Saw David Bazan last night.

[Le Vainqueur]

He was pretty good. He played a lot of new songs that might be on the up coming album and a few old Pedro songs. He played 2 from "Control" which is my fave Pedro album, if not one of my all time favorite albums. I noticed he had a twitch thing. Did anyone else notice when they saw him? He did an interview with a local newspaper and said he was not a Christian anymore and that if God does exist, He's cruel. I guess his wife still is a Christian and takes their daughter to church and stuff...Someone in the auduence asked him if he loved God and his reply basically was "I can't say yes". I guess that kind-of puts an end to the questioning on wheather he's a Christian or not...bummer..

I haven't seen him since It's Hard to Find a Friend came out but I don't remember a twitch. I think that's sad about his declaration but it's been pretty evident over the past few years.

Yikes! That's sad. It sounds like something happened and may have embittered him against God. Lord, please bring him back, in Jesus' name...

See the song "Secret of the Easy Yoke"

i could hear the church bells ringing
they pealed aloud your praise
the member's faces were smiling
with their hands outstretched to shake
it's true they did not move me
my heart was hard and tired
their perfect fire annoyed me
i could not find you anywhere
could someone please tell me the story
of sinners ransomed from the fall
i still have never seen you, and somedays
i don't love you at all

the devoted were wearing bracelets
to remind them why they came
some concrete motivation
when the abstract could not do the same
but if all that's left is duty, i'm falling on my sword
at least then, i would not serve an unseen distant lord

could someone please tell me the story
of sinners ransomed from the fall
i still have never seen you, and somedays
i don't love you at all
if this only a test
i hope that i'm passing, cuz i'm losing steam
but i still want to trust you

peace be still (x3)

It happens to be one of my favorite PTL songs.  From this song, I think he got tired of all the fake people who go to church.
