Product Description
Despite the rather grisly title, this song is basically a modern retelling of Jesus Parable of the Rich Fool from Luke 12: 16-21.
The land of a rich man produced abundantly. And he thought to himself, What should I do, for I have no place to store my crops? Then he said, I will do this: I will pull down my barns and build larger ones, and there I will store all my grain and my goods. And I will say to my soul, Soul, you have ample goods laid up for many years; relax, eat, drink, be merry. But God said to him, You fool! This very night your life is being demanded of you. And the things you have prepared, whose will they be? So it is with those who store up treasures for themselves but are not rich toward God.
Having being written soon after my graduation from the Humber College music program, the song is of course filled with jazzy altered chords. Also having being written in the 1970s and at a young age, it is probably a bit insensitive towards those who like myself have cardiac issues. Be that as it may, I hope that you will appreciate this step in my musical journey.
The song was recorded by the Christian rock group, Whitestone at the Masters Workshop studio in Toronto. The members of Whitestone were: Marc Cooper (lead guitar), Jim Dell (vocals, guitar), John Dell (drums), David Kai (keyboards), Tony Melles (vocals), Nancy Mohr (vocals), Detlef Sertl (bass).
