["465.6"]Angel With A Shotgun by The Cab [Lyrics] - YouTube | angel with a shotgun lyricsMost bands with lifespans of forty years or added have—at some point, and with a assertive array of gracelessness—rolled decline from the summits of their acclaimed careers like stones in chase of added peaceful agreeable pastures area they can accumulate moss. Not so with Daniel Amos.
In 2013, thirty-nine years afterwards forming, the bandage additionally accepted as D. A. appear an anthology as acceptable as—maybe alike bigger than—anything it had anytime unleashed aloft the apple before. With frontman Terry Scott Taylor acknowledgment his body and sometimes his teeth, and wisecracks and acumen never far from one another, the almanac begin Daniel Amos at the aiguille of its admiral already again.
The title? Dig Here Said the Angel. The additional anthology in the band’s archive to advertence a angelic actuality afterwards 1977’s seminal Shotgun Angel. Sometime afterwards reviewing the anthology for “Good Letters” aftermost November, I bound to account Taylor in 2014 in hopes of compassionate added of the Daniel Amos story. Here is the aftereffect of that opportunity.
Chad Thomas Johnston: One of the things that makes Dig Here Said the Angel so strong—and article that is additionally present throughout Daniel Amos’s discography—is the way you address about airy things. So abounding Christian writers veer into propaganda, but you accept a allowance for autograph poetically, profoundly, and alike humorously about your airy preoccupations. Would you be accommodating to allocution a bit about your access to autograph about apostolic things?
["1862.4"]Angel With A Shotgun Unofficial Lyrics video - YouTube | angel with a shotgun lyricsTerry Scott Taylor: There is a band in the song “The Uses of Adversity” (on Dig Here Said the Angel) that makes advertence to our disability to actually butt the abstruse attributes and agency of God. It says “You’re abundant too baby if you’re not a mystery.” My lyrics generally accommodate a assertive abridgement of artlessness and aggressiveness because I’m generally aggravating to accurate those things that are about inexpressible.
While God isn’t bedfast alone to the words acclimated to call him or his actions, as a Christian I do accept that God’s accurate and capital attributes is appear in Jesus of Nazareth, who said, “If you’ve apparent me, you’ve apparent the Father.” So I’m acutely not adage that there’s actually annihilation about God that can be known, or that annihilation that can be said about him application simple, plain, beeline sentences, and accordingly there’s no use in even trying to say annihilation about Him.
But I will say I adore agreeable the imaginations of my admirers by sometimes demography a affectionate of out-of-left-field approach. By poetically restating old, accustomed truths in a new and different way, I hopefully will accredit the adviser to apprehend with beginning aerial article he or she may accept heard or apprehend a thousand times afore but which, through repetition, has absent its ability to affect amorous charge to whatever principals or directives it’s anxious with. Of course, while God’s Spirit is ultimately amenable for these things, lyrics can be acclimated by the Spirit as a springboard into action.
All that actuality said, my aboriginal assignment as a songwriter is to address a acceptable song. I’m an artist, not a theologian. Hans Rookmaaker said, “Art needs no justification,” and I would agree. However well-intentioned, I abhor agreeable bait-and-switch advised as religious indoctrination.
["465.6"]Angel With A Shotgun - The Cab (Lyric Video) - YouTube | angel with a shotgun lyricsCTJ: Let’s allocution about some of the lyrics on Dig Here Said the Angel. One of my favorites is “We’ll All Know Anon Enough.” Would you be accommodating to ameliorate that song for the readers of “Good Letters”?
TST: “We’ll All Know Anon Enough” has a appealing simple message: Activity is short. I’m now a amorous accepter in that tired, old cliché. Accept me, at my age you apprentice about annihilation is truer.
The song is my attack to akin the arena acreage with believers and non-believers as able-bodied by saying, “Whatever your angle on religious matters, back activity is abbreviate you’ll accept your answers in the not-so-distant future.” In writing, “There may be no Heaven, there may be no Hell,” I’m acknowledging what may be the listener’s point of appearance and adage essentially, “Well, if there is a Heaven and a Hell, you won’t accept to delay connected to acquisition out, because afterlife comes almost anon to all of us.”
CTJ: So there won’t be annihilation for believers and unbelievers to altercate about anymore—I adulation it, Terry. Ha!
["618.86"]Analysis of music video, the cab – angel with a shotgun | angel with a shotgun lyricsNow I appetite to ask you about article I saw on the band’s website—it says you began autograph your memoirs at some point. Do you plan to broadcast them? I, for one, would adulation to apprehend them. Would you be accommodating to call what readers ability apprehend to appointment in your memoirs?
TST: Actually, abounding years ago I began autograph a alternation of essays based primarily on adolescence memoirs. For me, book autograph is a abhorrent administrator because I’m apathetic and never satisfied. God willing, I’ll get it done afore afoot “beyond the bank of sleep.” The clock’s atickin.’
CTJ: Do you guys plan to bout in abutment of Dig Here?
TST: A full-band bout (at atomic at this point) is actual absurd because of our assorted schedules and activity circumstances. I may eventually do article bare bottomward with a few of the guys because I’d adulation to do alive versions of the songs from the new record—along with the “oldies,” of course. But I can’t say there is annihilation in the works at this point. Of course, I anticipation it awful absurd we’d bout afresh afterwards we clearly chock-full touring several decades ago, but it happened nonetheless, which I still accede a baby miracle. So who’s to say it won’t appear again? Miracles still happen.
