Blaming Jesus

At first, it seems like just a noisy stream of confessions - slightly bold, slightly tired, but so alive. Tears are tested for authenticity, love must be proven by deeds, and apologies sound like a familiar refrain, not quite believing in their own power. It seems to speak directly about pain, but between the lines there is a desire to keep up appearances, to be “real” no matter what.

The rhythm shifts between confession and bravado: sometimes “I'm sorry,” sometimes “I did it, I rose up.” And in this strange swing there is a certain honesty - one that is born at the intersection of vulnerability and ostentatious grandeur. It is funny and touching how promises coexist with bragging, and prayerful lines with streetwise directness. The result is not so much a song about love or pain, but about how difficult it is to stay afloat when you need to be strong, even if inside you feel like crying.
