Did you ever react to another Mr. Mister song? :)

[@GeorgeBratcherIII]

Latin - Kyrie - Lord - Eleison - Have Mercy Lord Have Mercy on the road I must travel! Ruach is Hebrew for Wind, so he mentions : The wind blows hard against this mountainside Across the sea into my soul It reaches into where I cannot hide Setting my feet upon the road So he is being filled with the Holy Spirit. The group got our generation into studying Latin, NT Greek, & Hebrew to understand this song! This was released in 1985 in my Senior Year of High School, and I felt like the future was unfolding with this song, as I would graduate in 1986, and my feet would hit the road for college, and I KNEW Yahweh/God would be with me. Song is as great today as it was 37 years ago! The entire "Welcome To The Real World" album is a treat to listen to!

Kyrie Eleison is ancient Greek: "Lord Have Mercy!" It comprises a penitential prayer in the traditional worship of Christians.

[@gametchanger]

[@francisgruber3638]

@@gametchanger ​ @Game t Changer Sure, who doesn't like Dust In the Wind, by Kansas? Like Kyrie, it has a hidden spiritual backstory, It clearly replicates the themes of the Book of Ecclesiastes, which seems to be an exercise in despair; but really is a profound exploration of the world in search of its redeemer. The beauty of the song is the proof that the search will resolve well after all. Bc who needs that much great art just to despair? Thank you, in any case.

[@dimitriosales]

It's also modern day Greek.

Yes those words bring back childhood Christmas memories. I like the song more than the church versions 😊

[@bettierusso5410]

"Kyrie Eleison" is GREEK for CHRIST HAVE MERCY. This song is from around 1982. It is a prayer and was used in Greek Orthodox Church and then in Latin. It was thousands of years old. The singer-songwriter is Mr. Richard Page. Check out his song called " Take these broken wings". He is a Christian and still has many LPs out for solo work. He went on tour 34+ years later and played a concert tour with Ring Starr and his all-star band and actually sounded better! His voice is a real gift from God as well as the gift of music. Enjoy

[@marylee7467]

Lord Have Mercy, is Kylie elasion in Greek. we say this in church. It's a prayer . He asking God to be with him on his path. They were mid 80s. I saw them live at Jones Beach. Fabulous show. Please listen to the newest Home Free doing Mary Do Yo Know. And they did one with Texas Hill, there version of Go Tell It On The Mountain. You will enjoy. Stay blessed

[@shanequa555]

When he sings "somewhere between the soul and soft machine" it's a double entendre - Soft Machine is an experimental avant-garde band formed in 1966 that took its name from a William S. Burroughs novel, "The Soft Machine"; the "soft machine" can also refer to the "body" ( of physical matter that acts like our "machine" in which we inhabit to move around in space) in contrast to the aforementioned "soul".

[@gametchanger]

That is deep thank you so much for breaking this down and God Bless!

[@timberrwolff]

I'm honestly quite surprised a Christian couldn't recognize a prayer when he heard one, because that's essentially what this whole song it. "Kyrie eleison = Lord have mercy". When you realize that soaring voice in the beginning is actually crying out to the Lord...this entire song rises to a whole new level. When I rise again on Judgement Day, that's exactly how my heart will sound as I cry out to Him. Thanks for sharing!

[@seannovack3834]

Thanks for the reaction! The band's name is Mr. Mister, the singer is Richard Page. The producers of this video handed out minicams to the band members to do candid shots on tour and the resulting footage is most of what was used to splice together this video. From the Greek "Kyrie eleison" - pronounced "KEER-ee-ay il-AY-iss-on", meaning "Lord, have mercy" The lyrics are a prayer. They're literally saying "Lord have mercy down the road that I must travel. Lord have mercy through the darkness of the night. Lord have mercy where I'm going will you follow. Lord have mercy on a highway in the Light!" Now go back and listen to the song again and I think you'll gain a whole new appreciation for this song that spent two week in the number 1 spot on the charts in 1985! ;-)

It's not a Christian pop song at all. Richard page the singer never wanted the title at all. He was roped into it by one of his band members. He said he never wanted to be stigmatised as a Christian band or anything like that. So no it's not a Christian pop song.

[@wyomingpark]

And broken wings is about the band doing hardcore drugs and partying and almost destroying themselves. The song was written after they decided to clean themselves up and it's about what they experienced and how they felt. Sheesh do some research.

[@jananelson8556]

"Kyrie Eleison" is greek for "Lord Have Mercy on me." we sing to God and sometime the Holy Spirit sings to us through us or even a Rock Band like Mr.Mister. it's almost like a duet or a duo singing to each other The Holy Spirit is singing through Richard Page (the lead singer here of Mr.Mister) "will you follow me down the road that I must travel" is like Jesus saying pick up your cross and follow Me to his Bride The Church...and it could also mean a Christian seeking God guidance to go with me/us through" the Darkness of the night" (the valley of the shadow of death in "The Lord's Prayer"). some Christians call it or refer to it " THE (((DARK NIGHT))) OF THE SOUL". It is God that carries us like in the Poem "Foot Prints in the Sand" in "the Dark Night of the soul " and back into the Light..."I will never leave you nor forsake you..I'm with you always even to the end of the age," ~Jesus

[@TheBruceGday]

Many comments here addressing Kyrie Eleason as Lord Have Mercy in Greek from the time of much of the writing of the New Testament. So too there are comments about the Wind blows hard against the mountainside, across the sea in my soul, where I cannot hide. Setting my feet upon the road…upon the path the Lord has set for me as a follower. Imagining growing old and what his life would mean…did he fill his life with purpose? When he sings about Kyrie eleason down the road that I must travel, will you follow you assume that as a pop song he is speaking about a lover and talk about the importance of a spouse being willing to follow…I kept thinking, “wait until he finds the ‘who’ he really means to have follow him (be with him) on the chosen path. Others talk about listening to Mr. Mister “Broken Wings”. Now that you know about the beliefs and motivations of Mr. Mister lyrics, I would be interested in what you think of the lyrics of that song mean given this context. Lastly, you wanted to know if they are still around today. Follow up…Richard Page, the lead singer went on in the 90’s to produce contemporary Christian music.

[@damonsgirl7928]

Lyrics … Kyrie eleison Kyrie eleison Kyrie elei … The wind blows hard against this mountainside Across the sea into my soul It reaches into where I cannot hide Setting my feet upon the road … My heart is old, it holds my memories My body burns a gem-like flame Somewhere between the soul and soft machine Is where I find myself again … Kyrie eleison down the road that I must travel Kyrie eleison through the darkness of the night Kyrie eleison where I'm going, will you follow? Kyrie eleison on a highway in the night … When I was young, I thought of growing old Of what my life would mean to me Would I have followed down my chosen road Or only wished what I could be? … Kyrie eleison down the road that I must travel Kyrie eleison through the darkness of the night Kyrie eleison where I'm going, will you follow? Kyrie eleison on a highway in the night … Whoa-oh-oh, whoa-oh-oh Whoa-oh-oh, whoa-oh-oh … Kyrie eleison down the road that I must travel Kyrie eleison through the darkness of the night Kyrie eleison where I'm going, will you follow? Kyrie eleison on a highway in the night … Kyrie eleison down the road that I must travel (Kyrie, will you follow?) Kyrie eleison through the darkness of the night (yeah) Kyrie eleison where I'm going, will you follow? (Will you follow?) Kyrie eleison on a highway in the night … Kyrie eleison down the road that I must travel Kyrie eleison through the darkness of the night Kyrie eleison where I'm going, will you follow? (Will you follow?) Kyrie eleison on a highway in the light … Kyrie eleison down the road that I must travel (Will you follow?)

The way they pronounce "Kyrie" is the proper pronunciation. Kyrie Eleison means "Lord Have Mercy" in Greek and used in prayer in ith Catholic and Orthodox churches.

[@maxinewebster8273]

Kyrie, the vocative case of the Greek word kyrios (“lord”). The word Kyrie is used in the Septuagint, the earliest Greek translation of the Old Testament, to translate the Hebrew word Yahweh. In the New Testament, Kyrie is the title given to Christ, as in Philippians 2:11.
