A pop star who was ‘versed in Christ’
At The Imaginative Conservative, Bradley Birzer paid tribute to Mark Hollis, the recently deceased singer of the pop group Talk Talk. After huge success, he started “creating music for the sake of beauty rather than for the sake of profit”.
The first track of the album Spirit of Eden begs “the Lord to rage against injustice. Over its nearly 20-minute length, the song moves from the sound of seascapes to an utterly cacophonous passion, finally resolving with a recognition that a man is inherently flawed and, thus, unable to perfect all things.”
