1.   Does the music work for you? Why/ Why not?

This song brings back great memories from my childhood.  I can remember clearly, my parents playing this song many times throughout the years, always encouraging the family to sing, dance, and clap along.  Spirit In The Sky gave us all a reason to come together and spend valuable family time together.  My father, particularly, has always loved this song as it reminds him of his childhood and his father playing it when he was growing up.  A wonderful memory for all of us.

2.   Is the message clear? What is it?

Spirit In The Sky has a clearly identifiable message.  The lyrics are simple, yet profound.  If you want to make it to heaven when you die, you must befriend Jesus first, as he will provide a good reference for you to get in (‘Prepare yourself you know it’s a must; Gotta have a friend in Jesus; So you know that when you die; He’s gonna recommend you; To the Spirit in the sky”).

3.   How does the video clip work with the song?

The video clip “Mix – Norman Greenbaum – Spirit In The Sky (PSK Remastered) is true to the lyrics of the song.  This video presents Greenbaum and the back-up singers/dancers/clappers in black and white, which alludes to the depiction of ‘spirits’ throughout the clip.  Greenbaum is, in one part, in the centre of the clip, with ‘clappers’ closer to the camera – this presents as his ‘word’ being the ‘one’ people should listen to, just as Jesus’ word is the ‘one’ people should listen to also.  Keeping the colours in monochrome is outstanding as Greenbaum is presenting a simple message in a simple context.

4.   Would the song work just as well without the clip? (if there is a film clip)

This song has worked brilliantly throughout the years without this filmclip. There have been a plethora of covers since its initial release in 1969.  It has been presented, with alternate filmclips, by a range of artists, all with their own visual interpretations of the lyrics.  There have also been over 30 TV show and films whereby this song has been played without this clip.

5.   Is the song able to be sung in a Church or Worship service or is just for listening?

Spirit In The Sky is a song that can be played anywhere at any time.  It lends itself beautifully to musicians who are wanting to worship through their gifts, and vocalists through theirs.  It would enthuse the congregation into rejoicing the message of the Lord.  John 14:6 Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.

6.   Does anything not work in the clip or the lyrics or the message?  No it works in perfect harmony

This image has been created to demonstrate that although we all have differences, whether they be related to religion, appearance,  or socioeconomic status, we need to caste that aside and understand that we are all here for the same reason, and to love one another as we want to be loved.  In turn, this helps us portray a Godly attitude and win the respect of others.
