Comment:
Songs that mention some sort of religious idea, but not religious songs. Toward the end I was forcing it a bit to fill up the CD. I think the first half came more naturally and flows better. Including REM's "Losing my Religion" would have felt too cliche, but it makes a great title.Feedback:
for some reason i'm always drawn to songs with lots of religious imagery. it's one of the many reasons i love leonard cohen. good mix.
Simon and Garfunkel - A Church is Burning would have been really good...I like your choices, Tom Waits is really good for this kind of thing.
Great, great choices for this theme. Interesting Flaming Lips pick and Tom Waits is an absolute necessity for this theme.
I love how you start off all innocent & peaceful with Elijah & St. Christopher & God's Hotel, but by the end you're ego tripping at the gates of hell. That is hilarious :)
It seems like a very mellow mix. I really like it. When I saw the title I thought "Sacrilidge" Otep or "Number of the Beast" Iron Maiden. It's very calm and looks like it has a great flow. Props for an awesome mix.
