This Song Was Meant For You
on February 6, 2016 at 12:01 amLive for the moment, Danny! Lightly swear!
“Is A Song Forever?” gets its title from the lyrics of “This Song Was Meant For You,” a song by Third Day, a Contemporary Christian Music band that’s basically the Jesus version of … I think Hootie and the Blowfish. The song is inlined above and I am sorry. I mean, not sorry. Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha.

Ok show of hands who’s in college right now and has a job miss paying bills and taxes right now?
*Raises hand*
In law school missing the standard paycheck and bills from the job I had before
Sometimes I have nightmares where I’m in college again. Thankfully, that’s been over and done for years now. I’ll take the bills and taxes anytime.
Aye
“Is a Song Forever?” is a Contemporary Christian Music reference? And all these years I thought it was a referencing some mainstream rock song that was extremely popular with white people, but entirely unknown to myself.
Anyhoo, I’m getting a Jay Sherman vibe from Panel Four up there..
Is a Song Forever Young?
Aw c’mon, among Christian rock bands Third Day is among the few that one cannot find that much of a fault in either lyrics or music. It is not a requirement for being atheist to mock everything Christian regardless of merit, you know.
The comparison to Hootie and the Blowfish is ace, though.
I listened to the hell out of Third Day back in the day. Still, I would say they are…not good.
OG Newsboys (pre-worship phase and lineup change) holds up surprisingly well, though.
I’ve listened to Third Day for about two decades. They’re not Hootie and the Blowfish. I’d put them closer to the Black Crowes.
Joe thinks Danny is responsible? Ah yeah, right.
Well, compared to him.
Joe doesn’t even know what consequences are.
I’m reminded of reading the old kids’ books my grandmothers had around, and the kid protagonists saying something “stinks”, and the adults being all shocked and like, “Oh, that’s a bad word! Say ‘smells’!”
So, yeah, Danny’s swearing is about the level of children’s book protagonists from like 1948.
A few years back my parents gave me one of them $5-after-the-mail-in-rebate MP3 players. It came with some stuff preloaded, which I tossed onto my stereo’s RAID without actually listening to before loading my own music. A couple months ago, I was cleaning up the stereo’s filesystem and ran across it, and actually listened to it and did some investigating into the artists and stuff so I could tag and file it properly, and turns out most of it is Christian Pop and Christian Hip-Hop and Christian Rock and Christian Idunnowhatthefuck. I’m not sure whether that was deliberate proselytization on the MP3 player manufacturer’s part, or whether that was just what they could get that they could afford the royalties for on the like three cents of profit they made on the things.
And it’s all awful. My first reaction was, “This is totally what Joyce had playing at her party, isn’t it. How did Walky not gouge his eardrums out?”
I wonder if Danny’s so harsh about responsibility because every time he veers off course somebody dies to impart a moral lesson.
When he was a child he was bitten by a radioactive wet blanket.
Oh damn. Im a dolt and didn’t realise this was a new archive. I should pay attention to dates more. Now my life is ruined.
This webcomic is getting super real for me now that I’m entering collage.
I was so scared of entering collage and not fucking up my life, and now I’m even more scared about what’s after it. Thanks a lot, Danny.
Clearly Joe needed to offer Danny $20 to get more vulgar language.
“Carpe diem” is how non-tools say YOLO.
But Carpe Diem has nothing to do with owls.
