The final blog post I shall be submitting onto ‘One Love’ is inspired by the Faithless club track namely ‘God is a Dj’. The track can be shown below. The club track lyrics states that ‘This is my Church’ meaning the club scene.
The club has been described as a new way of discovering spiritual expression, a new way to worship laden with religious imagery. The Dj is likened to God, the creator, who uses his mixes to spiritual enrich the listeners. The club is the follower’s temple, the place they take part in the rituals. Radio one picked up on this trend using the slogan ‘Clubs are the new church.’ Ibiza the holy land for clubbers housing some of the biggest clubs in the world, the scene there encourages its visitors to lose themselves and reflect on the larger questions in life. Clubbers often experience overly worldly experiences, with the use of strobe lights, booming base and repetitive movements.
While the club sound can differ, the scene represents common values of freedom, spirituality and expression. This is comparable to religion in the sense that many religions have common values but the way they practice often differ. The song Faithless song lyrics site that ‘this is where I heal my hurt’ and ‘Solutions and remedies, enemies becoming friends.’ Things that we all hope to find through spiritual expression. ~ One Love x
