The Ridiculousness Of Pop Song Lyrics | Jefferson Bethke

[@JustTurnOnTheCamera]

If Jefferson Bethke ran for President in 2016, thumbs up if you would vote for him!

[@JeffersonBethkepage]

I'm flattered! But first of all you need to be 35 to be President and I'd only be 27 :D but secondly, I think I'll stick to making KZbin videos lol

[@JustTurnOnTheCamera]

***** Haha works for me! You're truly an inspiration man!

[@LifeIs4EverBeautiful]

JustTurnOnTheCamera He definitely would have my vote :)

[@Danny-qv7ut]

***** even if you tried. Satan wouldn't let you lol. And it is the end times so yeah..

[@calenmoore3776]

Hey! I used to always watch your videos! I miss comment patrol

[@RoodianneTide]

"Clap along if you feel like happiness is the truth." False. Jesus is the truth.

[@DestinyTheBeautiful]

everytime I hear that line I think the same thing

[@xenomann442]

Do you know that for sure, or are you just asserting that?

[@RoodianneTide]

Adam Wojtczak I know that for sure.

[@xenomann442]

Roodianne Tide could you run me through what led you to know such things? When I was a Christian I always struggled with certainty, so I'd like to know :)

[@RoodianneTide]

Adam Wojtczak Well, I believe the Bible is the Word of God. So Jesus said in John 14:6 " I am the Way, the Truth and the Life..." That's all I need to know to believe and have confidence that He is the Truth.

[@JeffersonBethkepage]

NEW VIDEO!! The ridiculousness of pop song lyrics (and why no one's booty needs explaining).

[@anuerinle2638]

a room without a roof litterally has no limitations.

[@Lucas747G]

+Jefferson Bethke hey 1 Corinthians 11:9, Neither was the man created for the woman; but the woman for the man.

[@callmewade.3901]

+Lucas Gomes yes that doesn't mean a women can just be used as an object it just means that men and women are meant for each other not men and men (meant no disrespect with that btw)

[@jongwonzaoping8527]

Jefferson Bethke Jeff run for president pls.

[@slb9645]

So when Jason Derulo says "talk dirty to me ner ner ner neerrr ner ner" you say "no, you're a tool." Lololololololo

[@JeffersonBethkepage]

Loving all your guys comments so far!!! Wasn't sure if you guys would be fine with me doing a fun/random video :D PS don't miss being able to get my audiobook for free at jeffbethke.com/audible right now.

[@daianemurray3171]

You and your wife are so awesome! I grew spiritually so much with your videos... keep doing what you're doing... even random videos! HAHA Loved it!

[@JeffersonBethkepage]

Daiane Ribeiro ha! thanks so much that means a ton! Especially that there is grace to do fun vids! :D

[@katherinesinger7058]

Love your videos, Jeff!! Always fun and spiritually challenging. Can't wait for your next book to come out also...I read both yours and Alyssa's - they're great reads! :) Bless you guys for all that you're doing to advance the Kingdom!

[@Dipper723]

For "Happy", Pharrell Williams tweeted, "It is metaphorical for one's space w/out limit."

[@mattedpictures9008]

MEUProductions I actually didn't know the story behind Pompeii. That's a deep meaningful song right there. Thanks for the explanation!!

[@1403AMY]

'Room without a roof' is meant to symbolise freedom! (I did have to google it cause I thought the same)

[@jj5515]

haha ohh .... I had complete diff/ thought on that. I assumed pharrel was on drugs, and "a room without a roof" was him being high. Explaining why he is so happy. :D (Not that i would know what being on drugs is like, side note. haha More of an assumption)

[@maisymallory6253]

Yeah I figured it was supposed to be a metaphor for optimism. If there is no roof the sky's the limit right?

[@jj5515]

Maisy Mallory: True True....

[@T3ARsProductions]

Yeah of something like "Open to the sky",losing yourself,like there's no limit

[@aaliyah9931]

Its like the saying "the sky is the limit ". I like the lyric

[@indiejacob]

Pop songs in general man.....pretty horrible and nonsensical.

[@babujai1]

I love Pharrell's Happy, too. I took the "room without a roof" to mean so full of joy that it can't be contained (blew the roof off) and/or you're open to new reasons to be happy.

[@KarisFaith316]

Well, the "if you close your eyes" line makes sense in context (cuz the city is destroyed but there are moments they want to pretend everything's okay again). But everything else . . . LOL

[@JeffersonBethkepage]

yes! realized this AFTER I made the video! :D

[@annettehernandez7345]

***** can you make a video on why you listen to secular music? N weather its ok or not please im confused on this

[@nousury]

***** I see someone already straightened you out on this great song. You should be pointing out the profound lyrics, such as, "Oh, were do we begin; the rubble or our sin?" If you don't know what this refers to, then you need to read The Harbinger by Jonathan Cahn.

[@cantsilencemylove]

Bastille's Pompeii actually makes sense because they are singing about the eruption of Mount Vesuvius, it's a conversation between two people that were there.... something like that.

[@maisymallory6253]

Yeah I thought Bastille's Pompeii made perfect sense. The whole story of Mount Vesuvius is used as a metaphor for not learning from your mistakes, and making the same mistakes again, and then choosing how to move on from there. Pompeii was built at the base of a volcano which the people knew was dangerous because it had erupted before but they did it anyways. Beginning with the rubble or their sins is a question of if they should rebuild and do the whole process over, or get to the root of the problem and change something.

[@lyricaltherapy6293]

well for the movie yes but for us its aimed to be different

[@TheNathanMac]

Without a roof, so much joy that it just over flows. :D

[@TheNathanMac]

Like being full of the spirit :P

[@SavvyUnLtd]

Agreed sista!! Ain't nothing wrong with that!

[@TheNathanMac]

I'm a brother haha, :D

[@EveryNationWillBow]

Jeremy Camp, Third Day, NeedToBreathe, Hillsong United, Audio Adrenaline, Matt Redman, Newsboys, Jason Gray, Sidewalk Prophets, Hawk Nelson, Phil Wickham, for King & Country, Citizen Way, Crowder, Casting Crowns, Mercy Me. Worship music is the only kind of music you need.

[@TheBiopoem]

Chris Worthington and there is also tons of music that glorifies God that doesn't have a Christian lable slapped on it. God is bigger than people think. Jesus isn't a cult & doesn't fit in a box.

[@mariahosborn1786]

Although I agree with you on so many of these points, the Bastille lyrics and the Pharrell lyrics are both metaphorical and have more meaning to them than the others you mentioned. That's why poetry and music are so beautiful! You can find meaning in things that aren't as apparent as the things we encounter every day.

[@-Gnarlemagne]

You should listen to some Owl City... Those lyrics can be... Something else.

[@marescofamily]

his newer stuff isn't like that anymore. check out his most recent album The Midsummer Station and his Ultraviolet EP. he's matured a ton with his music and lyrics haha

[@-Gnarlemagne]

This is coming from a fan of Owl City, so I like his stuff, it's by no means a criticism. I honestly kinda liked it! Also, not all of it made sense. Just another wolf-bite? But yeah, for the most part it's a lot more sensical.

[@mc_dibia]

Zren no, you should listen to nico and vinz. good beat, good vocals, terrible cringe-worthy lyrics

[@TheBiopoem]

Zren Owl city covered "In Christ Alone" also :) love it

[@TheBiopoem]

Also I think alot of his lyrics can be deeply metaphorical.

[@HananyaNaftali]

That's hilarious! Love the video man! Blessings from Israel.

[@isacfredrikhanson]

""Room without a roof" is a lyric from Pharrell Williams' Oscar nominated song, "Happy." The term, room without a roof, is basically an idiomatic expression meaning that there is no limitation to how far you can take yourself in life." - Urban Dictionary

[@JBaseball777]

That's why I listen to almost exclusively Christian Rap not just Reach Records but RMG, Clear Sight Music, and other various smaller guys because they actually have a meaning and are doing music with a purpose and its not the same thing over and over like regular rap

[@TheBiopoem]

JBaseball777 there is also music without christian lables that glorifies God

[@kharris7247]

Room without a roof = feeling like there is no limit

[@Quiettiger8]

Hi Jefferson! First off, love your videos! They are so very inspirational and really help me along with my walk with Christ. Secondly, my pastor talked about the lyric you mentioned from the song, "Happy", and he explained it in his teaching as to be so happy and so joyous when fully trust God with our lives that you feel like you have no limits, no glass ceiling in life to break through! Pretty awesome way to feel!

[@cuteduck72]

Love how versatile these videos are! Your videos have helped me grow so much as a Christian and I'm so thankful for that. I love reading/watching any video you make! Keep being brilliant and God bless!

[@MelDel319]

Thank you for this video! 😉 lol I so have to find a way to post this on my Instagram !

[@faithchristina3688]

This video just cracked me up!! Seriously...you are the BEST! Honestly I don't listen to a lot of popular songs, but this just made me happy lol! I love all your stuff, the funny things, and the serious things! The funny things crack me up, the serious things help me remember just how much God loves me! KEEP UP WHAT YOU DO! You're impacting more lives than you think! :D

[@candiestorie176]

"...My booty is pretty self-explanatory"? XD

[@lauracui8139]

i don't listen to mainstream pop anymore... only alternative pop and rock and instrumental

[@candiestorie176]

I'm not a huge fan on popular music today. Or of society today in general...

[@christian3309]

Your videos and book have helped me so much!!! Thank you!! Praise be to God forever and ever! Can't wait to meet you in heaven :)

[@JeffersonBethkepage]

wow! thanks so much!!!

[@polarBEAR819]

Dude! Your hands move a lot when you talk. You may not wanna stand too close to someone when you're talking or else you may take their eye out lol Your daughter is adorable she looks just like you btw.

[@Pudgeums316]

Pesonally man I love his hand motions. It would be so awkward if he didn't have them! ha! The best an the most interesting professors and teachers I had used a lot of hand motions!

[@christianoliverio2109]

Your daughter is adorable.

[@checkoutmyplaylist]

Doesn't discernment tell you that those people are of the world and there music is as well? "Christians be like" I only listen to the songs because of the beat. Oh the same beat that was originally made with satanic lyrics to glorify Satan ? I didn't understand at first but, now I see. Why listen to a beat of a song that was originally made for satanic purposes. Christians don't take spiritual warfare strong enough, they will listen to a song that talks about sex From Time To time, Then Wonder Why They Have Trouble fornicating. The battle is spiritual and we can't see everything that is going on, that's why we should TRY to remain clear from things that are not of God, even if it seems pleasant.

[@anhu92]

Truth be told. Most Christians today don't have mental hygiene. They listen to bad things, saying it doesn't affect them, but that's exactly what the enemy wants them to think.

[@eliciavaldez3157]

+carqqer God doesn't send people to hell they send themselves.

[@xenomann442]

How arrogant of a statement that is. Imagine for a second that after you die, you find yourself in the Islamic version of hell. And after exclaiming "Do I really deserve to be tortured for all time in this place?" Allah tells you "Hey Bud, you sent yourself here." Now apply that in reverse, and that is exactly what you're saying.

[@eliciavaldez3157]

Adam Wojtczak Well allah isnt God so. And it is not an ignorant statment because its true.

[@xenomann442]

Elicia Valdez Actually Allah is just the arabic word for God. But even if he weren't, what does that matter? My analogy is sound. Also I said arrogant not ignorant.

[@eliciavaldez3157]

Adam Wojtczak okay 👍

[@xenomann442]

Elicia Valdez Do you get what I'm saying?

[@angelbozan4797]

I enjoy watching your videos all the time. They really inspire me. I also, love your Spoken Word Poetry; It's awesome! Keep doing what you do Jeff, and these hilarious random vids as well!

[@lydiasuraya]

This was funny, but you took the Bastille lyric out of context. The song takes place after the destruction of a city (or metaphorically a relationship), so the persona suggesting that, should you "close your eyes" (metaphorically close off your mind, or literally turn your eyes away from the destruction), "does it feel like nothing changed at all" - that everything was still as it was before everything went badly. So, yeah, it does make sense if you read/listen to it in the context of the rest of the song and the scenario it is describing. I love your channel, though, and have found the teaching and relationship videos very helpful :)

[@leahbrie97]

Love your videos! So positive, uplifting and FUNNY!! You also have a beautiful family! Thank you for making your videos and sharing Gods love!

[@DaniieJo5]

As much as I despise the song "Happy", the line about a room without a roof is like you feel limitless and can accomplish anything. Loved the video😊

[@pipwolverine]

I think the "room without a roof" could be reference to when a show/concert goes really well and the audience is crazy happy and "raise the roof" with their applause.

[@omegasoldier382]

If you were in a room with no roof, as odd as it is, there is an amount of open-ness and freedom. He means that you feel open and free because you're happy. Something like that.

[@10jak3zo3]

For the song "Happy", the verse "Clap along if you feel like a room without a roof" is a metaphor for when you're so happy that you can't contain it, like a roof contain the room/house, but a house without a roof can't be contained, the happiness have to be shared or something like that.

[@normaortega4654]

Thank you and so true! I remember growing up, middle school & high school years, and saying, "I like the beat of the music, I'm not listening to the words." Wrong! God bless you & your beautiful, growing family.

[@anav73]

Great video!

[@FREEBIRD1231000]

Keep up the good work Jeff all your videos are really awesome cant wait to the recent updated ones I love u man.

[@NahsonWren]

One of my favorite things about music is that there can be so many interpretations; finding a significant meaning sometimes just takes a few more listens

[@bardsonly6069]

For the line "when you close your eyes does it almost feel like nothing's changed at all" the first time I heard that line, I took a step back for what it made me think, not that anything around me, in the room or even in the house had really changed all that much when I closed my eyes. But my mind went to what I didn't see even when my eyes were open, the lives in the house around, the relationships the connections the dynamics of everything in this seemingly complex world God gave us. As well as how when you close your eyes, and fall asleep and wake up the next morning, doesn't feel like anything's changed,though you don't know what went on while you were asleep.

[@QuietSkectcher]

I honestly need more channels like yours on KZbin! It's so refreshing to have a modern, simple outlook on Jesus and positive talks about him when it seems like every other praise video is either an hour long sermon, or a mockery of Jesus. Thanks for doing what you do!

[@bellwhite1284]

Hey! In the song happy I believe the room with no roof is symbolizing the person as the home and the roof almost like the thing holding them back almost like a seal, so when he says a room with out a room he is stating how he feels free nothing is holding him down, open and real. Great video! I love your channel!! God is doing great thinks through you, and its really awesome to see the ways God is working through you.

[@TimmyC91]

Ahhhhh I'm so happy I subscribed! :D I love your videos wether they're random, or informative. I love it all! Please keep up the great work ^_^!

[@Jemeisha.Williams]

I love this video, you never realize how crazy some lyrics are until you actually read or listen to them. I think the "room without a roof" line is referring to being free, and having complete freedom to be happy and express yourself. A room with a roof is almost trapped and nothing can escape but a room without a roof gives way for freedom, and expression of happiness. Weird Metaphor! Love your videos!

[@lnicole817]

I absolutely love videos where you (or you and Alyssa) share your wisdom. However, this is a funny way to mix it up, yet still get you thinking. Keep doing what you're doing, you're a true inspiration :) "Do you ever feel like a plastic bag, drifting through the wind, wanting to start again?" has had me confused for a couple years now haha.

[@MizzTrinaNY]

I find myself singing these ever so catchy songs and since I've been a Christian I find it more and more difficult to listen to them once I really understand what the artist is saying.. It actually makes me feel a bit disgusted and I hope and pray my children don't take these songs seriously they are a total joke! My 7 year old sings that fancy and talk dirty to me song and when he does I can see his pure innocence he doesn't understand really what the artist is saying but I know one day he will it's scary!! I know for now its in good fun but I think I need to reevaluate what I allow him to listen to before it becomes something worse! Love your videos you are an inspiration!!! I have your wife's book and have found so much encouragement and comfort in it!! Thank you guys you are awesome!!

[@bridgey143]

PREAAAACH! Thank you so much for making this video!!!!

[@davidamarroquin]

That line in the song "Happy" that mentioned is what I've been asking myself the same exact thing! WHAT IN THE WORLD DOES A ROOM WITHOUT A ROOF FEELS LIKE!? Lol!! Funny video man.

[@samkohler9904]

When I heard Happy. I thought a "room without a roof" meant you're taking in life as it comes. A room without a roof gets a lot of sunshine... but i guess gets a lot of rain too. Maybe it means there is no ceiling to your happiness.

[@DrumNinja100]

"Room without a roof" you're so happy that you feel you have no limits or boundaries as to be "trapped" in a room with a roof

[@izzycohen9]

So regarding your question about "Happy", when you think about the actual layout of a room, you have four walls, a floor and a ceiling, right? Okay, but if you want to go up, the ceiling keeps you from going up or looking up. When you're clapping along if you feel like a room without a roof, you have nothing holding you back. You're going up (or forward), going after what you want, doing what you want. Nothing and nobody can stop you.

[@catalystcatastrophe1629]

Great Video Jeff! And hahaha YES! The part about Fancy with the fast lane from L.A. to Tokyo I have been saying for weeks!

[@torimiceli257]

This cracks me up! My parents don't allow secular music in out home but we can listen when not at home. I've never taken the time to think about the lyrics (Well, except "happy" because the "room without a roof" thing threw me for a loop.) because I only hear it maybe once or twice. But I do have to say my mom loved this video.

[@shaiglitter360]

"A room with out a roof" means that you feel on top of the world and that nothing can stop you for example the roof over your head. Bastilles lyrics are very poetic and the natural disaster of Pompeii is being compared to a situation in life that is very chaotic, hoping that if he closes his eyes and doesn't have to see what is going on in front of him, it is for him, as if nothing changed.

[@cdpyouth]

Awesome man, thanks for your videos!

[@zoryvega4938]

i love your videos is so helpful. may the lord bless keep doing your doing. Blessings

[@VrieChica078]

I love that line in Happy. I've always thought of it as if you have no limits, like you're free

[@lalitaconquest6635]

The lyric, "I feel like a room without a roof", I think that's a way of saying he (Pharell) doesn't feel constricted or pressured in anyway, and feels free, which goes along with him being happy.

[@YouAreLovelie]

Lol in the song Pompeii, that line means that even if he expected to feel sad or empty "when the walls kept tumbling down, in the city that we loved" he could close his eyes and not feel any different. He's talking both about Pompeii and indirectly about his life.

[@davidbyres6738]

The reason they say that in the song Pompeii is because they wrote the song based on what someone might have thought when Pompeii was destroyed. So closing your eyes might refer to the fact that you can no longer see the destruction and therefore it feels as though nothing has changed.

[@melispena]

What an gentle way to bring conviction to the music of today! Thank you for your loving ways! You shut down the corrupt messages of today's music in such a cool relaxing manner. Love it! I tell you tho, this is why I do not allow any wordly music into my system. I cant deal with separating or mourning the Holy Spirit to satisfy my flesh for a 2minute song. Bless You!

[@KarinaEijo]

@KingCJ: I think you are right! I think Pharrell was right when he said "clap along if you feel like a room without a roof" because when you're happy or when you're positive, there's really no limit on what a person can be happy about. Just like love and hate, happiness knows no bounds in the sense that when you ARE happy, you keep finding more things to be happy and grateful for. Love your videos, Jeff!

[@83mb300d]

What is so funny is that KZbin had a ridiculous pop song commercial before the video.

[@FarAwayDistance]

I love your videos haha

[@eutunozes]

There are several songs here in Brazil that do not make sense, and one of the "best" is the one that says "kiss the shoulder to move away from repression"

[@kamikaze3445]

+Jefferson Bethke In the song Happy, when he says "If you feel like a room without a roof", he's talking about raising the roof. Which means to have a very exciting and energetic time. It's rap lingo.

[@dearepiphany]

LOOOL "actually she's still alive so she's probably not rolling" hahaha oh Jeff, your videos always make me laugh at the most unexpected parts

[@crcabrera4]

Thank you for this video!!! I totally agree with you!!!

[@mpaulino209]

Love love love this video! Laughed the whole time! And kinsley is adorable! Love the song happy as well!

[@clarakabura7543]

I am watching this in 2017 and have been watching your old videos,and I like the way you have an opinion, you don't want to sustify people you just say what you think which is what we need.

[@nicklitt779]

I love it Justin! I have been a fan of your videos for a long time and I have actually wanted to make one speaking on the lyrics of modern day mainstream music and how insane it is that people are actually listening to it... but they can't be listening to it... not really ... right... its like a switch that once you turn on ... you can never turn off again...lyrics are a combination of words generally if not always are used in combination to convey a message, statement, question, opinion... something that makes since and that we as the listeners can attempt to interpret the message or messages the artist is trying to get across... but these songs now a days dont talk about nething even relative or in the least bit significant. At the same time this is becoming the back ground noise for most young people and its like it is just wearing down on there intellect and creativity. One of my absolute favorite musicians is Hopsin, this is because his lyrics are loaded with significant ideas and points that are real, tru, and relevant. In one song called "whats my purpose" he says the following lyric... or raps it... or whatever... - How can a man with power feel there's no responsibility? These rappers blowing up but through my eyes their not as real to me. they constantly conceal the beast and never try to heal the streets, teaching girls to be a slut but never make them feel unique, how can we feel fine this way? open up your minds today, the matrix got you sprung, workin off a debt you'll spend your life to pay" ... and so on and so forth. TRUTH is TRUTH... point blank .

[@EmilysongsT]

I love this video. It's so much fun :D and you move your hands so fast its kinda crazy, I like itt

[@ianrouse2929]

A Room Without A Roof Means You Have No Limits And Can Do What You Want or Acheive What Your Dreams

[@MissMassacre911]

I like these fun/random videos!! You should do more :)

[@mollymcgreevy6062]

This is a great video. A must watch for sure

[@stargirl11223]

Lol great video! For Pharrell's song I interpret that lyric "clap along if you feel like a room without a roof" to mean clap along if you feel free, open, relaxed. But you are right the lyrics in songs are ridiculous. Love your vids!

[@peterjohnsmusic]

I just finished a song writing session and then saw this... extra motivation to not suck xD

[@AlliOsmond]

I had a very big discussion with my best friend and his siblings about the line from the Happy song, "clap along if you feel like a room without a roof". I believe that it means that there are no limits to your happiness; nothing is going to hold you back from being happy. My friend argued that we, as humans, cannot fly, therefore the lack of roof would not hold us down. I still stand by my answer, however, because I think that the lyrics are more figurative than literal, as are most song lyrics.

[@faithoakley879]

Jeff! Love your videos and absolutely agree with you on this one! Keep up the good work! :D

[@LivinForChrist90]

WOW! I am glad you talked about these topics from the song lyrics and its been a long time since I have looked at song lyrics and really looked at the meanings behind them:/ This was def. a funny topic to talk about:)

[@seanflanagan8410]

Hi Jefferson, just wondering what you meant by 'subject' when you was talking about women not being objects? tried to look it up on google but still makes no sense?... Love what you do, keep it up. GOD bless you and your family :)

[@SpraklyKiraKira]

In the English sentence structure, the subject is of what/whom the sentence is made. Meaning they are the essence of the sentence (dominating the sentence). An object is something/someone that is acted upon the subject. So, that being said, he meant women are not just someone you can just act upon with you being the "essence" (read: selfishly). I hope I explain it well enough. God bless!

[@alexnax4978]

Loved this so much!!!!

[@faithspiteri689]

You saying booty cracked me up! :D

[@VanessaGonzalez-mj4br]

Good thing you caught on to this before your baby girl started talking. I didn't pay attention unit mine was singing along to 50 cents candy shop, imagine my five year old singing "I got the magic stick". So wrong! Sometimes its kinda hard being a good parent, because I love hip hop, but I couldn't keep that kind of influence around my kids. Now I know every lyric to almost all Disney cds. Lol Thank you for sharing your life journeys with us. Your baby girl is beautiful and you guys are doing an awesome job raising her.

[@T4jesusnow]

Your daughter is ADORABLE. This is so cool! Love it!

[@joshuadjernigan]

Explaination of Pharrell Williams lyric "Clap along if you feel like a room without a roof" A roof, which can be thought about as a “ceiling”, is the highest point in the house, the limit. “Without a roof” symbolizes that there is no barrier, and that is to show how limitless his happiness is. The sun shines happiness and the roof blocks the sun so if there was no roof everyone would be happy.

[@diannapittman1558]

This was my comedy for today. Love It!!

[@elisehamilton5379]

Im a christian but am a little disappointed that there are so many comments saying this is satans music. ( i really hope you all who said that are joking ) I dont really listen to a lot of this kind of music anyways and i dont really like the lyrics because they have no depth. But just because there is music not about God, it doesnt make it satans music, because people wrote it and it sounds like your calling them satan for writing the lyrics they write. Jesus doesnt condemn them then as christians we shouldnt either so stop calling it satans music because it insults the artist. And in a way could insult God.

[@jadebaker8752]

Hi, I didn't write any of the previous comments that you are speaking of, nor have I read them. However, a lot of the songs on the radio the artists are singing lyrics glamourizing things that God hates. It's brainwashing people. The artists themselves aren't necessarily satanists and even if they were God still loves them just like me and you. However I don't believe he likes it when people are singing about their sins and making it more socially acceptable "I cant feel my face when I'm with you" "lets get drunk and fight" I feel it grieves the Holy Ghost. But God is merciful and we shouldn't condemn others. I've done a lot of major sin in my life that could have killed me and hurt others and God forgave me and spared my life countless times and I just want more than anything to be with him forever and ever and be his child

[@bryanhernandez3127]

Your awesome i really like ur ideas on todays music i agree with you a lot

[@Maestroman1234]

Jefferson, I saw when you were at Wilfred Laurier University in Waterloo, Ontario back in the winter. This video is something else! too funny! :)

[@doorstoppers960]

I actually liked that verse where if you close your eyes and it feels like nothing changes. I think he mean even in the dark he can see as if his eyes weren't closed

[@emilywillyson7]

[@paintballgun10]

Thank you for making this!!!!!

[@MsMegareader]

Ph areal ' s happy makes perfect sense because it's a metaphor for how an individual feels. It's like saying I'm feeling like a million bucks. He's saying because I am happy, u can clap along if u feel like no limitation. This is because a room without a roof is is a template for more rooms to be added on top of it to create more rooms, or it has nothing on it at all which leaves am inhibited space where the sky is the limit.

Just wanted to thank you for inspiring me I have been feeling like I needed to do a sermon at my youth group I have never done one before and found your why I hate religion, but love Jesus video and it has inspired me to do a sermon completely based around it! So yea thanks for the inspiration man! You're awesome!

Totally agree as a mom of 4 kids it's hard to keep the radio station on a Christian station they all want to listen to diffrent music, and I found the only music that I can trust for their ears is setting every button to a christian station. Thanks for the videos I'm a new Jefferson fan and think your such a blessing to the Internet Web.. God bless

A room without a roof means your not in a box. Your free

At the "final ceremony" of secondary school my class wanted to play "Highway to hell". At the end I was the only one who sat in the audience while my whole class danced on stage. All in all i think it was the right decision, and i didn't miss anything. (At the moment it was hard for me, because some friends, who are christians took part of it, and they didn't overthink that at all)
