Easter Eggs
The Nearness/ The Veil
On the back cover of Church Music, the titles of The Nearness and The Veil are in a different font than the other song titles, clearly indicating a correlation. Speak-And-Spell
In the background of the song Church Music - Dance (!), there is a speak-and-spell robot voice saying various sounds and letters. An interpretation of these sounds was attempted in a thread on Bwack's Forum, and this is what they came up with: s-h-o-u-t shout it from your l-u-n-g-s oh we s-i-n-g-i-t-l-o-u-d and DO you hear me? do you know we're dancing to the (beat) oh we m-o-v-e-o-u-r feet to the (danceee) |
Chronology of Church Music
Each track in the album includes some sort of reference to the history of music in the church, going in chronological order. Here are some known examples (additional input would be appreciated): Phos Hilaron......the oldest hymn still in use Alleluia, Sing....... THE NEARNESS...... Shadows...... Eastern Hymn......the chorus predominantly features the tri-tone, which was banned by the pope in the middle ages SMS [Shine]...... THE VEIL...... We Are Loved...... All Around Me...... How He Loves...... Can I Lie Here...... Birmingham (We Are Safe)......Intentional ironic reference to Civil rights movements in Birmingham, Alabama in the 1960's Church Music - Dance (!)...... What A Miracle...... Oh, Happiness...... God Almighty, None Compares...... In The End (O Resplendent Light)...... There is likely a reference somewhere to the Hypodorian mode. |
