When They Really Get to Know You They Will Run

Here's a little video with former Pedro the Lion frontman David Bazan about christianity and the church and how it relates to him and his music.




"I could buy you a drink
I could tell you all about it
I could tell you why i doubt it
and why I still believe"

The Fleecing by Pedro the Lion

[Ignorant before the heavens of my life]

[Ignorant before the heavens of my life]

Ignorant before the heavens of my life,
I stand and gaze in wonder. Oh the vastness
of the stars. Their rising and descent. How still.
As if I didn't exist. Do I have any
share in this? Have I somehow dispensed with
their pure effect? Does my blood's ebb and flow
change with their changes? Let me put aside
every desire, every relationship
except this one, so that my heart grows used to
its farthest spaces. Better that it live
fully aware, in the terror of its stars, than
as if protected, soothed by what is near.

Rainer Maria Rilke
