“Anakin” by The Dell Griffiths
Woohoo!! Another post!
Well, thanks to Vance, I finally have a digital version of a video I edited back in 1999 just before The Phantom Menace came out. So, I uploaded it to YouTube and made it public to the world!!
What I love about this song is that it captures the theology of the story of Anakin Skywalker, and I’ve tried to bring it out even more in this video.
The story of Anakin is essentially the story of humanity according to the Bible. Anakin begins in innocence, experiences a fall into sin (the “dark side”), becomes a slave to that sin (especially the Emperor), but ultimately experiences redemption following a sacrifice. The difference between Anakin’s story and our story is that Anakin paid his own sacrifice, while for humanity Jesus paid the sacrifice.
Anyway, here it is. The lyrics are below.
“Annakin” by The Dell Griffiths (I think they misspelled it on purpose to avoid any legal issues)
All of you
Part of me
Hidden from view
Another world
Kept from me
Kept from you
But something’s different
Since you’ve found your heart again
So this is heaven, Anakin
Treacherous
Evil hands
You had on us
Breathing deep
Through steel
And misplaced trust
But something’s different
Now you’ve found your heart again
So this is heaven, Anakin
Anakin
Oh, this is heaven, Anakin
Anakin
Oh, this is heaven, Anakin
Anakin
Anakin
This is heaven
Anakin
How you feelin’?
Are you feelin’ ok, Anakin?
How you feelin’
Now that you’re in heaven, Anakin?
How you feelin’?
Are you feelin’ ok, Anakin?
How you feelin’
Now that you’re in heaven, Anakin?
