The Pope Goes Prog: Listen to Pope Francis' New Rock Song Immediately
Can the Pope come to America more often? Because when he does, we get prog rock songs set to His Holiness' speeches. What a time to be alive indeed.
Rolling Stone premiered today the Pope Francis song "Wake Up! Go! Go! Forward!" (a rousing entrant into our National Punctuation Day playlist!!!) ahead of the release of an entire album of these songs.
OK, so, writing about a Pope Francis song. Let's do this. "Wake Up! Go! Go! Forward!" features the Pope's speech addressing an audience in South Korea, but not before an extended intro of wailing guitars, triumphant horns and drums.
