Poor Old Lu

Poor Old Lu was a pioneering alternative Christian band based in the American Northwest. The band experimented with a variety of sounds and genres, particularly grunge, funk and psychedelic rock. The band consisted of Scott Hunter with the vocals, Jesse Sprinkle as the drummer for the band, Aaron Sprinkle as guitarist, and Nick Barber on bass. Scott was the lyricist who wrote on philosophical, metaphorical, and spiritually-oriented topics. Common themes in the lyrics include introspective struggles with identity and spirituality, struggles with a superficial, secular, and modern society, and hope for life abundant. The Encyclopedia of Contemporary Christian Music calls the band "One of the most accomplished and creative Christian bands of the '90s". more »

 Struggling with Slipknot? Become a better singer in 30 days with these videos!

Of all the Poor Old Lu songs to show up on Napster
in great number, this one did.
I always found that strange until I heard that there
was also a band called Slipknot.
I can only imagine all those people who downloaded
this song thinking it was the other band! Very amusing.

As the brief text in the album cover eludes,
this song is directed primarily towards the topic of
'indifference'. Our indifference,
of course, keeps us from many great things in the Lord.
Reaching out to others, more effective ministries,
better friendships, better marriages,
and so on. We must take our attitudes of indifference
before the Lord so that He may change our hearts. He is willing and able. 

and fear
how it often seems to be all you hear
like a siren that just fills up your ears
will you let it show you what you hold
oh, so close

and confused
i think i keep the devil amused
when i believe that his lies are true
but beyond the haze i know
which glory remains

my need i seek
in this hope i own
Majesty, i see
indifference is cold

and hate
it seems to run this world just great
will they turn on time or roll in too late?
there's no turning round
on our knowledge now

and pain
does it fall upon your life like rain?
it will not kill or make you insane
just don't bow your neck
to the cutter's blade

my need i seek
in this hope i hold
Majesty, i see
indifference is cold

and fear
is it ever, ever all you can hear?
like a siren that just fills up your ears
would you let it go 
and throw your arms to Christ, so close

my need i seek
in this hope i own
Majesty, i see
indifference is cold
