One of us

Hya guys,

it's me again.
I have to say thank you, to all of you, 'cause we've reached 720 hits on this blog since it started out on October 31th.720 people from at least 20 different countries. I can only see the 10 countries that had the most people reading (Belgium, the US, Mexico, Germany, Canada, Hungary, the Philippines, Slovenia, Maleysia and Australia) but I know there are more, because of earlyer statistics (the Netherlands, Alaska, Thailand, Romania, Russia, Peru, Australia, Indonesia, Italy, Pakistan, Sweden, Singapore, EL Salvador, Ecuador, Argentina, Brazil, Switzerland, Japan, Mongolia, Serbia, South Korea, Chili, Denmark, Austria, the UK, Spain, India, Slovakia, Saoedi-Arabia and France for example) So many different countries, with so many different religions.

And that's what brings me to "Grilled Cheesus" an episode from the second season of "Glee". It's the story line about the dad of one of those kids. He had a heart attack and all of the other members of the groupe try to let that boy know that they are there for him. The point of it all: they have also different religions, different beliefs. And the episode ends with a cover of "One of us" and I was just really touched, I guess that the best way to put in word how it feels, by the whole episode. I'm not so much of a believer, not in God anyway, but it showed me there has to be something, something that's sacred to me, something I can hold on to no matter what. And the fact that I lay awake with the very question the song "One of us" is all about is the reason I really wanted to share it with you. I've put the ending of the episode down below.

I hope you enjoy it as much as I did. I know there is talking in it, I'm sorry for that. Yes, there are better versions to find if I don't want to have the talking in it, but then you wouldn't be able to see the performance. It's not that special. It's really simple actually but that's the beauty of the whole act. But that's just my opinion. It's up to you to make your own opinion on it, and if you have the time I'd like you to send me your thoughts about the whole religion/beliefs thing.

Olive you.

  1. Don't believe in God, or at least not much. I do like the song though. I know every word from the first to the last ;-)
