Neko Case -- "John Saw That Number"
There's some pretty psychedelic stuff in Revelation. John the Revelator must have been taking halluciongens, or perhaps he was spending a lot of time in a cave experiencing sensory deprivation -- a traditional tactic for mystics. Fortunately, you don't have to be experiencing a psychedelic vision to enjoy this song (Revelations, however, is another story). What Neko Case captures here is gospel in the truest sense, that full-bodied moment of feeling when the spirit is in you. It's the meeting of body and spirit, and the best way to feel it is to fill your lungs with air, then belt it out. Religiously, I'm not really sure about much of anything. Music -- that's something I can believe in.
