I got this track as my phone ringtone. Last day, it rang when i was in class. The teacher was supossed to take it, though, he said with a smile on his face: "let it sound, what an awesome song... *-*"
The lyrics are actually based on Revelation 6:16 from the Holy Bible. A scary visualization of Judgement Day and hence the reason to the title of this song, "Sinnerman" when sinner"men" will ask for the rocks to hide them from God.
First time i heard that music was at the movies watching Miami Vice (2006) I just loved this son beside the fact that it plays for like 40 seconds in the beggining of the movie. I remember that music today and I'm really happy to find it here! Great song, great singer, great remix!
Most of today's dance music kinda irritates me..., hearing this randomly on the radio had a very positive effect, you know. I smiled like the happiest dude on the globe
The original cut of this song from 1956 was ahead of its time and a pretty aggressive song for the era. The tempo alone wasn’t all that common. This was sort of heavy metal for the era, at least in terms of sheer brute force. An amazing tune and so many killer covers including Felix Da Housecat’s version!
Oh Sinnerman, where you gonna run to ? Sinnerman, where you gonna run to ? Where you gonna run to, All along dem day ? I said, "Rock, what's a matter with you rock ? Don't you see I need you, rock, Lord, Lord, Lord, All along dem day ? "
I agree! I first heard this version in the movie Cellular (with Chris Evans and Jason Statham) and immediately loved! I can't hear it and not think of that movie which I also loved.
I had this tune stuck in my head since forever and I would always play it in my head but I could never figure out the name of the song. I have just hummed the melody on Google and here I am! I am so happy I have finally found this song after so many years!
These sins are the deadly sins because they harm yourself at the same time you harm others. Gluttony for example indicates you consume too much which when all material things are finite means in or order to feed your gluttony others must do without. Pride is a very special one,why it was Lucifer's own sin. Pride (in the biblical sense) means you place yourself above all others, therefore you falsely build yourself up higher than humanly possible and often to achieve this one knocks others down so that climb isn't such a long climb. Lucifer placed himself above God, and brought down 1/3 of the angels with him.
The "pride" you are likely referring to is really self actualization which in and of itself is not a sin but it's a dangerous gateway to pride if it grows beyond moderation.
