Music Monday – “Take me to church/I’ll worship like a dog at the shrine of your lies/I’ll tell you my sins and you can sharpen your knife “

Saw this guy on Saturday Night Live last week and he blew me away.

At first, a song called “Take Me To Church” with a refrain of “Amen, amen” throughout might seem like a typical religious song.

But listen to the lyrics a little closer (or just read the excerpt from the chorus I used as the subject line of this post) and it’s clear that’s not the case.

Powerful video as well…
