Sometimes the way of love seems to be a foolish path--or a foolish person--but just as in Shakespeare's plays, clowns and fools are sometimes the wisest of all.
Wow. The lyrics were powerful when I read them, but I'm so glad I listened to and watched the video. Obviously Noel's voice is magical, but the images and quotations were also just beautiful. It was reading Elie Wiesel's words - that Jesus would have been sent to Auschwitz - when I could no longer hold back tears.
May we all have such love at our center that they would come for us. And may that same love help us resist those who are coming now, and may it transform all hearts for the sake of the world.
This song means so much to me -- it speaks of the true power of LOVE...
Interesting premise - Jesus as the "fool". I know - its mankind that was/is the "fool".
Loved the quotes in the video.
Thanks as always, Paul.
Your spirit and music have meant so very much to my life!
Could never thank you enough.
Blessings to you and yours...... love and peace!

Thank you for sharing.
Good stuff -- and one of my favorite songs by you.

bring out the prisoner,
the sad would be king.
set him before them,
a miserable thing
with his robe bloodied scarlet,
his hands bruised and bound,
a reed for a scepter
and nettles his crown.
ecce homo.
The Most Exquisite Fool of LOVE!
