RE: Pierced - Purple Flower

Definitely a very strong visual language, which makes me wonder, if it is really the video to the music, or the other way round. The beginning reminded me of an event I saw in Toledo a few years ago and in a way it all made me think of the art of Dino Valls...

Already watched that on the other comment and wondered, if there is a direct relationship to your poem. Together it gives me a... hard to describe feeling of:

Captivated by the mystery of faith... but also aware of the problems of institutionalized religion... finally finding true spirituality or love (of god and/or his creation)...

Something like that. English isn't my native language, so its quite difficult to explain what I mean in this context... hope it makes sense

Sort:  

Peter Gabriel's music for The Last Temptation of Christ is stunning!!!!

Have you seen the movie as well? It is based on the Greek novel.

Like you perhaps, I don't do organized religion very well. Dogma isn't my strong suit :-)
But I try to get along :-)

You are right with the organized religion. I don't go to church, but I believe in a creative force.. won't even call it energy, as that is misused too much in my humble opinion.

Love Peter Gabriel. That piece is awesome. I haven't seen the movie, nor read the novel. But I know the El Greco painting on the cover ;-)

The movie is seminal IMHO. The novel, which I am learning Greek so that I can read it some day in the original, was the cause of the author being excommunicated from the organized Church.
