Question concerning Jefferson Starship song "Miracles"

[Maxirad]

How compatible are the song’s central themes with Catholicism?

By the way, Marty Balin, who sings lead on “Miracles,” passed away recently. May he rest in peace.

What do you think are the songs central themes?

The lyrics are far to graphic/adult rated to post here. It is a song where a man is begging a woman to have sex with him. Failing to see the central themes of any faith in them.

Well, the version of “Miracles” released as a single in 1975 isn’t so sexual in nature.

Actually, it was. My guess is that the lyrics were difficult to understand and that is how it got past the censors to get air play!

named it the “Most Off-Color Line in the LP Version of a Number One Hit”

it is absolutely sexual. Did you think it was just about God answering a prayer?

I probably should have said the following:

“Well the version of “Miracles” released as a single in 1975 isn’t so explicitly sexual in nature.”

I should have said “sang” instead of “sings.”

That Airplane should have never become a Starship. They peaked in '67.
