We went to the Rock group "The Ark" last performance on Friday. It was my son who wanted to go and it was the last day of the annual Malmo Festival so I joined my son.
The Ark is not my favourite band but they have an interesting sound that is a bit familiar to David Bowie ( some might not agree though)
One of the first songs was " Breaking up with God"
The lyrics is like this
I heard the call, but I won't follow
'Cause now I'm breaking up with God
I've had it with shame, I've had it with sorrow
Now I'm breaking up with God
And the devil too
Now I wanna dance the night away
Well Mr Ola Salo ( the singer) You might want to break up with God, but God has not broke up with you. Like an earthly father who has problems with his son, he will not kick you out.
You are breaking up with both God and the Devil, but isn't it so Mr Salo that you want to be God yourself?
He will care for you, h
Living in a city as I am, in Malmo, Sweden, it feels natural to talk about bridges.In the year 2000 we got a bridge over the Sound to Copenhagen, Denmark. A bridge between two nations once fighting each other, now connected.We need to continue to build bridges, between different cultures, ideas, people etc. These bridges are harder to build but necessary in the society we have today.We need these bridges in order to reach people with the "Good news"
