Good Friday this time, and also Passover. For Good Friday from The Greatest Album Ever Made, Ocean Rain by Echo & The Bunnymen, you can choose between the brutal ‘Thorn of Crowns’ or this one in the video lede, the manic ‘My Kingdom.’
The sonic clues are hard to miss here. The Will Sergeant guitar solo goes nowhere, alternating between two or three notes, suggesting someone who is unable to move, yea, verily, someone who’s been nailed to a cross. As well, from the 3:03 mark to the 3:06 mark, it sounds like something’s being hammered in. Crucial listening! Of course, the lyrics drive all the meaning of this song home to the Right Hand of the Father. Or something like that. Chag pesach sameach, plus a solemn Good Friday to the faithful!
