LYRICS:
Jesus Christ was a handsome man
He had nothin to hide
He said, give this bread to the hungry
bring the homeless inside
Jesus Christ was a dangerous man
That’s the way that he died
Sayin, be good to the people you love
And love everybody alive
Be good to the people
Be good to the people
be good to the people you love
And love everybody alive
Dr. King was a preacher
he had God on his side
He said, all God’s children are brothers
Don’t cast your brother aside
Dr. King was a dangerous man
That’s the way that he died
He said, be good to the people you love
And love everybody alive
Be good to the people
Be good to the people
be good to the people you love
And love everybody alive
There ain’t nothin more criminal than kindness
CTthere ain’t nothin more valuable than blindness
We’ll make anyone a martyr who’ll remind us
Everybody’s got a right to be free
Be good to the people
Be good to the people
be good to the people you love
And love everybody alive
Be good to the people
Be good to the people
be good to the people you love
And love everybody alive

I love the subtle cynicism in the lyrics. Be so kind that it's dangerous is a great motto.

He ain't heavy, he's my brother. Praise Loudly; Blame Softly ✌️& ❤️

[@danielgriffin2024]

Love is understanding, acknowledgment and acceptance. Hate is ignorance, arrogance and fear. In this season of hate, we could use more love...

[@dmorwell]

This is my new Christmas carol

[@grubthescrub554]

I saw them live when they opened for Caamp at Red Rocks. It was the first time I heard this song and my best friend and I started slow dancing together. There were a lot of other couples and friends dancing together to this song in the mountains and it was absolutely beautiful. Thank you for creating one of my dearest memories with my best friend!

[@susancvh]

Best Easter song ever. I love when it gets stuck in my head. Thanks, Cassie!

[@tracynavarro4839]

Love your new song. Crucifixion seems like the only reward for anyone who cares to work for the good of humanity. "Be so kind that it is criminal" is so John Prine-ien. Also just yesterday Cori Bush was booed by her brother House members in the GOP for calling out murderous white supremacy within our Congress. We need your voice and words now more than ever, dear Carsie. Love you.

[@annagolden]

What a wonderful song! KZbin just keeps rolling in such a wealth of talent to my ears and you are an example of that. Can't wait to hear more of your stuff. This one is so good in all the areas musicianship, lyrics and your rich voice and bold and playful style. Great chord changes too.

[@Nan-59]

[@joshyouwuhh]

A vision and a wonder and a dream. Also groovy, rad, and dope

[@randomocitystudios5046]

This is soo good. I love how you've reclaimed the goodness of Jesus for the people. Knock some of those wicked religious people who use Jesus as a cudgel right off their high horses of judgement and hatred! With much love and appreciation, thank you!

[@georgianasalter]

Amen❤

[@loganbrown3565]

He died for our sins, that doesn't mean we can continue to sin and be forgiven. It means he died because our hateful judgement and sinful condemnation.

[@defenestrator214]

But if I don't sin, then he died for nothing.

[@andyhay7047]

Not sure I've ever seen a newspaper quite like that one, but I'd benefit from becoming a regular reader!

I didn't recognize the context of some of the photos in the newspaper there I wish there was some easy way to identify them, its not in the description.

[@beekay1595]

Love this! Just discovered you on TT and had to explore. Thank you for singing my philosophy! #SocialWorker

[@kittyfogz6683]

This is such a beautiful song xoxox

[@jaymop]

I love the song! I'm curious, how did you choose the model/pic for Jesus?

[@CarsieBlanton]

It's from some movie about Jesus - this is what comes up when you google "handsome Jesus" :) The actor is Diogo Morgado

[@pablopoblano4060]

Great song. I don't know about handsome though, lol. Is it Jazz ?

[@tomhorn6156]

[@NeoLudditeDave]

Holy shit what a powerful song. Hold this mirror up to our fascist theocrats in the U.S.

[@Genderzgamez]

hi i'm joella's daughter delilah btw s*** list is stuck in my head UyU

[@jeremiahgabriel5709]

If only all humans could agree on what being good to other people meant. Unfortunately a great many christian folks view proselytizing as good; view harrassing women, black folks, LGBTQ humans, and so on-- as "for their good." Sigh.

[@javignone]

Would be much better without bacon andeggs, as pigs and chickens deserve our live and resoect instead of our abject needless cruelty.

[@salparadise6528]

Why didja make jesus white?

[@CarsieBlanton]

This is the first image that comes up when you google "handsome Jesus".

[@kevinogracia1615]

Always cool... But, (cough)... Jesus ain't a hippie. Pisa on erf.

[@NEduaLipa666]
