This song is lighthearted and humorous, but does have a message.

One of those unusual moments today, I was stuck in traffic, which I dislike, and the radio started playing "SPirits in the Material World" by the Police.
As I am listening, I have one of those moments as I am sitting at a light, thinking of how deep and true this song is, and how it could be one of those songs that leads to hours of deeper mediation and ponderance, although it is often passed over as not even one of the bands greatest hits.
Where does the answer lie?
Living from day to day
If it's something we can't buy
There must be another way

We are spirits in the material world
(Are spirits in the material world)

Ties into some of what I recently spoke about regarding the material vs the Spiritual, how we can have anything and everything materially, but unless we achieve spiritual enlightenment, we really are not complete. Which is why Jesus told a rich man to sell all of his possessions, give the money to the poor, and come, travel with Him, living the true spiritual life unencumbered by material limits. Jesus Knew this, but the rich man did not. Jesus being The Light, endeavored to show someone by example, by taking him into His realm, how truly satisfying life can be, when we place our Christ centered life in and above all.

Funnily enough; we had a thread the other day about this song on the physical & life sciences forum:

Once in Royal David's City stood a lonely cattle shed,
where a mother held her baby.
You'd do well to remember the things He later said.
When you're stuffing yourselves at the Christmas parties,
you'll just laugh when I tell you to take a running jump.
You're missing the point I'm sure does not need making
that Christmas spirit is not what you drink.

So how can you laugh when your own mother's hungry,
and how can you smile when the reasons for smiling are wrong?
And if I just messed up your thoughtless pleasures,
remember, if you wish, this is just a Christmas song.

Classic tune with a Christmas twist!

Nice thread that has a song for everyone where they are at in a given moment. As one needs not tell anyone here it is the approach to any given song in any given genera when one seeks the Spiritual out of a song. With that said one would post this song not to listen in girl guy relationship but self & Jesus relationship .

Over this wire , you the saints are loved from afar .

Christmas Day is here and so are we
Time for children and presents
And Christmas tree happiness

Christmas Day is all that it should be
Lights and carols and holly
And all kinds of loveliness

Christmas bells ringing out
Goodwill to men and peace on earth
Everything they taught you when you were a child
The things a child once taught the world

If Christmas day is really in your heart
You don't have to save up all your love to give once a year
Learn to give, try to live each day like Christmas Day

Christmas bells ringing out
Goodwill to men and peace on earth
Everything they taught you when you were a child
The things a child once taught the world


If Christmas day is really in your heart
You don't have to save up all your love to give once a year
Learn to give, try to live each day like Christmas Day

========================================

Christmas does bring out the kindest in many people. Perhaps the lyrics are right on....we should, perhaps, allow the love and joy to carry over every day not just Christmas Day

Jesus would be pleased

This one is dedicated to the ones saved from the darkness and experience the new world of life... A remembrance of our baptism.

This song makes a great all-around prayer, especially as we head into a new year.
