Joan Osbourne - One of Us



Uploaded by: divdby0
Video Description:
"One of Us" is a song written by Eric Bazilian (of The Hooters) and originally released by Joan Osborne.
The song deals with various aspects of belief in God by asking questions inviting the listener to consider how they might relate to God, such as "Would you call [God's name] to his face?" or "Would you want to see [God's face] if seeing meant that you would have to believe?" The name of the song comes from the question contained in the refrain, "What if God was one of us?"
Released in March 1995 on the album Relish (produced by Rick Chertoff), it hit the top 40 in November of the same year. With this song, Osborne received one of many Grammy nominations in 1995, including Best Female Pop Vocal Performance, but failed to win. One year later Prince covered the song for his 'Emancipation' LP.
Around January 1996, "One of Us" hit the top 10. Finally in March of 1996 "One of Us" climbed to #1 on Rock On The Net's ARC Weekly Top 40 and stayed there for 2 weeks. Its peak chart position on the Billboard Hot 100 was #4.

this song is not about god. it's about herself. it's not even about religion or faith. you have to look beyond her literal words. if you want a great song ABOUT god. look up amy grant's "el shadai". conversely, if you want to hear a song ABOUT god but against Him, listen to xtc's "dear god". both great songs.

Religion is a way of controlling people. Make people have one thing in common, then they will feel secure. Then you can use these people for anything frome "donations" to war. Its a know fact that most religious leaders are corrupt. UNITE AND CONQUER!

found the rest of the lyrics online:
"ch: Oh, you thirsty of every tribe
Get your ticket for an aeroplane ride
Jesus our Saviour is coming to reign
And take you to glory in his aeroplane
Oh, talk of rides in automobiles
Talk of fast times in motor wheels
We'll break all records as we upwards fly
For an aeroplane joy ride in the sky"

"You must get ready if you take this ride
Leave all your sins and humble your pride
Furnish a lamp both bright and clean
And a vessel of oil to run the machine
When our journey's over and we all sit down
At the marriage supper with a robe and crown
We'll blend our voices with a heavenly throng
And praise our Saviour as the years roll on"

So you are saying the allmighty perfect god intend for some people to be born even more unperfect than we already are?
Or is it maybe the fact that all these problems actually have scientific explanations and deal with defects in a genetic level , in most cases produced by the one person that nurture them for 9 months while being drunk out of its mind, or druged or exposed to a hostile enviroment. God is really good is he,
