Re: Passion Play

[Erica L. Trudelle]

I'm sure other people here can give you a more definite answer, but I read (here) that Joni was possibly inspired to write "Passion Play" after attending an actual Passion Play (which I think is recreation of sorts having to do with Jesus' death) Don't hold me to that, I just remember some other listers mentioning it within the last 6 months. I was just listening to this song about 20 minutes ago, I love it!!!! "who you gonna get to do the dirty work when all the slaves are free......." it's a timeless line that works on so many levels.....oh and I love when she calls Jesus a "magical physician" (I am reading a book in which someone calls the Dalai Lama a "spiritual physician", it made me think of that lyric)
Hope this helps some what.

NP: "For Free"



I would love to hear people's thoughts on "Passion Play (When All The Slaves Are Free)" particularly the lyrics. What exactly is this song about? It seems to me to be a quasi love song/protest song but I'd love to hear some interpretations if you are so inclined.
