The Passion Of The Christ Inspires Scott Stapp And The Tea Party's Debut SingleMonday August 09, 2004 @ 04:00 PMBy: ChartAttack.com Staff
Scott Stapp

How can a movie that only featured traditional music spawn not one, but two albums of popular music? For some, at least, Jesus Christ is a pretty big source of inspiration.
When The Passion Of The Christ was released this spring, Mel Gibson sanctioned a CD called The Passion Of The Christ: Songs Inspired By, which featured previously recorded songs by people like Nick Cave, Elvis Presley and Bob Dylan. Now, to coincide with the DVD release of the epic film, Mel has lined up a second, more current disc called The Passion Of The Christ: Songs.
The first single and most newsworthy contribution to the disc will be the debut solo song from former Creed singer Scott Stapp and his hired back-up band, The Tea Party. According to MTV.com, Stapp's song "Relearn Love" wasn't actually written about Mel Gibson's movie (rather, he used it to exercise his feelings about his divorce and the break-up of Creed), but he claims that the film taught him how to love again. The song will act as the new album's first single.
The record also marks the return of Lauryn Hill, who'll contribute "The Passion," which, other than a song she posted on her website earlier this year, is the first new material from Hill since her 2002 MTV Unplugged No. 2.0 album. The album will hit stores on August 31. In the meantime, here's a full tracklisting:
· Third Day, Steven Curtis Chapman and Mercy Me "I See Love"
· Scott Stapp (featuring The Tea Party) "Relearn Love"
· P.O.D. "Truly Amazing"
· Brad Paisley and Sara Evans "New Again"
· Big Dismal "Rainy Day"
· Lauryn Hill "The Passion"
· Kirk Franklin (featuring Yolanda Adams) "How Many Lashes"
· MxPx (featuring Mark Hoppus) "The Empire"
· Charlotte Church "Finding My Own Way"
· Bebe Winans and Angie Stone "Miracle Of Love"
· Dan Lavery "To Give Love"
· Big Dismal "Reason I Live"

i have four fabourite films about jesus. my all time fave is 'jesus of montreal' which has a group of method actors taking parts in a local passion play only to find their lives are becoming allegorical. next in line would be the mel gibson passion film- nuff said about that one. third would be 'the last temptation' which is based on an amazing book by nikos kazantzakis. finally, monty python's life of brian ("blessed are the cheesemakers?") which makes the others look like epics.

music? no inspiring music in the first one. talked about the second already. the third has a soundtrack of world music by peter gabriel which is sublime- arguably his best work. the fourth has 'always look on the bright side of life'- guess i don't need to say any more!

Nikos Kazantzakis's book pissed off a lot of priests. And that was before Scorsese got into the act. Yes, a true Greek classic. But I have to say that I have never seen a good 'Jesus' actor.

You want to know why?

Of course you want to know why Marcy feels the way she does.

It's because no method actor ever accurately captured the ninja spirit of Jesus. In other words, they've all been historically inaccurate. Something like Fletcher Christian in the Mutiny on the Bounty.

This is how Jesus died: Those twenty some years before Jesus returned to the Holy Lands to throw himself on the cross for his cause, he'd been traveling in the Orient studying the ninja/samurai/yoga disciplines.

When Jesus got nailed to the cross, he didn't grimace an iota. Cause Jesus could handle pain like a true yoga.

Remember that the Romans did not break Jesus's shinbones, as was customary. Breaking a crucified victim's shinbones insured that the victim was dead before the Roman guards headed for the comfort of their abodes. With the shins broken, the body weight suffocates the lungs and heart. Death. Release.

But Jesus performed the yogic trick of stopping his heart beat and his breathing. They thought he was dead. Hence, when Jesus was 'buried' there was no big problem for the resurrection scene.

Now, when Marcythewhore sees the 'true' story of Jesus told on the silver screen, that's when Marcy gives credit to a Jesus actor......marcythewhore
