Dub may have a new favorite singer/songwriter


You guys need to check out Susan Werner. I heard about her today on a podcast talking about her new album on which she wrote and performs her own original "agnostic gospel" music. The album is called "The Gospel Truth". She is really brilliant...both as a writer and a performer. My two favorites so far are "Probably Not" and "(Why is Your) Heaven So Small".

Check out the lyrics for the latter:

(Why Is Your) Heaven So Small

excuse me sir, what did you say?
when you shout so loud, it's hard to tell
you say that i must change my ways
for i am surely bound to hell

well i know you'd damn me if you could
but my friend, that's simply not your call
if god is great and god is good
why is your heaven so small

you say you know you say you've read
that holy bible up on your shelf
do you recall when jesus said
judge not, lest ye be judged yourself

for i know you'd damn me if you could
but my friend, that's simply not your call
if god is great, and god is good
why is your heaven so small

with your fists that shake, and your eyes that burn
what makes you do these things you do?
i would not be surprised to learn
someone somewhere excluded you

but my friend, imagine it if you would
a love much mightier than us all
o if god is great and god is good
why is your heaven
so small
