that was its name. So the man gave names to all the livestock, the birds in the sky and all the wild animals. But for Adam no suitable helper was found. Genesis 2:21-22 NIV So the Lord God caused the man to fall into a deep sleep; and while he was sleeping, he took one of the man's ribs and then closed up the place with flesh. Then the Lord God made a woman from the rib he had taken out of the man, and he brought her to the man. Genesis 2:23 NIV The man said, "This is now bone of my bones and flesh of my flesh; she shall be called 'woman,' for she was taken out of man." Genesis 2:24 NIV That is why a man leaves his father and mother and is united to his wife, and they become one flesh. Genesis 2:25 NIV Adam and his wife were both naked, and they felt no shame. Genesis 3:16 NIV To the woman he said, "I will make your pains in childbearing very severe; with painful labor you will give birth to children. Your desire will be for your husband, and he will rule over you." "Eve is deceived...and rather easily, as my friend Jan Meyers points out. In The Allure of Hope, Jan says, "Eve was convinced that God was withholding something from her." Not even the extravagance of Eden could convince her that God's heart is good. "When Eve was [deceived], the artistry of being a woman took a fateful dive into the barren places of control and loneliness." Now every daughter of Eve wants to "control her surroundings, her relationships, her God." No longer is she vulnerable; now she will be grasping. No longer does she want simply to share in the adventure; now she wants to control it. And as for her beauty, she either hides it in fear and anger, or she uses it to secure her place in the world. "In our fear that no one will speak on our behalf or protect us or fight for us, we start to recreate both ourselves and our role in the story. We manipulate our surroundings so we don't feel so defenseless." Fallen Eve either becomes rigid or clingy. Put simply, Eve is no longer simply inviting. She is either hiding in busyness or demanding that Adam come through for her; usually, an odd combination of both." - John and Stasi Eldredge, Captivating 1 Peter 3:7 NIV Husbands, in the same way be considerate as you live with your wives, and treat them with respect as the weaker partner and as heirs with you of the gracious gift of life, so that nothing will hinder your prayers. Men, are you honoring your bride in your words and actions toward her, and also privately when she is not in the room? Song of Songs 3:9 NIV King Solomon made for himself the carriage; he made it of wood from Lebanon. Carriage = “appiryon” (אַפִּרְיוֹן) a sedan, litter, palanquin Song of Songs 3:10 NIV Its posts he made of silver, its base of gold. Its seat was upholstered with purple, its interior inlaid with love. Daughters of Jerusalem, Song of Songs 3:11 NIV come out, and look, you daughters of Zion. Look on King Solomon wearing a crown, the crown with which his mother crowned him on the day of his wedding, the day his heart rejoiced.

Sermon Notes "Every Christian has the same primary calling or vocation: We are called to Jesus, by Jesus, and for Jesus. Our first call is to love him with our whole being and to love our neighbor as ourselves. Biblical writers use many analogies to describe our relationship with God (shepherd/sheep, master/slave, parent/child), but marriage is perhaps the most comprehensive and "least inadequate." - Peter Scazzero, The Emotionally Healthy Leader Mark 2:18 NIV Now John's disciples and the Pharisees were fasting. Some people came and asked Jesus, "How is it that John's disciples and the disciples of the Pharisees are fasting, but yours are not." Mark 2:19-20 NIV Jesus answered, "How can the guests of the bridegroom fast while he is with them? They cannot, so long as they have him with them. But the time will come when the bridegroom will be taken from them, and on that day they will fast." Jesus is the groom; the church is His Bride. Revelation 21:2 NIV I saw the Holy City, the new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride beautifully dressed for her husband. "Throughout the history of the church, Christians have tended to elevate the importance of one over the other. For the first 1,500 years of the church, singleness was considered the preferred state and the best way to serve Christ. Singles sat at the front of the church. Marrieds were sent to the back. Things changed after the Reformation in 1517, when single people were sent to the back and marrieds moved to the front — at least among Protestants." - Peter Scazzero, The Emotionally Healthy Leader 1 Corinthians 7:32 NIV I would like you to be free from concern. An unmarried man is concerned about the Lord's affairs—how he can please the Lord. 1 Corinthians 7:33-34 NIV But a married man is concerned about the affairs of this world—how he can please his wife— and his interests are divided. An unmarried woman or virgin is concerned about the Lord's affairs: Her aim is to be devoted to the Lord in both body and spirit. But a married woman is concerned about the affairs of this world—how she can please her husband. 1 Corinthians 7:35 NIV I am saying this for your own good, not to restrict you, but that you may live in a right way in undivided devotion to the Lord. "Scripture, however, refers to both statuses as weighty, meaningful vocations." - Peter Scazzero, The Emotionally Healthy Leader Ephesians 5:25-28 NIV Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her to make her holy, cleansing her by the washing with water through the word, and to present her to himself as a radiant church, without stain or wrinkle or any other blemish, but holy and blameless. In this same way, husbands ought to love their wives as their own bodies. He who loves his wife loves himself. Matthew 19:11-12 NIV Jesus replied, "Not everyone can accept this word, but only those to whom it has been given. For there are eunuchs who were born that way, and there are eunuchs who have been made eunuchs by others—and there are those who choose to live like eunuchs for the sake of the kingdom of heaven. The one who can accept this should accept it." Born that way Made this way by others Make a choice for the sake of the Kingdom of Heaven Marriage is intended to be a math equation where: 1 whole person + 1 whole person = 1 New Person 1 Corinthians 7:8-9 NIV Now to the unmarried and the widows I say: It is good for them to stay unmarried, as I do. But if they cannot control themselves, they should marry, for it is better to marry than to burn with passion. "Vowed celibates. These are individuals who make lifelong vows to remain single and maintain lifelong sexual abstinence as a means of living out their commitment to Christ. They do this freely in response to a God-given gift of grace (Matthew 19:12). Today, we are perhaps most familiar with vowed celibates as nuns and priests in the Roman Catholic or Orthodox Church. These celibates vow to forgo earthly marriage in order to participate more fully in the heavenly reality that is eternal union with Christ." - Peter Scazzero, The Emotionally Healthy Leader “Dedicated celibates. These are singles who have not necessarily made a lifelong vow to remain single, but who choose to remain sexually abstinent for as long as they are single. Their commitment to celibacy is an expression of their commitment to Christ. Many desire to marry or are open to the possibility. They may have not yet met the right person or are postponing marriage to pursue a career or additional education. They may be single because of divorce or the death of a spouse." - Peter Scazzero, The Emotionally Healthy Leader 1 Corinthians 7:17, 24 NIV Nevertheless, each person should live as a believer in whatever situation the Lord has assigned to them, just as God has called them. This is the rule I lay down in all the churches… Brothers and sisters, each person, as responsible to God, should remain in the situation they were in when God called them. 1 Corinthians 7:29-31 NIV What I mean, brothers and sisters, is that the time is short. From now on those who have wives should live as if they do not; those who mourn, as if they did not; those who are happy, as if they were not; those who buy something, as if it were not theirs to keep; those who use the things of the world, as if not engrossed in them. For this world in its present form is passing away.
Sermon Notes Song of Songs 2:8 NIV Listen! My beloved! Look! Here he comes, leaping across the mountains, bounding over the hills. We are 25 verses in, with at least 18 compliments and not one harsh word. Song of Songs 2:9 NIV My beloved is like a gazelle or a young stag. Look! There, he stands behind our wall, gazing through the windows, peering through the lattice. Song of Songs 2:10 NIV My beloved spoke and said to me, "Arise, my darling, my beautiful one, come with me." Song of Songs 2:11-12 NIV "See! The winter is past; the rains are over and gone. Flowers appear on the earth; the season of singing has come, the cooing of doves is heard in our land." Song of Songs 2:13 NIV "The fig tree forms its early fruit; the blossoming vines spread their fragrance. Arise, come, my darling; my beautiful one, come with me." Song of Songs 2:14 NIV My dove in the clefts of the rock, in the hiding places on the mountainside, show me your face, let me hear your voice; for your voice is sweet, and your face is lovely. How are your words and actions building up the one you love? Song of Songs 2:15 NIV Catch for us the foxes, the little foxes that ruin the vineyards, our vineyards that are in bloom. "It's the slow leaks, not the blow outs; the insidious pests we seldom even consider that cut away at the heart of a home until it crumbles and two people end up walking away." - Charles Swindoll, Strike the Original Match Dating is for the purpose of discovering the kind of person you want to spend the rest of your life with. "If you do not allow yourself to rush into falling for someone that you have not become friends with first, you will be more sure when you let yourself go to the next step. Certainly, you might find yourself having all sorts of feelings. Enjoy them. But do not believe them. Only believe your experience of getting to know a person and seeing if you can share at a deep level. See if you find that he or she is a person of the kind of character you would trust as a friend. And as important as all of that, see if that person is a person that you would like spending time with if there were no romance at all. That is the one true measure of a friend, a person with whom you like to spend time, having no regard to how you are spending it. "Hanging out" is fulfilling in and of itself. And that, long-term, requires character, and in the deepest of friendships, shared values as well. You would want your best friends to be honest, faithful, deep, spiritual, responsible, connecting, growing, loving, and the like. Make sure that those qualities are also present in the person you are falling in love with." - Dr. Henry Cloud, Boundaries in Dating Song of Songs 2:16-17 NIV My beloved is mine, and I am his; he browses among the lilies. Until the day breaks and the shadows flee, turn, my beloved, and be like a gazelle or like a young stag on the rugged hills. A relationship is ready to get to the serious stage when you have seen their worst days, and still feel totally safe with them emotionally, relationally, physically, and historically. "A person who truly loves you should be able to handle the full truth about you. I met a man who fell in love with, courted, and married a young woman who had once been the "pass around" girl in her college. She had been through twenty or more sexual affairs during her college days. By the time she met the man she later married, she had come to her senses, committed her life to the Lord, and was deeply embarrassed about her past. Nevertheless, she confessed her past to her husband. She wanted no secrets between them. What was his response? He wept openly for the pain and grief she had suffered. He rejoiced that she had come to Christ. His love for her increased because he saw the transformation in her life as both a miracle from God and an act of courage on her part. He became her protector, loving her in a way that gave her a genuine shield against the world." – Tommy Nelson, The Book of Romance Song of Songs 3:1-3 NIV All night long on my bed I looked for the one my heart loves; I looked for him but did not find him. I will get up now and go about the city, through its streets and squares; I will search for the one my heart loves. So I looked for him but did not find him. The watchmen found me as they made their rounds in the city. "Have you seen the one my heart loves?" "The image of this young lady walking the night streets by herself is one that emphasizes her solitude, her loneliness without Solomon. Marriage provides the security to deal with issues, and to do so as a team. The dream is helping her understand how much she needs that security." – Dr. David Jeremiah Song of Songs 3:4-5 NIV Scarcely had I passed them when I found the one my heart loves. I held him and would not let him go till I had brought him to my mother's house, to the room of the one who conceived me. Daughters of Jerusalem, I charge you by the gazelles and by the does of the field: Do not arouse or awaken love until it so desires. When both people feel heard, safe, loved, built-up, pursued, and desired – physical intimacy is the natural outcome.
Sermon Notes How do you know if you found "the one"? One of the beauties of early relationships is the pursuit of the other person. Song of Songs 1:9 NIV I liken you, my darling, to a mare among Pharaoh's chariot horses. Song of Songs 1:10 NIV Your cheeks are beautiful with earrings, your neck with strings of jewels. Song of Songs 1:11 NIV We will make you earrings of gold, studded with silver. Song of Songs 1:12 NIV While the king was at his table, my perfume spread its fragrance. Song of Songs 1:13 NIV My beloved is to me a sachet of myrrh resting between my breasts. Song of Songs 1:14 NIV My beloved is to me a cluster of henna blossoms from the vineyards of En Gedi. Song of Songs 1:15 NIV How beautiful you are, my darling! Oh, how beautiful! Your eyes are doves. All of this intense pursuit and conversation back and forth creates the perfect scenario for explosive passion! Song of Songs 1:16 NIV How handsome you are, my beloved! Oh, how charming! And our bed is verdant. Song of Songs 1:17 NIV The beams of our house are cedars; our rafters are firs. Song of Songs 2:1 NIV I am a rose of Sharon, a lily of the valleys. Song of Songs 2:2 NIV Like a lily among thorns is my darling among the young women. Song of Songs 2:3 NIV Like an apple tree among the trees of the forest is my beloved among the young men. I delight to sit in his shade, and his fruit is sweet to my taste. "The woman felt completely safe in Solomon's presence: "I sat down in his shade with great delight, and his fruit was sweet to my taste" (Song 2: 3). She was entirely at ease with Solomon. She experienced no threatening or unsettling moments in his presence. The apostle Paul told us that a man should nourish and cherish his wife. (See Eph. 5: 29.) The woman experienced that in their premarital relationship. In his "shade," she was cherished. By his "fruit," she was nourished. And note: this must start before marriage. Never trust a future mate to do a turnaround after marriage." - Tommy Nelson, The Book of Romance: What Solomon Says About Love, Sex, and Intimacy What would happen in your relationship today if you were to use your words to make the other feel totally safe? Song of Songs 2:4 NIV Let him lead me to the banquet hall and let his banner over me be love. Song of Songs 2:5-6 NIV Strengthen me with raisins, refresh me with apples, for I am faint with love. His left arm is under my head, and his right arm embraces me. Song of Songs 2:7 NIV Daughters of Jerusalem, I charge you by the gazelles and by the does of the field: Do not arouse or awaken love until it so desires. The same God who created a passion for marriage also created the power for restraint until it's time. 2 Timothy 1:7 NIV For the Spirit God gave us does not make us timid, but gives us power, love, and self-discipline. James 4:4b-5 NIV Therefore, anyone who chooses to be a friend of the world becomes an enemy of God. Or do you think Scripture says without reason that he jealously longs for the spirit he has caused to dwell in us? James 4:6 NIV But he gives us more grace. That is why Scripture says: "God opposes the proud but shows favor to the humble." James 4: 7-8 NIV Submit yourselves, then, to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. Come near to God and he will come near to you. Wash your hands, you sinners, and purify your hearts, you double-minded. James 4:9-10 NIV Grieve, mourn, and wail. Change your laughter to mourning and your joy to gloom. Humble yourselves before the Lord, and he will lift you up. Father in Heaven, I know you are here with me. I know you love me. I know you want what is best for me, and I believe that all your ways are good. I have not always resisted temptation when I knew I should. I have sinned against you, and I confess this to you. I ask you to forgive me, heal me, and take away my sin in the name of Jesus I pray. Amen
Sermon Notes Is it better to choose your spouse or trust your family? Song of Songs 1:1 NIV "Solomon's Song of Songs." Song of Songs 1:2 NIV Let him kiss me with the kisses of his mouth — for your love is more delightful than wine. – The Woman 2 Corinthians 13:12 NIV Greet one another with a holy kiss. Song of Songs 1:3 NIV Pleasing is the fragrance of your perfumes; your name is like perfume poured out. No wonder the young women love you! "Choose to be attracted to a person who is living out faith in an active, vibrant way — a true follower and disciple of the Lord Jesus Christ, not just an occasional churchgoer." — Tommy Nelson, The Book of Romance: What Solomon Says About Love, Sex, and Intimacy Are you known as a person of Godly character? "So often today, girls will say about a guy, "He's a real hunk." The question begs to be asked, "A hunk of what?" There is nothing wrong with being handsome and appealing, but the real issue is not whether a man is good-looking but whether a man is looking for what is good in God's eyes. Nothing is more discouraging for a woman than to be married to a man whom she discovers later she would not want as a waiter." — Tommy Nelson, The Book of Romance: What Solomon Says About Love, Sex, and Intimacy Genesis 24:12-14 NIV Then he prayed, "Lord, God of my master Abraham, make me successful today, and show kindness to my master Abraham. See, I am standing beside this spring, and the daughters of the townspeople are coming out to draw water. May it be that when I say to a young woman, 'Please let down your jar that I may have a drink,' and she says, 'Drink, and I'll water your camels too'—let her be the one you have chosen for your servant Isaac. By this, I will know that you have shown kindness to my master." When was the last time you prayed for your spouse and trusted God was working on it for you? Genesis 24:15-21 NIV Before he had finished praying, Rebekah came out with her jar on her shoulder… The woman was very beautiful, a virgin; no man had ever slept with her. She went down to the spring, filled her jar and came up again. The servant hurried to meet her and said, "Please give me a little water from your jar." "Drink, my Lord," she said, and quickly lowered the jar to her hands and gave him a drink. After she had given him a drink, she said, "I'll draw water for your camels too, until they have had enough to drink." So she quickly emptied her jar into the trough, ran back to the well to draw more water, and drew enough for all his camels. Without saying a word, the man watched her closely to learn whether or not the Lord had made his journey successful. Look for a spouse whose words and actions line up. Be cautious when they don't. Song of Songs 1:5-6 NIV Dark am I, yet lovely, daughters of Jerusalem, dark like the tents of Kedar, like the tent curtains of Solomon. Do not stare at me because I am dark, because I am darkened by the sun. My mother's sons were angry with me and made me take care of the vineyards; my own vineyard I had to neglect. Song of Songs 1:7 NIV Tell me, you whom I love, where you graze your flock and where you rest your sheep at midday. Why should I be like a veiled woman beside the flocks of your friends? Do NOT be willing to compromise on your convictions! Song of Songs 1:8 NIV If you do not know, most beautiful of women, follow the tracks of the sheep and graze your young goats by the tents of the shepherds. Look for a spouse who supports and honors you like Jesus does His children. Psalm 78:52-53 NIV But he brought his people out like a flock; he led them like sheep through the wilderness. He guided them safely, so they were unafraid…

We'd love to see you there. 0:02:02 - Speaker 1For months leading up to the release of the hip's fifth studio long play, i felt a palpable sense of mystery about what the band was going to do next. One day that feeling became a reality as I logged into my York email from the hip instructing me to visit a URL. At the URL was a long road leading to a horizon and a bolt of lightning flashed through the desert sky. What the hell was this, i wondered out loud to my friends. To them, though, this was just another hip record, but to me this was an album coming from a band that was white-hot at its apex or so it seemed at the time and poised to make something memorable. I was intrigued and delighted when May 14th 1996, rolled around and I opened the beautiful gatefold CD with the mysterious cover I say mysterious because I can't say for sure if the dog on the front is the menace or the hero Thanks yawning or snarling. At any rate, from the opening strains of Gift Shop through the last notes of Put It Off, i was musically stoned. This album was like hash, putting me into a body buzz that I couldn't explain with words if I tried. That was my experience with this record. What was your experience, and do we have any idea at this point what Pete and Tim might think? Now we've also thrown a curveball at you because we've got a special guest on this episode, and that's Dan from London. What will he think? Let's get right to it on this episode of Getting Hip to the Hip. Long Slice Brewery Presents Getting Hip to the Hip. If you've ever wondered to yourself what it would sound like if two people who had never heard of the Tragically Hip before got taken on a tour through their discography in chronological order. well, it's not going to sound something like this, because today we have three people. We have a special guest, that's right. I am proud to introduce you to Dan from London. Dan, how's it going? 0:04:55 - Speaker 6Good, all good down here. Even the sun is out today. 0:05:00 - Speaker 1Oh, the sun is sort of out here, but it's cold. It's very cold, and I'm joined by my usual cohorts, pete and Tim from Portland. How you doing fellas? I'm doing good, i'm great, you know Just awesome. 0:05:19 - Speaker 7Dan has been sunnier there since the Queen pass. That's what I heard. 0:05:24 - Speaker 6No, No, the whole place is in decline at the moment. Put it that way. 0:05:32 - Speaker 2If things are not good. I thought you were going to say since Harry and Meghan left. Oh, thank you. 0:05:42 - Speaker 6Listen, listen, I am not a royalist, so don't ask me anything about any of that. It's not my concern. 0:05:49 - Speaker 2Me too, dude. I do not follow that crap at all. And people are just like did you see the thing with the, with Harry's? And I'm like who the fuck has time to follow that shit? No, really, dude. 0:06:03 - Speaker 1A lot of people apparently. Yeah, apparently. My sister, my sister, it's a whole industry for having sex, you know. 0:06:14 - Speaker 2It's like, it's like Disney, when they I don't know if you know the pin people. No. I don't know what Disney is personally. 0:06:24 - Speaker 7Well, yeah well there, yeah, there's a. 0:06:27 - Speaker 2I mean, because I grew up 15 minutes from Disney. My guys, right, but they have these pins. They're like you know those. you know those If he was my babysitter Yeah. It was actually actually, actually Donald was, but that's no. there's. there's pins that people keep like lapel pins And like you know, i don't know, And like there's like this weird subculture of people who collect these pins and trade them and like, like you can go into a store at Disney and ask them to trade one of your pins. It's very, it's like furry level. No Punks to anybody listening who's a furry? 0:07:11 - Speaker 1Not that that's, yeah, there was hopper audience. Thanks, trying to get furry. We're huge in the furry huge in the furry, in the furry demo. Oh man. Well, today we are here to discuss the band's fifth full length LP. It came out May 14th 1996. I remember it well because it was like my third year of university and we had a computer lab and the hip were one of the first bands I remember that had like a website and they had this ominous picture of a road with a lightning bolt at the end of it and trouble at the henhouse coming soon, you know, and it was like wow, i cannot wait for this record. This is going to be so good because it was coming off, you know, such a triumvirate of records road apples, then fully completely, then day for night which I adored as a teenager. So this record was highly anticipated by me. But I wasn't sure what to expect, given the sharp turn from fully completely and day for night. What was it going to be? another sharp turn? Was it going to be more of the same? Was it going to be a subtle difference? I didn't have a clue And I'm curious. This one Dan will be for just him and Pete, because they've been doing project from the go. I'm just curious what your initial thoughts were on the record in that regard. 0:08:53 - Speaker 7Or no, it was Pete's favorite, So I'm just going to click commute and take a little nap, go ahead. 0:09:01 - Speaker 2Pete, Oh, I thought you were asking Dan first. Dan, where do you go? Well, just to start off all music, that website, you pulled those ratings from JD. 0:09:18 - Speaker 1Yeah, they butchered it. Fuck those people dude. Two out of five. I didn't look it up, oh yeah, two out of five They can go. 0:09:28 - Speaker 2Yeah, i mean disgusting. This is the record that I love so much And, to be honest with you, this last week, listening to it, i even come to love it way more than I loved it before. I don't want to. I don't want to. You know, spoil the spoil the porridge, just chat, because I got a lot when we go song to song. But this fucking album made me not just be thankful that JD has allowed us to be on this journey with him, but made me really like this morning, when I was writing some notes, i was like God damn, i feel so ashamed. I never saw this band live. It's like I remember I had a chance to see David Bowie before he passed away and I blew it. I didn't do it, i just was like, eh, you know, and then he dies. That's painful, it's like this. I feel ashamed. They never saw this band live. So I mean, this record means a lot to me. 0:10:39 - Speaker 1It's very loose, fitting right. It is like live sounding And I think they recorded a lot of it. you know, again, this is the first record they recorded while they recorded it at the Kingsway again, which is where they recorded Day for Night. But they also in the interim had built a studio in a town just outside Kingston called Bath And this was the first thing that they released to us, that we got to hear that was done in that Bath studio. So there's that. 0:11:21 - Speaker 7Yeah. I felt it had, you know, next level all the way around. I think it was just the next level All the way around. Sound production I'm always, like I've said, talking about the drummer in the bass guitarist working together, and this one was next level. I think this album was really good. It was similar sentiments as you, pete, you know, with the live comment. That's happening to me more and more for sure, because there's a couple songs on here where I thought maybe as a recorded track, this one, i'd rather hear life. You know that happens. 0:11:59 - Speaker 1That kind of happens. Make sure to point those out when we get there. 0:12:03 - Speaker 7Yeah, yeah, yeah, for sure. 0:12:05 - Speaker 1Yeah, all right. so, dan, this is your. this is your first taste of the Tragically Hub. Yeah, and I'm wondering how you approached it. 0:12:17 - Speaker 6based on that, there's no approach Just listen and listen and listen and just see what forms, see what grows. I mean, i had initial impressions and then a lot of those just completely transformed. Yeah, so the journey isn't it which an album should be, but it is difficult not having a reference point with the band and the previous work And even things like you know where, where would they are in their career at this point. you know how big word A and again is. this, is this? I don't know. is this, is this a sort of offbeat turn for the band or not? I don't know. 0:12:55 - Speaker 1Oh, that's interesting Oh you can you, can you can answer a question from a previous podcast, because I was going to say, to quantify you know your your comment the record did six times platinum in Canada, which is 600,000 copies In America. Six times platinum would be 6 million copies. Is the system the same in the UK? Like did they talk about? like platinum gold, yeah, so diamond, all that shit, yeah. 0:13:27 - Speaker 6But, but as you say, i think, isn't it sort of like economies of scale? So doesn't it be based on the population, i don't know Or does it base itself on world? why, i don't know you know. 0:13:40 - Speaker 1That's why I don't, that's why I don't know, like in the UK, what's platinum? do you know? How many records do you have to sell? 0:13:47 - Speaker 6I've never sold that many records, i can tell you. 0:13:51 - Speaker 1Oh God, i don't know, we'll have to look at it, okay, yeah, again, if anybody knows info at fully and completely dot ca, that would be cool to put a put a button in this subject. Any other comments? 0:14:08 - Speaker 7The picture for us? did Yeah, yeah, it's for Dan, did you? can you paint the picture for us? Did you like listen on headphones at home, or kind of what was your, what was your first listen scenario? 0:14:18 - Speaker 6Okay, commutes to work basically here. So a lot of this has been on the road And then when I ran out of time towards the end of the week, a lot of it from home as well. But I much more appreciated listening to this on the road, and for me that is on the brand new section of London underground, the Elizabeth line, and you know that starts off going through a real, you know, urban landscape past the Olympic Park before descending into tunnels. So I get that. You know I get a subterranean vibe going on as well as passing through urban stuff. But a lot of it was great for, yeah, just traveling, especially passing through the rain, you know, yeah sure, sure Cool. 0:15:04 - Speaker 1I know that commute, dan, that's so cool You do. Well, shall we crack open this record and put on side one? 0:15:17 - Speaker 7Yeah, yeah, let's do it Yeah. 0:15:19 - Speaker 1All right, we open with the very spacious and vibey opening track. This is similar to day for night. You know an opening track that is almost built to be played live, like it just sounds like. It sounds like it almost is live. In a sense It's gift shop. Who wants to go first? I'll go. 0:15:51 - Speaker 7So I saved this album for a car ride and then it didn't listen to it again. I listened to the whole thing on two car rides and then it listened to it again until I took the Amtrak from train from Portland to Seattle. So, dan, it was, it was fun to listen to, like you did on the train. I thought this one. The first time I heard this one I thought it felt danceable, like I was happy, like it's, it's got this tempo to it, like toad happened, like it was just sounded like a good, positive opener. Yet it's like Blake, it's kind of a Blake song. So that juxtaposition to me was fucking awesome. I was like, damn there, this span reels you in and can pull you apart in a couple of different ways at the same time. The who does the synth work for them, the synthesizer, and this one's really cool. 0:16:48 - Speaker 1It's interesting. I don't know the answer to that And if I look on the, if I look on the wiki page, it's got like the band listing and it doesn't have any additional band play. I could get out the liner notes and yeah, but I but I don't know offhand. 0:17:06 - Speaker 7Yeah. 0:17:06 - Speaker 1I mean, there's great right. 0:17:08 - Speaker 7Yeah, but there's and also there's like a minute and a half build up, which I love, you know. so this, this was a banger of a of a start off. I was happy. 0:17:21 - Speaker 1Nice Yeah. What did you think? 0:17:26 - Speaker 6Yeah. so as an opener I mean it's good, It's a builder. I mean you know good, moody, atmospheric star, and then, yeah, you've got that sort of growth, that little step up into the second verse and then it goes into like the you know, fully fulfilled chorus, basically because you've already heard a downplayed chorus before. And then, yeah, from that point on it it's just going, it's great And it really feels like it's going to lead you into something next. And I like the guitar work at the end as well. He almost slidey, sort of sustained. that tricks you into thinking the guitar's going into reverse on a few occasions. Lovely. 0:18:07 - Speaker 2Cool Pete I mean, what a fucking, what an opener Dude. I mean I put myself in the in the camp of like, if I was a, if I was a young hit fan and this was just coming out and, having heard the previous records being excited, this is the record store and then just this, being the first track on the record, will lose my shit. The line. The pendulum swings when that hits. It's just fucking. And I listened to it on because I have this record courtesy of Mr JD, had this record on vinyl And so my wife's got a pretty sweet turntable that we run through. I wouldn't say it's, it's, it's, it's. It sounds really good, but listening to it in the car, listening to it on headphones, there's that oscillating. You, tim, you said it was a, was a synth, but I don't know if there. Maybe it works for that. I thought maybe there were other parts of like a guitar effect that was like this A lot of these weird guitar effects that I that. 0:19:17 - Speaker 7I yeah, yeah, that's what really layered in on this one. 0:19:22 - Speaker 2Yeah, a lot of them. And then there's like a bop that I wrote bop, bop, da bop bop. I can't remember a melody of it, but just a little something towards the end of the song. Some backup, just just yeah it's a great song, yeah, but what is wrong? And it was a single too. 0:19:43 - Speaker 7So, but I was a little nervous. I was. I was, you know, hoping Dan wouldn't be like guys. I stopped at this one. I just can't do it anymore because, I have to tell you the first, the first couple albums that you know, there were times where both Pete and I were like fuck, all the fans listening to this are going to think we're fucking assholes, you know. But so so at the start of this one I was like let's keep going. The horse is out the gate. 0:20:12 - Speaker 6Yeah, it's just opinions. We're not killing anybody with this, surely? And don't call me surely? 0:20:26 - Speaker 1Um we live, to survive our paradoxes. Springtime in Vienna. 0:20:33 - Speaker 9Springtime in Vienna. Springtime in Vienna. Springtime in Vienna.

It's a cool record. 0:30:50 - Speaker 1It's a cool record. It was on the. They played New Orleans, the Synchon, and in the middle they started playing this little jam and the lyrics went as follows So like vulgar, vulgar, vulgar, put some, put some coins in the swear jar, gord, and you know, tweak this song into something that became the biggest single in Canadian history. That's got to be why they played it last, that's got to be why. But you are right, it does stump you that. The last lyric is disappointing. You's getting me down. Oh boy, that shivers down my spine. 0:32:06 - Speaker 2Pete, what were you thinking of this one? I wrote down that line to the melody line. The guitar I love the half step flat that he does. It's kind of strange on the ear, it just lands right with me. And then the vongos, the percussion. When the drums come in after the rain falls, it just Yeah, i don't know that it's Oh, it just got buzzed, man again. Anyway, i love the song. I thought it was fantastic. The last thing I'll say is that the melody line that's when the horn had stung me. That melody is just fucking so good. God damn, i wish that guy was still alive So they would see him alive. Man, sorry, i'd say. 0:33:19 - Speaker 1Mr Dan. 0:33:20 - Speaker 6Yeah, i can't really improve on much that Pete said. I mean it's, um, it's lush, you know it's, it's. It's a beautiful little track and it builds up in the right places. And, as you say, rain falls in real time. When that kicks in, i mean that's like, isn't that like kind of almost like halfway through the verse, you know? so it's another time to kick in, But when it does it's, it's emphasizing what it needs to do, and I just love technicalities like that. I think that's why I love most of the first side of this album. It's, it's full of little things like that, you know, little formal technicalities that are in the background that just get in there to build things up. But I say I had such a hard time getting past this track. This is the one that just firmly embedded itself and made me come back to this album for more, you know, but I just it's just hard to get past that track, but eventually I did, which is good news for all of us. 0:34:16 - Speaker 1Well say keep, keep. Keep the wagon real rolling then and tell us what you thought. I don't like daddy. 0:34:23 - Speaker 6Okay. So following on by yeah from that, which is the best selling single, Yeah, you'd want something that does well. And yeah, don't wait, daddy, doesn't disappoint. Yeah, Space is opening. I love all of the base on this as well. I'm not so keen on the, you know kind of the sort of slower, don't wait, daddy section, But it has its place And I just, I just love yeah, every everything else. I mean the lyrics again are fantastic. Again, the bass at the end is a really nice sort of kind of base bend in there really, with the whole, you can stuff your void of your astronaut Asteroid. Yeah, And the. I think the lyrics to this are great as well. There's some, there's some key lyrics in here as well. I like it, Love the pace. I think it's great. 0:35:29 - Speaker 1Wicked Yeah. Any other lyrical faves in this one Pete for you. 0:35:37 - Speaker 2I can concur with Dan. I like the, the chorus itself. I didn't see how don't wait, daddy, fit in, but I fucking love the song. You can stuff your void with an asteroid, That part when he goes really high. There's a part when he says you're, you're damned as he whispers it. 0:36:04 - Speaker 1Yes, It's just, and then it doesn't he go, doesn't he whisper it and then, and then it's right after that. Yeah, yeah, yeah. 0:36:15 - Speaker 2It's a fucking great band. The baseline to your there's. There's a lot of amazing bass work on this record, but this is the first song where I was like whoa. Okay. Everybody, everybody's clearly starting to master their instrument in this band at this point, am I? 0:36:38 - Speaker 6they're not just fucking you know a bar band anymore. 0:36:45 - Speaker 8Clearly. 0:36:45 - Speaker 7Yeah, jd, is this. is this truly the Kurt Cobain, song? Is this the one? In what regards sorry. Is it this song kind of have the heavy reference to Kurt Cobain's passing? 0:36:58 - Speaker 1Oh, absolutely, i mean that lyric that lyric off the top, like just imagine, just imagine the, the I don't even know the word the imagination to come up with a concept. You know that, like Kurt Cobain reincarnated is like a sled dog somewhere in the tundra, you know, Sighing and still sighing though, And then licking his face. Just what great imagery. And then I don't know how much the rest of the song is Exactly about, about Kurt Cobain, but it's got another one of my favorite lyrics in it as well, which is you teach your children some fashion sense, And they fashioned some of their own, And I fucking love that. I just love that. 0:38:05 - Speaker 7Yeah, i don't have any more to say. I think everybody has said it all It's a good, it's a good heavy one And it's there's a good gore. Fade out of even his singing, you know, like disappearing off into nothing. 0:38:20 - Speaker 6Yeah, good, good. The final lyric is sing to end all songs. To end all songs, which is again in itself as a paradoxical bit of madness. Yeah, it's great. 0:39:16 - Speaker 9And then I don't know how much the rest of the song is Don't play daddy, don't play daddy, don't play daddy, don't play daddy, don't play daddy. You can scalp your boy in the air, stirrionettes hurtling toward the air. You can drop the bomb at the stores of town when promises reverse. Don't play daddy, don't play daddy. It's the perfect time now for a plentiful joy. They're all asleep by pastels. It's time to hear your voice. I sing to end all songs, to end all songs. I sing to end all songs, to end all songs, which is again in itself as a paradoxical bit of madness. Don't play daddy. Yeah, thanks a lot. 0:43:34 - Speaker 1Well, tim, do you want to kick off Flamenco? 0:43:38 - Speaker 7Flamenco, slow, quiet, kind of this politically dark, gorgeous song, i like to sweep the air and weave the sky. Stamp for feet for everyone. If I ever have to tell one of my sons that you might need to prostitute to teach how to take a compliment, i mean, there's a hell of a line right there. Oh, my God, this song, for being, you know, a number five, slow one, which I think fits well in the cadence of what's going on so far, yeah, i like it. That has a place for sure. 0:44:24 - Speaker 2Pete Hi JD, you know I love this song. I still haven't completed the cover of this song that I was working on, but I just love this song. I think that's probably one of the coolest signs to Tim. you're right, it's so. it's so cool, it's so unique. I would say a million things about this song but just like when you go back to the first record, you can't. it's like having a child that's born on the day it's born and then immediately fast forwarding and not imagining that the child's going to one day grow up and be, you know, this amazing, influential person or cure cancer, or like an amazing whatever the hell. And like that's where we're at right now, because this song is just from what we started out, in my opinion. Damn it, i keep getting buzz man. I'm sorry. 0:45:32 - Speaker 1I don't know where I'm coming from. 0:45:32 - Speaker 2I think it's this mic. I think I have a problem with this mic, If there's something that's uh. 0:45:41 - Speaker 1I'll get it when I edit. I'll get it, though, because I'll be editing your track and I'll get all of what you got. 0:45:46 - Speaker 2Yeah, well, it's what I'm hearing, but anyway, good, good point. It's not what I'm saying Yeah. 0:45:55 - Speaker 1I love special mics. I record what you're hearing. 0:45:59 - Speaker 2Okay, yeah. 0:46:03 - Speaker 1Special act. 0:46:05 - Speaker 2You're like our government. Um, it's a great song. How do you how? 0:46:10 - Speaker 7I have to ask, pete, how does JD know how much you love the song? Do you guys call each other up and do you play it for him, usually late at night? What's going on between you guys? 0:46:23 - Speaker 1I'm on the 15th floor and one day I looked down and there was Pete with a ghetto blaster. And I was like and I was like turn it up, stupid. I'm on the 15th floor. 0:46:41 - Speaker 2Well, and I mean Flamenco music is the is the dominating genre of music. that in great tone. 0:46:50 - Speaker 1It's the dominating genre of music where I met, So that's probably what drew me to the song first was just the name you know Well, every year on the tragically hip fully and completely feed, we do a pod list and all these great tragically hip cover bands submit songs And I release that usually May long weekend. So because we released this new show May long weekend this year, i'll have to push that back and make it a birthday pod list or something like that. We'll see. We'll see how we play it out. 0:47:32 - Speaker 6But yeah, Flamenco, fucking dynamite right there, yeah, just you know, with just coming back to this song, It's, i don't know This is, this is one that I need to listen to more. I think it's just one that's kind of got lost on me. I haven't got that many notes on it. You know it's, it's, it's just weird. I don't know what I'm, what I'm, what I'm missing on this song. You know where this song gets lost on me, so can you guys explain what you love about the song? 0:48:08 - Speaker 2The, the nature of the song being. Because if you listen like I'm, tim Hads as well, obviously the previous records there's nothing, there's nothing remotely close to this type of song with the keyboards, the melody, the lyrics, the, the phrasing, which he's super unique As far as somebody who phrases their lyrics. But there's nothing like it. It's so not even left field. It's not the same. You know that Jules Winfield line? not the same fucking sport, it's not even the same. It's not even close to anything they've ever done. It's just different. So it's for me it makes me want to like listen more intently and be like what the hell are they doing? What are they thinking? This is not like what they do. 0:49:02 - Speaker 7You know, i just I just thought of fit as part of their evolution, of all the albums we've heard so far. If I would have heard something like this in an earlier album you know, song post five it might have felt like it was a little bit more, it might have felt a little more unusual, but to me, for the era you know, this was what was it 96? 96. Yeah, for the style of music coming out then and a lot of bands having these slower quiet songs, you know, even even some of the harder grunge bands were still doing slower quiet songs. It wasn't always my favorite thing, but this one just fit in the fit in the peg. well, for the slot. I didn't have a ton of notes either, dan. I just thought, you know, let's keep moving. The songs are working still. Let's keep going. 0:49:51 - Speaker 1And to me, like I'll comment, I just think it's one of his greatest lyrical achievements, Like I just that line alone. You know, maybe a prostitute could teach you how to take a compliment, But then the way he phrases it like it's so strange. So if you, you know, if you write it out like, but it just works, And Yeah, I really appreciate that. 0:50:20 - Speaker 2You know, you asked Dan another thing, just to give you a little bit more context too, at least for me and JD. You alluded to it right there. As simple as the song sounds, it's not at all simple. It's one of those things like tapping your stomach and rubbing your belly and tapping your head or whatever. That seems easy, but it's not. The tempo of that song and playing it on like a guitar is odd. The phrasing is really odd. To try to sing it you'd have to sing it exactly like he does, otherwise you can't find where the words go. There's no. Do you know what I'm saying, dan? Like it's-. 0:51:10 - Speaker 6No, I completely understand that. yeah, Yeah, there you go. I'll go back and listen to that with that in mind. 0:51:16 - Speaker 1yeah, Maybe we'll check in with you later on in the season. 0:51:22 - Speaker 7Maybe Pete'll show up and serenade him, who knows? 0:51:29 - Speaker 1Pete has to feel about Yeah, okay, Yeah how'd you feel about 700 foot ceiling, Pete? This was a single. 0:51:35 - Speaker 2I really liked the guitar work, which was just random like no rules. I thought the bridge was a little strange in the song. Wouldn't be my first choice of it. I'm just kind of the way they approached it. The this note is on a lot of songs on this record, but I definitely got some Alanis vibes on this, the Overdub vocals, a lot of what she did on the first track on Jagged Little Pill what I really want, i think Maybe that's not the first track anyway Really cool. Love the ending I would say probably of all the songs, and I love this record. My least favorite song on the record, perhaps one of the- Cause. 0:52:34 - Speaker 3The other ones are just like everything else he typed in first. 0:52:39 - Speaker 1Well, we were on try to ride, though too right, like almost the full side of the record that is-. Yeah, yeah, that is. You know there's not like. You can definitely put that side on and rest easy. Dan's nodding his head. So what do you have to say about that young man? 0:52:59 - Speaker 6Yeah, it's a bit of a banger, isn't it? Straight from the get-go? good, as we were saying, that guitar stuff, great, kind of bendy sort of riff as well. But in my notes I've got nothing. Nothing is overplayed here, everything's just right, you know. But when he's doing the whole seven foot ceiling bit, the guitar really holds back and it's almost like a sort of you know, intentional sort of drop out which you know gives it a completely different vibe. But then you get the whole it's part hard bit with, as you were saying, all of the backing singing, which is just fantastic. Yeah, that really, i don't know, just kicks into another dimension as well. But with this I can't get into the lyrics. The lyrics don't like. They seem quite throwaway for this and I don't really get any kind of visualization of scenes or anything. I mean the references to Flood in. I mean, what is all that about? 0:53:55 - Speaker 1Well, yeah, it's definitely like Flood in the Ice is like to build like an ice rink, So like somebody's building an ice rink that you could skate on and play ice hockey likely, you know, out in the middle of the woods somewhere. So it's, the water is sort of got that darkened color from the birch, from the bark that has fallen off the trees and colored the water a little bit. So there's a nice visual there, right Like. but if you, if you're not vibing it, then it flies right over your head, Like you said, and it can sound very throwaway. I don't think this is his strongest lyrical effort on the record by any stretch, but I'm not ready to say it's throwaway either, you know. 0:54:39 - Speaker 7Guys, i thought this one it almost had kind of a celebratory start like song one. but I agree, pete, like the guitar seems like maybe it was mixed in too many times after the guys were done recording. It's kind of a winter angry song, so it made it feel kind of like a staple single for the hip. Just, you know, didn't didn't grab me or pull me in any direction, whether good or bad, was just like okay, this song six feels kind of like maybe a little bit of filler song. Let's keep moving and see what's next on the album. That's how it felt for me. 0:55:18 - Speaker 1So then you're flipping the record over and you're getting butt-swiggling. To start ["Sweet Sound of Patent Approval"]. 0:55:39 - Speaker 8The sweet sound of patent approval coming down in a not quite far Sweet sound of patent approval coming down in powdery sparks. The sweet sound of patent approval coming down with holiday concern. The sweet sound of patent approval coming down in a world of hurt. In my opinion, the drug is ready. In my opinion, the drug is ready. The warm hand of abject approval coming down with throaty veins. The warm hand of abject approval coming down to the fingerboard. In my opinion, the drug is ready. In my opinion, the drug is ready. In my opinion, the drug is ready. ["sweet Sound of Patent Approval"]. ["sweet Sound of Patent Approval"]. The cold-eyed constant approval coming down to freeze the blood. The cold-eyed constant approval coming down to look real close. In my opinion, the drug is ready. In my opinion, the drug is ready. In my opinion, the drug is ready. In my opinion, the drug is ready. In my opinion, the drug is ready. 0:59:02 - Speaker 1["sweet Sound of Patent Approval"]. And, if I'm not mistaken, butz Wigglin. Yes, butz Wigglin comes from the Kids in the Hall, brain Candy. When the Kids in the Hall released their feature film Brain Candy, this song was the not the theme song, but it was the featured song in the film. I'm guessing it was written after having seen Brain Candy and knowing roughly what it's about. Not able to tell you right now because my memory is so poor, but I can see bits and pieces And I'm guessing they wrote it after having watched you know, watched the movie because of the subject matter. Did you get into the subject matter at all, or did you just get into the song, or did you not get into the song? Where were you, dan? 1:00:06 - Speaker 6Yeah, not totally into it. I mean, the contrast between the verses in the chorus is, you know, the verses are all pretty noodly and a bit weird and then it's a very distinctive chorus And it just doesn't kind of work for me. It just doesn't feel cohesive. I mean, i don't mind it, you know, i'm not saying it's bad, but for me, yeah, it doesn't sound fully formed. 1:00:38 - Speaker 1You've heard better on the record, right, yeah, at this point. Yeah, yeah, you've got some context. 1:00:43 - Speaker 6We've come from a greater place than this on the record so far. 1:00:46 - Speaker 1Yeah, yeah. 1:00:49 - Speaker 7Tim, for all those reasons, i liked this one. Oh, okay, i like that. Yeah, like I. I heard that too. I heard that too You went out. 1:01:03 - Speaker 2Tim, you went out. I didn't hear it, like I could barely hear you, and then I just I got zapped. Sorry guys. 1:01:15 - Speaker 8I was in love with it. 1:01:17 - Speaker 7I promise I'll continue with this one. Did anyone hear Lou Reed on this song? Come on, no, i can Go back and listen and think about Lou Reed singing this song because it's there. But this song to me has kind of this locomotive just trying to get the engine going and it struggles a little bit. But I like that about it. It's more raw, like there's this intermittent keyboards in there that seem kind of out of pace with it. Honestly, it reminds me of Paintman a little bit, because it's just scrappy. And oh, let's add this in Does this song have enough? I don't know. Like it just felt different than their other songs. There was just more. It was a little more chaotic, whereas the songs on this album so far seemed pretty polished. I like the ending. You know I like this one. This one caught me off guard and it was maybe briefly, with kind of the Lou Reed reference. Oh, you guys got to hear this. 1:02:30 - Speaker 2What's that? I can't hear anything. 1:02:33 - Speaker 7Can you hear that? Damn it. I have a naval bass, our view is of a naval bass, and the trumpet goes off every morning. 1:02:43 - Speaker 8Oh, It's a wake us up, I guess. 1:02:45 - Speaker 7It's like a pre-recorded fucking trumpet. Yeah, god. 1:02:49 - Speaker 2Cut and call. Can't even afford the trumpet to hear. 1:02:52 - Speaker 7Yeah, i dug this one. This one was the fucking dog you see on the street, and you finally get it to come to your house and you can start feeding it. That's what this song was for me. It was good. There's so much Lou Reed there, though Go back, you'll hear it. You hear Lou. 1:03:10 - Speaker 1Reed, do you hear Lou Reed? I'll read it. 1:03:14 - Speaker 2JD, could you say that again? Do you hear Lou Reed? Yeah, i know I pick up what Tim's put down in that respect. And, dan, i also feel what you're saying about it. I took this record in a lot of different places. Obviously, i have it on vinyl, which, by the way, jd, you've got to make a quick correction. You've been saying this mistake throughout the whole show. We don't flip the record, because this record actually came on two discs. 1:03:49 - Speaker 1That's right, it's a three sided record. 1:03:52 - Speaker 2So just go back and edit it out. Let's go back and edit it all out. I listen to this on the vinyl. I listen to it with my headphones, my computer, with my phone in the car, with what you know, daniel I don't know if you know, but I have a pretty nice, like a premium sound system in my car, so driving and listening is quite enjoyable. No, but I took this album running a lot And this song just burrowed its way in. I loved it, absolutely loved it. Just the line. In my opinion, the drug is ready. It's just so cool. Warm hand of abject approval. And this is, if you again go back to the Europa reference, there's a song on there called Dirty Day. This is that song. It's like, it's almost like they kind of took pieces of that song and made this song, but it's just like that. It's super weird. Lugerty and for sure Tim, for sure, loved it Absolutely fucking love this song. 1:05:15 - Speaker 1Yeah, all right. Okay, well, did that love stick around for a parmint song? 1:05:23 - Speaker 2Oh, most definitely. The opening is amazing, The vocal melody. She's the horrible estate. Am I pronouncing that correctly? Maybe not the way it Canadian? Yeah, Yeah Again. Super big Alanis vibes on this. I love the shit out of this song. It's the fact that Let's clarify. 1:05:56 - Speaker 1Let's clarify In the last episode you mentioned that you heard a lot of production in Alanis, more set first record Jack and Little Pill on Day for Night, and now you're saying it's here on on on the hand house. 1:06:15 - Speaker 2Which is after Jack and Little Pill now, because that was in between. Jack and Little Pill was in between. Oh, I felt like the hip influenced her, and then now she's kind of in turn, return in favor, right, and this song it's it's Tim, tim and Jade. You know this, dan, but I'm taking this, this songwriting class, right now. Laugh me all you want, it's fine, but it's with Scott McMicken from Dr Dogg, and it's awesome because I love Dr Dogg And he's a great songwriter. But they do prompts And this song sounds like. Gord Downey took songwriting class and they gave him a prompt and they said write a song about your apartment. And he, fucking, he destroyed the entire class with it Because this fucking song like the line about like, um, just what our apartment does when we're not around does not concern us, like talking about the plates in the cupboard or something or whatever It's just fucking so cool, dude. It's so cool. And it's not even about that too, i know, in so many ways. 1:07:29 - Speaker 7I can hear the national anthem. Okay, now we're going to try. Yeah, now we're going to try. 1:07:34 - Speaker 1I could hear it. 1:07:37 - Speaker 7This is what we have every morning at this Airbnb, which has the most light bulbs of any any house I've ever been. 1:07:43 - Speaker 1I've heard an Airbnb Yeah that's a lot of light bulbs. You are very well lit. Sorry, sorry, sorry, i was going to say we just take them all, Fucking hell. 1:07:59 - Speaker 7God damn, Nothing like ruining a boner, but the US national anthem Fuck, Sorry honey. Oh, I'm sorry honey. God damn it. We have to try it. Do they do it on it's Sunday morning? Oh, that's why I mean church bells. I think maybe I could keep a boner during church bells, but not the goddamn national anthem. 1:08:25 - Speaker 2Maybe, not. 1:08:26 - Speaker 7That's weird too, maybe not. 1:08:28 - Speaker 2And then, okay, anna comes on your legs. I'm back at it, baby. 1:08:35 - Speaker 7God damn it. It's noon. There's like three more bells still. 1:08:44 - Speaker 1Where did you land on apartment, song Tim. 1:08:49 - Speaker 7You know, i thought maybe it was a bit long. I loved it Overall. I thought maybe it was a bit long and I thought what would this song be live Like? I went through kind of all those questions in my head. I agree with you, pete, that it's kind of a given, a prompt to go right about it, and that's maybe that's in part the simplicity of it for that reason made me kind of not super fall in love with it. Perhaps The idea of pursuing excessive beauty is the comment he made, pete, i love that reference. I kind of dove into that one and thought about all the people that kind of fit that goal. They're, like you know, famous famous actors, or my own asshole self every once in a while. So it kind of gave me some things to think about. But yeah, it's fine, it's fine. 1:09:53 - Speaker 1Where did you land Dan? 1:09:56 - Speaker 6In an apartment, definitely, yeah, i mean, on my notes I've got one of those tracks where you're immediately placed in a scenario. Yeah, this track, when I'm listening to it on the way to work, is always the one that I'm coming up the escalator into the tube station to get out. I've resurfaced And, yeah, it's mellow, i think, like Tarmac. It could be a little bit shorter for me, i think, but it's okay. I mean, i'm not normally used to listening to this kind of track, where it's you know it sort of chugs along a little bit. It's maybe a bit more traditional. Obviously, the structure is traditional as well, but I don't mind it at all. Yeah, yeah, i like it. 1:10:45 - Speaker 1All right, yeah, it's definitely one of my favorites, but you're right at 357,. You know, it's just shy of four minutes. You know, maybe, maybe This is the first record that they produced, like their last record was Howard Vreakin and the Tragically Hip. This one is the Tragically Hip and Mark Vreakin, so, like I think this is sort of their baby in a way, and their baby was perhaps formed in a steady 40 foot stream of coconut cream, wouldn't you say, dan? Oh yeah. 1:11:31 - Speaker 6Yeah, no one saw that one come in, did they? Yeah, i mean yeah. Well, you know, as the fashion dictates, i'm going to like this one because it's a banger. But it's a big banger And, as all bangers should be, it should have, you know, totally nonsensical lyrics. you know think of song two and things like that as well. So it's good. But again, this, you know this really lifts you up after those last two songs. you know I needed this to be in it, i needed the energy, basically, and again, you know it's on here. you know I've just got like. you know there's a, there's a plane taking off at the end and it kind of personifies the track. It's a sonic lift off that does not lose pace. Yeah, interesting. 1:12:22 - Speaker 1All right Tim. 1:12:27 - Speaker 7Tim, i heard pretty quickly in this one, the, the guitar tempo, and it was a little bit, you know, more specific to the era, rock and roll wise, for me, had this kind of indie punk feel and it threw me straight in straight to this band that I was listening to at the time in 94, 95, era 96, probably two from North Carolina. They're called Super Chunk And if you, if you go back and listen to their album here's where the strings come in I would be shocked if anyone from the hip didn't listen to that album during this time, because I went back and listen to that album. There's such good similarities, you know, like I don't want to do another food metaphor, but but yeah, this, this song, it had gripped me a little bit more. I loved it. I loved it, i. When it got to the ending and it kind of cut, and then the fucking jets. I'm like, ok, this is unusual, but I love shit like that. I love hearing sounds, you know, juxtaposed in layers. But when I read about it it was when they record. When they were recording, the power went out in the studio, in the building. At the end of this song, the power went out. So that's why it cuts out And that's why you have this little added tiny guitar layer in there, i believe. But it's, it's the fucking Blue Angels. Here I am sitting across from a Navy shipyard And it's the Blue Angels. That's who's passing? They're like. They're like the US Navy's show team. They travel around and do all their aerial acrobats and hopefully don't crash into the crowd and cost us cost And they cost us you know like one million dollars per second while flying or some shit. But yeah, it's the Blue Angels at the end of this. So you know what the hell is that reference? And they were that recording of the, that recording of the flyover of the Blue Angels was. you know, somebody in the band did it while they were in San Francisco. It's like, oh fuck, here comes the Blue Angels, Start recording and they fucking blended it into the song. So that just made me like an even more I love, I love shit like that. 1:14:43 - Speaker 1So that won me over, very cool. 1:14:46 - Speaker 7Yeah, very cool, very cool recovery from power outage during recording. 1:14:54 - Speaker 1Right, especially if you feel like he just got it. You know like, yeah, what the fuck. 1:15:00 - Speaker 7What do we do now? Yeah, here comes the Blue Angels. 1:15:08 - Speaker 2Yeah I, that's, crazy I mean, i don't know, it does blow my mind. 1:15:14 - Speaker 7That blow your mind. I mean, come on, they're fucking Canadian band. It's not like we're flying the Blue Angels across Canada. They'd hopefully get you know. shot down the bow and arrow, whoa. 1:15:24 - Speaker 1Whoa Hey now. We have cross moves, we have cross. 1:15:29 - Speaker 2All of Canada, sorry, just hold the breath right there Choked on their teeth. 1:15:39 - Speaker 7You can edit that one out. 1:15:42 - Speaker 8I'm you know I'm trying to develop. 1:15:45 - Speaker 1I'm trying to develop some things Good. I love. 1:15:51 - Speaker 2I'm not a big fan of it. I'm not really a fan at all. In the United States military, not those who serve, but the you know. Let's just leave it there. That was that. The apparatus. The apparatus if you will. But I love watching airplanes fly and I do love watching the Blue Angels because it's just cool, It's just and yeah, that's part of the stress out to you And it's like you know it's like watching them watching a thriller film. You know why do people do that. But anyway, this song I do. Like the song, The words, the lyrics just go. Can shooting coconut cream? Okay, all right, there's knowledge you can leave into the imagination there. But the only thing I will say, because I think everybody summed it up pretty well the airplane thing. the same thing happened to me again. If you remember I don't know what record it was There was another airplane sound on the recording. Do you remember JD? 1:17:05 - Speaker 1That's right, you talked about it. You talked about it because you thought you're driving near the airport and you thought it was. 1:17:12 - Speaker 8And so. 1:17:13 - Speaker 2I don't remember what it was. Maybe the first or second record, i forgot, but I took this one out running And I had the record going in the background with a guided run, you know where there's somebody telling you where to how fast to go and slow down and go fast school And I didn't know. I was like is this the fucking recording of the guy to run? And then I take my headphones out and I look up as I'm running. There's no airplane. And then I stopped the guy to run and I was like it's the fucking recording again. And it was the only reason why I said that trick happened to you before when I was driving by the airport And it was because of the fucking hip. How random is that? Like second time lagging strikes twice in the same place. 1:18:08 - Speaker 1Fuck, Pretty random man. 1:18:11 - Speaker 7Pretty random. 1:18:14 - Speaker 1Any other thoughts on coconut cream? 1:18:17 - Speaker 7Great, great track. 1:18:20 - Speaker 1All right, you guys have. you guys have potentially changed my mind on both, but Swiglin and coconut cream Those are those always rank up in my lower tier, which is tough for me to reconcile, because this is maybe my favorite record, like maybe my favorite record, so it's it's. you know it's. it's tough for me to reconcile that it's got two songs I don't like out of 12. How can that be your favorite record then? But now, now I'm going to go back and listen to the butt Swiglin with Blue Reed on my brain, and coconut cream, like, just the idea of like, like, when you said song two, it's like. yeah, okay, there they're just having. it's just fun. It's just, and maybe I'm a little too into flamenco and not enough into the fun that I need to back it down a little bit. But that takes us to track 10. Let's stay engaged. 1:19:17 - Speaker 2Stay on, stay engaged by talking about staying engaged. Let's stay engaged. I love the track. Man, i thought I was banger It's and if you notice that the airplane comes into this track, the airplane from the previous track comes into this one, which I think is really is really cool. The lyrics lies over time. The chords are super simple but really complex. Again, a lot of Alanis vibes, love the solo and a lot of weird guitar effects. The bass is just the bass is really what shines in this song. Just the rolling bass. That's just great. Love the song, really joy. 1:20:19 - Speaker 1Cool. How are you Dan? 1:20:22 - Speaker 6Yeah, well, you know, from the whole jet thing that goes into it, as Pete was saying, you know the lyrics start off pretty much sort of airport referential, don't they? We've sort of latent departures and things like that as well. I mean I like this track but I just wish it went somewhere. I just wish it built towards the end. That's the only thing it's missing really. You know, i think this deep into the album to have something that sits a little bit level. You know, you really feel it. You really feel like maybe you're chugging towards the end rather than accelerating to the end with a great kind of crescendo. So I just wish it had. I just wish it had some other elements, a few more layers had it in at the end. But I did notice towards the end that there is like a layer of weird fuzz towards the end of it that cuts off before the end And then, if anybody didn't notice that, then there's some. I don't know what that was. 1:21:16 - Speaker 7Yeah, i did notice that And I thought that I don't know, this one didn't really have any surprises for me. I agree with both of you guys in general This, it just felt like the placement of it was okay. let me start over. if the ending, dan your comment if the ending had some slight tweaks to it, it could have been drawn out a little bit more, not much. I feel like this song could have been the end of the album, like I was. I was hearing, you know, i knew where it was in the placement of the recording of the album, but hearing like the last one minute of it, i thought if the drums, the drums have kind of this I don't know prehistoric kind of feel and it just feels like if it just fade out and the song could be the end of the end of the whole album for me. but it isn't. 1:22:07 - Speaker 1I'm glad it isn't, because if it wasn't, then we wouldn't get Sherpa. 1:22:35 - Speaker 9I'm glad it isn't, because if it wasn't, then we wouldn't get Sherpa. I'm glad it isn't because if it wasn't, then we wouldn't get Sherpa. I'm glad it isn't because if it wasn't, then we wouldn't get Sherpa. I'm glad it isn't because if it wasn't, then we wouldn't get Sherpa. We were hard, we were Sherpa hard. We conspired against old friends. We said we must live with friends of dark and we died a thousand times since then. We were hard, we were hard, we were hard, we were hard, we were hard. I'm glad it isn't, because if it wasn't, then we wouldn't get Sherpa. Download wwwcdc bringing more video To Share this parts with other 2 people. We can write it down and obliterate it. And the laughter far. let me hear, the love I hear. We can lay down and obliterate it. 1:27:30 - Speaker 1And I fucking love Sherpa. So I have questions. Somebody let me down if you need to, but what do you think, tim? What are you saying? 1:27:45 - Speaker 7I thought the line we must be friends or die. I needed to announce that lyric as applicable for our foursome right now. At the end of this. If you guys were like fuck that guy, tim, what the hell was up with him on that recording, i would have to kill you so we have to be friends, or die. But it made me wonder with this album is this when the guys J&A? did you ever read anything about them doing hallucinogenics? 1:28:14 - Speaker 1Did they ever? 1:28:15 - Speaker 7comment about it. 1:28:17 - Speaker 1I'm sure they must have, because this is the track. This is wonderful. It's wonderful to listen to on a marijuana high. It's wonderful to listen to totally straight as well. It's lull, it's spooky. 1:28:38 - Speaker 7It had this acid trip feel to me, which was a little bit different. Then previous songs, this quiet guitar and the piano in there. The piano, i thought I'm kind of wanting more key type sounds in general to keep adding in layers. It's this new topping that we haven't had much of. So I thought Sherpa was pretty great, but I wanted to know. I couldn't find much. So is this when one of the guys went on this epic journey of a trip, or like? how was this song written? 1:29:15 - Speaker 1Yeah, i've just had it, If anyone out there knows. 1:29:18 - Speaker 7Write in to send JD an email at. 1:29:23 - Speaker 1JD at gettinghiptothehipcom. Dan, where are you at? 1:29:30 - Speaker 6Yeah, it's good, I've got it down as the high point on site too. Again, as you're saying, everything about it spaced out in every way, lyrically, spatially, vibrally, But then it does. I just get the feeling that at the end, after the point where we're, at the point where we love and hate it, It does fly off into sounding like something off the bends by Radiohead. It's just got that vibe to it. The final layer of guitar, the single note, higher guitar stuff, is very much Bend sort of related, which was released a year before, I think 1995. But it's all put together so well and love it all good. 1:30:19 - Speaker 7See, yeah, it's just got beeped again. The electricity in Spain is. You might be having some surge happening. 1:30:34 - Speaker 2That might be a point I don't know. All jokes aside, but this song I mean. You guys summed up most of it for me. I absolutely fucking dig this song. I don't know what was going on, the imagery in it. I was picturing a Sherpa when I was listening to it. Just by virtue of the name It just stuck in my head. And the bendy guitar riff. It's disorienting to the ear. It made me confuse listening to it. It was really cool. I've been thinking of it now because I've heard it so many times the last couple of days. It's that Jeff Bechtoun from The Artbirds. He bends it. You know what I'm talking about. They've been playing a lot of Jeff Bechtoun because he died. Anyway, that guitar riff in the song is very fucking cool. We dug it the line and we spoke languidly. When that hits right after that line, it's so fucking cool. There's piano reverb. That is just. Tim, you mentioned pavement earlier. I can't think of a B-side tune that reminded me of, but I heard it on here too with that piano reverb. We've died a thousand times since then. Super, at the very end of the song the chords go to major. I think it's definitely the best song on side two or side three. I guess we're saying Side four, but it's side four. 1:32:33 - Speaker 1No side. Four no side four, it's up there. No, there's no side four. Yeah, that's right, because the fourth side's blank. Yeah totally It's like why was Alley Totally? 1:32:45 - Speaker 7There you go. Okay, Great, very strong. 1:32:51 - Speaker 1Put it off. This is where we wind the record down and get ready to put it away, regardless of whether you're listening to it on a CD or MP3s or albums. This is it. This is what you get from 1996. We have to wait another two years for the next long play. Does put it off. Do the job of an ending track in your estimation, tim? 1:33:23 - Speaker 7Yeah, i think so. This one got me. It kind of had all the fixings for the recipe. There's definitely some storytelling. This album, i think, musically, gripped me more than storytelling compared to past albums, lyrically But this one had it. This one checked the box Talking about how There's a whole reference with how the Nazis stole art across Germany and created this Traveling art show to show all the degenerate artwork and they had museums that they graffitied the walls of And hung these paintings that they stole from all these fucking liberals or whoever they fucking plucked them from. This song is kind of like the dog off the street and you realize how that it's beautiful. Anyways, there's a reference to Eric's trip, which is, i think, the second Sonic Youth reference I've picked up, which is fucking cool that they're referencing Sonic Youth. 1:34:31 - Speaker 1Well, it's a reference of a reference, that's right, that's right. Because it's referencing the Canadian band Eric's trip, who's named after the Sonic Youth. Okay, yes, true. 1:34:42 - Speaker 7Okay, double, double one there. Anyways, you know that I love to hear there's some fucking sitar going on, totally yeah, right, in the background. 1:34:51 - Speaker 1That's what that is, isn't it? 1:34:52 - Speaker 7Yeah, yeah. So I'm sure we'll hear that again. Like this album just based on Sherpa, i was like, okay, who's doing a little acid and writing some of the songs? Because that's coming out a bit, i hope, because I just love the experimental part. It's a big closer. It turns down into this beautiful quiet ending. It was the closer I needed. It was a great tune. It was a loaded hip closer of a track for sure. 1:35:32 - Speaker 1How about you Dan? 1:35:36 - Speaker 6Well, one of the phrases I've used to describe this track is heavy menace. It's foreboding isn't it? It's stark. You've got these mystic sitar vibes. You've got this intensity there. It's up and down. It's probably a great live track for everybody to hang on to. That tension and release and then tension back on again. I don't know whether I like it as the end of the album. I don't know, because it's like getting somewhere and then being hit over the head with a mallet. It's like a kind of blunt third, almost. You know You sort of live through part of it and then you kind of get a little bit overwhelmed. But yeah, i don't dislike that, i've just got to get my head around it. Really, i'll say this build up to the end of the albums. If Let's Stay Engaged has that little bit of a rise up there, i think that would do it for me. But no, it's good, it's good. I need to listen to it more definitely. 1:36:55 - Speaker 1Yeah, you should always listen to it more, but it still might be where you land, you know, and that's cool. 1:37:02 - Speaker 6Yeah, but I'll say this is an album that I will be buying. 1:37:04 - Speaker 1Yeah, I will be getting hold of this for repeat listens. 1:37:09 - Speaker 7Excellent. It was a good one for Dan to come in on. I think you know Yeah. For sure sounds good. Lucky you Yeah yeah, thank God. 1:37:22 - Speaker 1What did you think of putting it off Pete? 1:37:25 - Speaker 2I definitely feel Dan's vibes on i
