Bad Religion revisite son titre Faith Alone. Initialement enregistré en 1990 sur l’album Against The Grain, le légendaire groupe punk propose ici une version entièrement réarrangée, avec l’aide d’un orchestre, mettant clairement le texte et la voix en lumière. Beaucoup moins de guitare électrique mais énormément d’émotions dans cette version 2020 de leur hymne humaniste.
I have al-ways written songs on piano. Some of our earliest songs were written on my mom’s piano. I’ve been home a lot and so I started recording a bunch of our songs that way. Brett (Gurewitz) thought ‘Faith Alone’ was particularly relevant for this moment. For me, it exemplifies what’s special about the band, which is that we write songs that go to the spiritual and intellectual aspects of human existence… I think the message of ‘Faith Alone’ really resonates with everything that’s happening right now. Racial injustice, Trump, the COVID pandemic, the rejection of science, none of these things can be solved by burying our heads in the sand. We’ve always believed problems can be solved through reason and action, not faith and prayer. It’s what we’ve been writing about since the band started. » Greg Graffin.
