Luyện nghe bài hát I Am No Good

This song offended some. Not the music, of course, but the title and lyrics. The notion of "I Am No Good" is not particularly popular in a society where we are constantly told to "believe in ourselves" and to "stick up for your rights". Even among believers there can be a difficult quandry with this. The truth is, any good that is in any of us comes Jesus Christ. Any worth that we have in this life is from Him and Him alone. That said, I personally like this song very much. It's different, that's for sure. It has light jazz overtones. The arrangement is slightly odd, but it all works. Heck, this song was even fun in concert!

We've already touched on the lyrical content, I suppose. The concept in this song, as the title might suggest, is that "I Am No Good". There is a progression in the song of self-reliance, the first few verses, to the final line, "now I fall indeed". That's the progression that we all need. Amen.

so it me
so it me
grabs me

will it bleed
does it you?
got to us ever low

take, us, us ever low
no, other, no other i know

am i
am i
in me today

so scheming
still you're
all you have and plan you

all, you, all you you fail
i, put, i put my life up for

i am no good
(i am no good)
i am no one
(i am no one)
no, i am no

leave it all
i all now
of earth, i agree

does it
a headache?
got you on hands and knees

on, your, on your and knees
now, i, now i fall in

i am no good
(i am no good)
i am no one
(i am no one)
no, i am no
(i am no good)
i am no good
(i am no good)
i am no one
(i am no one)
no, i am no

now, i, now i indeed
