#I SCHEDULED THIS THE WRONG DAY

[theridgebeyond]

Video description and closed caption beneath the cut.

I never post these kinds of things, but it’s Holy Saturday and I’m singing the main song from Jesus Christ Superstar on my banjolele.

The musical is deeply flawed and antisemitic (I particularly hate the line about the Buddha and Prophet Muhammad, as if they were the “Jesus” of their respective religions), but this scene is everything.

It’s not just Judas surrounded by disco girls asking Jesus whether he thought about his brand. It’s Judas, risen from the dead, asking a Jesus who will never see the Resurrection (the show ends with the sealing of the tomb) what the point of it all was.

Holy Saturday is a day where we, like the disciples the first day after Jesus’s death, contemplate a world without Jesus. We meditate on a world without a Resurrection and whether our lives would be any different. We get to look at a God locked in a tomb and wonder what the point of it all was.

Video description:

Video of a young white woman playing the banjolele and singing “Superstar” from the musical Jesus Christ Superstar. She has long blonde hair, brown glasses, green earrings, and gray turtleneck, and a dark blue cardigan. At one point, she smiles at her dog off-camera, who wants to let her know that the washing machine is running and he is quite concerned about it.

*acoustic banjolele and amateur (but sincere) singing, occasional jingling and puppy shakes*

Every time I look at you I don't understand

Why you let the things you did get so out of hand.

You'd have managed better if you'd had it planned.

Why'd you choose such a backward time in such a strange land?

If you'd come today you could have reached a whole nation.

Israel in 4 BC had no mass communication.

Don't you get me wrong. Don't you get me wrong, now. (x2)

I only want to know. I only want to know now. (x2)

Jesus Christ, Jesus Christ. Who are you? What have you sacrificed? (x2)

Jesus Christ Superstar. Do you think you're what they say you are? (x2)

Tell me what you think about your friends at the top.

Who'd you think besides yourself's the pick of the crop?

Buddha, was he where it's at? Is he where you are?

Could Mohammed move a mountain, or was that just PR?

Did you mean to die like that? Was that a mistake, or

Did you know your messy death would be a record breaker?

Don't you get me wrong. Don't you get me wrong, now. (x2)

I only want to know. I only want to know now. (x2)

Jesus Christ, Jesus Christ. Who are you? What have you sacrificed? (x2)

Jesus Christ Superstar. Do you think you're what they say you are? (x2)

who prefers candles, incense, something else, or nothing?

They avoid anything that produces smoke, because it makes Meredith sneeze, and Enrais doesn't like seeing things burn.
