Brand New – Jesus

April 30, 2007 by Rich Leave a Comment

Unlike some, I am not of the belief that Jesse Lacey is one of the greatest lyricists of our time. A competent lyricist he may be, but definitely not a great. When he wrote the lyrics for ‘The Devil and God Are Raging Inside Me’ it is clear that he was going through a tough time in himself, a time of personal transition and great questioning and this really comes through in single ‘Jesus’. As you can probably guess from the title of the track; ‘Jesus’ is deeply rooted in religion and is full of religious metaphors throughout. It is key to listen to this track with an open mind, take in what Jesse Lacey says and try not to dissect it too much based on personal religious beliefs and perceptions. For what it is – ‘Jesus’ is a competent offering, a mid-paced rock track with Jesse Lacey’s vocals at the forefront and a pacing back beat of guitar riff and drum beat taking us through the track. In all truth, the more I’ve listened to this track over the months – the more the musical back beat grates on me, however there is no denying that the lyrics are well written here and this is a well chosen single I feel as it presents to the listener a heartfelt offering where it’s clear that Lacey has put his all in.
