Jesus Christ Superstar(1973) by Kobojunkie: 3:03am On Jun 08, 2020

Overture lyrics


The Overture is heard over images of a troupe preparing their version of the Passion Play. They arrive out inm the Israeli desert in a bus with a cross attached to the roof along with many other props. As the performers unload off of the bus you get a feeling of celebration so often attributed to the late 60s, early 70s. They costume themselves. When the overture exchos the '39 lashes', they remove the cross from the roof and when the overture breaks into a jubilant "Superstar", we are introduced to Jesus appearing from a pile of people... Could we start?

Heaven On Their Minds lyrics
JUDAS

My mind is clearer now.
At last all too well
I can see where we all soon will be.
If you strip away The myth from the man,
You will see where we all soon will be. Jesus!
You've started to believe
The things they say of you.
You really do believe
This talk of God is true.
And all the good you've done
Will soon get swept away.
You've begun to matter more
Than the things you say.

Listen Jesus I don't like what I see.
All I ask is that you listen to me.
And remember, I've been your right hand man all along.
You have set them all on fire.
They think they've found the new Messiah.
And they'll hurt you when they find they're wrong.

I remember when this whole thing began.
No talk of God then, we called you a man.
And believe me, my admiration for you hasn't died.
But every word you say today
Gets twisted 'round some other way.
And they'll hurt you if they think you've lied.
Nazareth, your famous son should have stayed a great unknown
Like his father carving wood He'd have made good.
Tables, chairs, and oaken chests would have suited Jesus best.
He'd have caused nobody harm; no one alarm.

Listen, Jesus, do you care for your race?
Don't you see we must keep in our place?
We are occupied; have you forgotten how put down we are?

I am frightened by the crowd.
For we are getting much too loud.
And they'll crush us if we go too far.
If they go too far....

Listen, Jesus, to the warning I give.
Please remember that I want us to live.
But it's sad to see our chances weakening with every hour.
All your followers are blind.
Too much heaven on their minds.
It was beautiful, but now it's sour.
Yes it's all gone sour.

Listen, Jesus, to the warning I give.
Please remember that I want us to live.
C'mon, c'mon
He won't listen to me ...
C'mon, c'mon
He won't listen to me ...

The face behind the mask is exposed here. It is only enemies of the Cross that will get excited with the lyrics of this blasphemous play. I wonder why these atheists who are worse than demons bother to pretend to be Christians by quoting scriptures that they don't believe in, are you cowards? undecided

Blasphemy ke? You are just mad because I reported that even Kumuyi is a false prophet/MOG, right? Well, the man is. Or do I need to spell it out for you?
Be sure to enjoy the movie. It is an awesome movie... get that brain of yours thinking too

The fact that you enjoy this blasphemous movie is all the evidence I need to know that your opinion doesn't matter. If you can endorse this satanic movie that denigrates Jesus Christ who needs your advice on who a real man of God is because you have no clue. undecided

I see you keep throwing around the word "Blasphemous" but you have yet to state the blasphemous content of the movie.

Not to defend andrew lloyd weber(an unbeliever in my book) in any bit, but I have seen this movie more than 100 times, and I know the lyrics offhand, and I have found nothing of this movie DENIGRATES Jesus Christ as you claim, so please get to pointing out the aspects that do.

Note that blasphemy is as defined by Jesus Christ and not your MOGs.

Don't tell me, show me what it is in the lyrics Jesus Christ would consider Blasphemous.

Would it have been better if the words were not lyrics to a song but thoughts voiced/spoken by the man named Judas Iscariot who walked with Jesus Christ?

It will be better for you to watch and listen to what Billy Graham said about 'Jesus the Superstar' and see if Jesus is what He said He is and more. undecided

So, you level accusations against the movie and when called to provide evidence of the claim you made against said show, you instead want me to watch what your prefer?
By the way, where did Jesus Christ state that it would be better for me to watch Bill Graham than to watch the movie 'Jesus Christ Superstar"? And again, never confuse what your MOGs have fed you all with, with the words of Jesus Christ.

Peter, the apostle, warned people about ALL MOGs (False Prophets and Teachers), from about 2000 years ago.

2 Peter 2 vs 1-7 (ERV)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. In the past there were false prophets among God’s people. It is the same now. You will have some false teachers in your group. They will teach things that are wrong—ideas that will cause people to be lost. And they will teach in a way that will be hard for you to see that they are wrong. They will even refuse to follow the Master who bought their freedom. And so they will quickly destroy themselves.
2. Many people will follow them in the morally wrong things they do. And because of them, others will say bad things about the way of truth we follow.
3. These false teachers only want your money. So they will use you by telling you things that are not true. But the judgment against these false teachers has been ready for a long time. And they will not escape God who will destroy them.

4. When angels sinned, God did not let them go free without punishment. He sent them to hell. He put those angels in caves of darkness, where they are being held until the time when God will judge them.

5. And God punished the evil people who lived long ago. He brought a flood to the world that was full of people who were against God. But he saved Noah and seven other people with him. Noah was a man who told people about living right.

6. God also punished the evil cities of Sodom and Gomorrah. He burned them until there was nothing left but ashes. He used those cities as an example of what will happen to people who are against God.
7. But he saved Lot, a good man who lived there. Lot was greatly troubled by the morally bad lives of those evil people. 8 This good man lived with those evil people every day, and his good heart was hurt by the evil things he saw and heard.

If you cannot, would not watch the videoclip can you at least read about the difference between the real gospel and what you call Jesus the Superstar here?

You leveled claims against the lyrics and up till now, you have yet to produce evidence of any sort of the claim you made.

I have seen that movie over 100 times and the lyrics are in my head, in the sequence they are presented in the movie. If you have a particular issue to make known about the movie in question, make it known here and we can hash it out.

What's The Buzz lyrics
APOSTLES

What's the buzz?
Tell me what's a-happening. (Repeat 8 times)

JESUS

Why should you want to know?
Don't you mind about the future?
Don't you try to think ahead?
Save tomorrow for tomorrow;
Think about today instead.

APOSTLES

What's the buzz?
Tell me what's happening. (Repeat many times)

JESUS

I could give you facts and figures.
Even give you plans and forecasts.
Even tell you where I'm going.

APOSTLES

When do we ride into Jerusalem? (Repeat many times)

JESUS

Why should you want to know?
Why are you obsessed with fighting
Times and fates you can't defy?
If you knew the path we're riding,
You'd understand it less than I.

APOSTLES

What's the buzz?
Tell me what's happening. (Repeat many times)

MARY MAGDALENE

Let me try to cool down your face a bit. (Repeat 5 times)

JESUS

Mary that is good,
While you prattle through your supper,
Where and when and who and how.
She alone has tried to give me
What I need right here and now.

APOSTLES

What's the buzz?
Tell me what's happening. (Repeat many times)

Jesus Christ is the embodiment of the very Words that flow out of the mouth of God. That Word came down in the form of man, God's avatar on earth, to carry out the Will of God, and speak the Truth of God to all those who will hear.

Jesus Christ is a part of God. He is not all of God but a part of God - the word out of God's mouth. Same with the Spirit that lived inside of Jesus Christ. So, yes, I believe He is God but not in the way explained in mainstream doctrines.

Yes, you could say that. Jesus Christ is born of God's essence and He comes out of God(The Words out of God's mouth) so He is a Son of God.

Compare and contrast the first line over the same guitar riff ...
“My mind is clearer now....”
Compare this to the scene where he commits suicide. The same guitar riff but with more distortion...
“My mind is in darkness now...”

I love all the little symmetries like that in the show.
My favourite songs are the prayer at Garden of Gethsemane and the Last Supper.

Egypt, unsuspecting for 430 years and ultimately Pharaoh unaware, were used by God

Satan sef, is being used by God. Sin too, paapaa, as well, is being used by God, lmso.

Whether Andrew Lloyd Webber, Pharaoh, Caiaphas, et cetera, each and all are being used as a means of accomplishing and/or achieving the Godhead's divine purpose in the grand scheme of things


OLA.ADEGBU:
God eventually has the last laugh on all those who took delight in mocking Him. cheesy

MuttleyLaff:
No one is mocking anywhere, what they brilliantly, artistically, dramatically and creatively did in the Jesus Broadway, is exactly what happened in the Bible narratives.

Has funny, dramatic, emotional, tearful, sombre, dark, ugly, smiling, happy, sad, goading, teasing, tempting, praising etcetera moments in it

OLA.ADEGBU:
Are you saying that the drama is a true representation of the biblical account? undecided

MuttleyLaff:
It is what it is, a musical opera/pantomime. Chew the straws, but spit out the sticks

So you feel comfortable drinking water that contains 40% sniper as long as you have 60 clean water? undecided

MuttleyLaff:
" ... if they drink any deadly poison, it will not hurt them ..." (i.e. Mark 16:18)

I know what I am comfortable drinking and what I wont be comfortable drinking. I am not wet behind the ears, that I wont be able to safely drink "Jesus Christ Superstar" I certainly wont recommend it to any Peter Paul or Mary, unless I know how strong they stand in faith and on the Word, lol.

"Jesus Christ Superstar" if placed with the safety pin latch off and with an inexperienced easily influenced and/or highly impressionable person, will be like handing off a loaded gun to an untrained child, fatality waiting to happen.

One minute, I am watching it, laughing, kicking my feet in air, slamming myself on the sette back, then suddenly I am tuned all mushy gushy emotional, eyes all teary and misty up. Its a roller coaster. Love it!

My favourite character in the whole thing. I. Fact one of the accusations levelled at the show is that it seems to be more about Judas as the central character than about Jesus himself. It’s about Judas’ thoughts and issues with Jesus.
It wasn’t just the guys voice I admired, it was his whole charisma, the way he stood and walked and the intensity in his face when he sang.
