I'm just on here to say....I've fallen in love with this song again, but more!

It's my own LC "thing" (and I know not everyone's "thing") but more and more every song has spiritual/religious significance to me. June in the Catholic Church is Sacred Heart month, and I love his reference to the Sacred Heart in this song, and every lyric about human nature, longing, pride, unhappiness, greed, etc....followed by what was suffered on the Cross.

I think I will be playing this every day, all month!

That’s really beautiful! I love how music can take on new meanings for us, especially when we connect it to our own experiences. I’ve had songs that I played on repeat during certain months or seasons, and they ended up feeling like a soundtrack to my life at that time. It sounds like this one really resonates with your feelings about faith and human struggles.

The way music reflects those deeper feelings really resonates. I love that you're finding such meaning in the lyrics!
