I'm a not a religious person, but this song is catchy as hell! The singer is playing the hell out of that bass. 80's public television. The greatest. Lol. 😂💯
It’s funny how this song appears to be at least half tongue in cheek, yet it works as a a genuine song and it also sounds great. This just makes me unreasonably happy.
The guitarist is someone who plays in some kind of heavy metal band on the weekends. You don't have a stance and a strum style like that if Jesus is really your friend.
I've worked with Sal (lead singer and the composer of this song) for the last 13 years and I can attest that in addition to being a fine singer and virtuoso bassist, he's one of the nicest people you could ever meet.

Lyrics: Jesus is a friend of mine Jesus is my friend Jesus is a friend of mine I have a friend in Jesus Jesus is a friend of mine Jesus is my friend Jesus is a friend of mine He taught me how to live , my life as it should be He taught me how to turn my cheek when people laugh at me I've had friends before , and I can tell you that , He 's one who will never leave you flat Chorus He taught me how to pray , and how to save my soul He taught me how to praise my God and still play rock and roll The music may sound different but the message is the same It's just the instruments who praise His name Chorus with Funky guitar riff Once I tried to run , I tried to run and hide But Jesus came and found me and He touched me down inside He is like a Mountie , He always gets His man , and He'll zap you any way he can Zap Chorus He loves me when I'm right , He loves me when I'm wrong He loves me when I waste my time by writing silly songs He loves me when I'm quiet and I have nothing to say He'll love me when I'm perfect if I ever get that way Whooo ! Chorus
Richard Dawkins, Sam Harris, Christopher Hitchins and Stephen Hawking himself have no compelling arguments in the face of this song. This is absolute proof of the futility of atheism. Embrace the groove. Give in to the hook. Admit defeat, and tap your feet to the Divine Ska beat.
Honestly, this is something that I would expect someone to make a skit on like SNL or that 70’s show but ironically this seems like they genuinely want to praise the lord. Thanks for making this. And Amen :3
I love this! Everything about it: 1) Great ska song 2) Very, very cool bass line and break. 3) The woman sitting next to a grand piano, but is playing on a freaking keyboard. WTF? 4) Very cute singer. 5) Those lyrics: "Once I tried to run, I tried to run and hide. But Jesus came and found me and he touched me down inside. He is like a Mountie, he always gets his man. And he’ll zap you any way he can. ~ZAP~" That's golden! And somebody else mentioned this: Can we all please appreciate the unintentional genius of him being flat when he sings the word "flat" in the first verse?

Maybe Jesus didn't like what the comment meant. If I remember it was in some dead language that no one understood. Or it could have been some sort of comment for summoning the devil and the devil doesn't like this song.

@Martin Anne Jesus is God. He is rhe Messiah your people have waited for for millennia. The best part for you is, if a Gentile can be spliced in as the church, an Israelite can be spliced even easier and stronger and deeper. Jesus loves you _so_ much!
@@joshuakarr-BibleMan Jesus is God? Well.. If Jesus is God doesn't that mean he's jealous and vain and that he explicitly states in the bible that you're not to worship any other deity aside from him? Thought Jesus was all about positivity, acceptance, and loving thy neighbor.
Just to point out the obvious, just in the off chance that you have not heard: Jesus is Jewish. He was a good practicing Jew, regularly went to Synagogue, celebrated the feasts of God, and regularly studied the law if Moses and the prophets. Nano Chemist, Dr. James Tour does a great job of presenting his view of the historical Jesus from his Jewish upbringing and point of view.

Much like the subject of their song, these guys really nailed it.
People may get cross at this comment 😂
😂😂
This song is unironically lit
It’s funny how this song appears to be at least half tongue in cheek, yet it works as a a genuine song and it also sounds great. This just makes me unreasonably happy.
I had the same thought exactly haha
@Gorey0- dude's summoning Beelzebub over here LMAO

The guitarist is someone who plays in some kind of heavy metal band on the weekends. You don't have a stance and a strum style like that if Jesus is really your friend.
LOL!
More punk I think...
I heard he has a One Man Black Metal Band.
It's Kerry King's day gig
Sounds like ska, looks like ska 👌👀
This is honestly wholesome as hell and I bet these people are all really decent and nice in real life.
I've worked with Sal (lead singer and the composer of this song) for the last 13 years and I can attest that in addition to being a fine singer and virtuoso bassist, he's one of the nicest people you could ever meet.
I jam with Sal often and he is super talented as well as a hell of a good guy!!
@@kahafa7406 I'm so happy to hear that!
@@SteveErickson-e8s In which year do you reckon this might have been filmed?
@@fl570 I'm not sure. I know that Sal wrote the song around 40 years ago. I'll ask him tomorrow at rehearsal. He may remember.
I jam out to this. It's catchy as all heck. My wife can't stand when I play this. Puts a smile on her face. Everything.
The big guy looks like he's having the time of his life.
"I would really like to thank you for posting all the Sonseed stuff...as a former member, it was GREAT to walk down memory lane, and to know that people still remember that magical time...as I do.
I guess I am 'Sleepy'...LOL...I am the former Bro. John, CSC...a religious teaching brother at the time who was a member of the group and was instrumental in giving the group a rehearsal space and an auditorium for our Christian Coffeehouse, called HIS PLACE...."
-John Wieners, the "big guy", in an e-mail to the Dougsploitation blog in September 2008. Sadly, Wieners passed away three weeks after getting in touch with the blog.
Lyrics:
Jesus is a friend of mine
Jesus is my friend
Jesus is a friend of mine
I have a friend in Jesus
Jesus is a friend of mine
Jesus is my friend
Jesus is a friend of mine
He taught me how to live , my life as it should be
He taught me how to turn my cheek when people laugh at me
I've had friends before , and I can tell you that , He 's one who will never leave you flat
Chorus
He taught me how to pray , and how to save my soul
He taught me how to praise my God and still play rock and roll
The music may sound different but the message is the same
It's just the instruments who praise His name
Chorus
with Funky guitar riff
Once I tried to run , I tried to run and hide
But Jesus came and found me and He touched me down inside
He is like a Mountie , He always gets His man , and He'll zap you any way he can Zap
Chorus
He loves me when I'm right , He loves me when I'm wrong
He loves me when I waste my time by writing silly songs
He loves me when I'm quiet and I have nothing to say
He'll love me when I'm perfect if I ever get that way
Whooo !
Chorus
Omg where you get so much time
Jesus Christ
I laugh when i read he touch me down inside😱😱😱🤣🤣
Love this song. 😀

I am ZERO religious. Not even raised Christian but this tune is just too fun
Richard Dawkins, Sam Harris, Christopher Hitchins and Stephen Hawking himself have no compelling arguments in the face of this song.
This is absolute proof of the futility of atheism.
Embrace the groove.
Give in to the hook.
Admit defeat, and tap your feet to the Divine Ska beat.
I found about this song on a ska punk page. I love it already.
Bruh put it at .50 speed and it’s reggae. Just imagine the steel drums and added fills. 😂
And at normal speed it's Ska
@@twothreebravo listen in speed 2 it s hilarious to see them dance they use the speed drug loll
At x1.5 it’s polka
HOLY CRAP YOU’RE RIGHT
At 0.50 speed it's Blodie's The Tide is High
Satan: Face it, I own rock'n'roll. You'll never find a groove that overcomes my powers, bruh...
Jesus: Hold my beer.
Keyser Soze you mean hold my wine?
@@positivecritic5077 My wine that was once water.
This is the best haha
rock n roll? my sir, this is fucking ska
Satan has Rock, God has Ska.
Honestly, this is something that I would expect someone to make a skit on like SNL or that 70’s show but ironically this seems like they genuinely want to praise the lord. Thanks for making this. And Amen :3

The lead guitarist is a machine. A metronome couldn't keep better time.
It’s aaaaaall in the hips
Yes who is he? Praise Yeshua he was in this song ❤
For real. As much as Sal is killing it with the bass, the guitarist might just be the lead guitarist that every band needs.
I love this! Everything about it:
1) Great ska song
2) Very, very cool bass line and break.
3) The woman sitting next to a grand piano, but is playing on a freaking keyboard. WTF?
4) Very cute singer.
5) Those lyrics: "Once I tried to run, I tried to run and hide. But Jesus came and found me and he touched me down inside. He is like a Mountie, he always gets his man. And he’ll zap you any way he can. ~ZAP~"
That's golden!
And somebody else mentioned this: Can we all please appreciate the unintentional genius of him being flat when he sings the word "flat" in the first verse?
This song has been living in my head rent-free for many years now, and I know there's more to come
The main singer is 100% into this, so much passion and freedom
“Jesus came and found me and he touched me down inside”
*_hold up_*
I always pause at that part to :)

He really tried to run. He tried to run and hide.

An absolute banger, praise Jesus.
Everybody is asking "Where is the Cursed comment?"
But nobody asks How is the Cursed comment?
Maybe Jesus didn't like what the comment meant. If I remember it was in some dead language that no one understood. Or it could have been some sort of comment for summoning the devil and the devil doesn't like this song.
😪

The world could really use a Sonseed reunion tour right about now.
Like all true rock and rollers, half the band are now with Jesus in heaven.
Unfortunately, it could never happened. Three of the people in this video have passed away, including Patricia (the lead singers wife) who is playing the organ.
@@SteveErickson-e8s hell, get a hired gun... E, A and B chords in Ska beat aren't that hard to manage for most keys players!
@@Hairmetallurgist You left out the D and G chords but that's ok. To me a true reunion requires all the original members. As pointed out by Sir Circus Cattle and myself, that isn't possible.
If you're looking for the cursed comment, you can't. It's gone. I know it because I scrolled through the entire comment section through 19,000 comments. It's gone. Stop the hunt. It's pointless now.
But hey! At least we won't have any fans falling on us ever again! XD
Edit: It seems I have have miscommunicated here. Yes, I checked the comment section for the comment but I didn't scour through every single one of these comments for like two hours or whatever, it actually took me about thirty minutes or so to find out. I was probably exaggerating. ^^" From what I remember, the cursed comment was posted here on the year this video was posted. So I just set the comments section to newest first and scrolled all the way down the section where the comments are posted on what I believe was 2008 to save time. Where it would make sense to find the comment, you know? Did I see the comment? No, I didn't! And that's how I efficiently found out the comment's gone! :D
XD
I will go ahead and believe you my guy, I don't have it in me to look through the entire comment section

The bassist reminds me of my best friend in high school who coincidently also plays bass.
He would play Rush songs and he would have the same energy and expression when he played.
haha man those were some good times.
Funny… I went to high school with a guy like that too! Everything from playing Rush songs on bass, to that same goofy energy!
“I tried to run hide but Jesus came and found me and he touched me deep inside” with the history of the church those aren’t so wise words my friend
On the 8th day, God played this at 1.5x speed and said, "Let there be ska!"
4 the win
1.75 lol
I laughed so freaking hard at this 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Sounds pretty ska at 1x speed too ...

when you don't have a ceiling fan:
'I'm four parallel universes ahead of you'
I have a bunk bed
If you have ears to hear, hear and understand you are probably one of GODS lost sheep that needs to be found there is this hole in your heart and you tried many times and many things and many ways to fill it and still are but it’s not working and it keeps getting bigger and bigger you would be around multiple people and still feel lonely and work so hard to take those bad thoughts away etc but let me tell you JESUS is the one who can fill that whole in your heart JESUS is that missing piece you’ve been looking for, that peace that’s never ending that true love and joy and happiness it’s in JESUS not of this world but of the kingdom of heaven and if you want to accept him in your heart all you have to do is believe in the gospel A-admit that you’re a sinner and that you need forgiveness, B-Believe that JESUS CHRIST died for your sins and rose again, and C-Confess your faith in JESUS CHRIST and his lordship over your life and you will be saved and this amazing feeling is not a drug it won’t last a couple hours but forever eternally bc it is not of this world but of GOD who sits on the throne of heaven forever and ever HALLELUJAH

Jesus is God.
He is rhe Messiah your people have waited for for millennia.
The best part for you is, if a Gentile can be spliced in as the church, an Israelite can be spliced even easier and stronger and deeper.
Jesus loves you _so_ much!
@@joshuakarr-BibleMan Jesus is God? Well.. If Jesus is God doesn't that mean he's jealous and vain and that he explicitly states in the bible that you're not to worship any other deity aside from him? Thought Jesus was all about positivity, acceptance, and loving thy neighbor.
Just to point out the obvious, just in the off chance that you have not heard: Jesus is Jewish. He was a good practicing Jew, regularly went to Synagogue, celebrated the feasts of God, and regularly studied the law if Moses and the prophets.
Nano Chemist, Dr. James Tour does a great job of presenting his view of the historical Jesus from his Jewish upbringing and point of view.
