Good example of how pop culture has devolved into a post Christian era, neo pagan era of decadence and decline. Sorry but the reality is that pop culture reflects the values of the society from which it emanates. Clinton and Obama were not elected twice in a political or cultural vacuum.

Pop culture is dead for sure, today.

Back in the 60’s and 70’s there where plenty of Christian based meanings within the popular music of the “Singers and Songwriters”. Most was lost in the 1980’s but there was an upsurge in the 1990’s.

A lot of overtly Christian bands but most seemed to disguise their message.

Ben Folds Five - Brick

6 a.m., day after Christmas
I throw some clothes on in the dark
The smell of cold
Car seat is freezing
The world is sleeping
I am numb

Up the stairs to the apartment
She is balled up on the couch
Her mom and dad went down to Charlotte
They’re not home to find us out
And we drive
Now that I have found someone
I’m feeling more alone
Than I ever have before

She’s a brick and I’m drowning slowly
Off the coast and I’m headed nowhere
She’s a brick and I’m drowning slowly

They call her name at 7:30
I pace around the parking lot
Then I walk down to buy her flowers
And sell some gifts that I got
Can’t you see
It’s not me you’re dying for
Now she’s feeling more alone
Than she ever has before

She’s a brick and I’m drowning slowly
Off the coast and I’m headed nowhere
She’s a brick and I’m drowning slowly

As weeks went by
It showed that she was not fine
They told me, “Son, it’s time to tell the truth”
And she broke down, and I broke down
‘Cause I was tired of lying

Driving back to her apartment
For the moment we’re alone
But she’s alone
And I’m alone
And now I know it

She’s a brick and I’m drowning slowly
Off the coast and I’m headed nowhere
She’s a brick and I’m drowning slowly
