Yeah, this song is all about the duality of things in so many ways... putting the blame of the cult not only on the possibly corrupt leader, but also upon you for giving them that power. I love how this manifests in two closely related lyrics. In the first verse you hear “Only you can set me free”... as in a cultish leader can only be unleashed because of the masses behind them propping them up. In the second verse, though, it’s “only you can set you free”... as in you’re the one who needs to learn how to break free from “the matrix” of sorts. Simple but very potent lyrics...

I have loved Living Colour from the first time I heard this song. Lyrically AND musically-unbelievably talented. I LOVE the slight alteration to the lyric near the beginning, "Only you can set ME free", so that later on, it's "Only you can set YOU free". We accept the cult status, and it's only us that can reject the cult status. So powerful. Still one of my favorite hard rock bands, album, and song of all time. Please check out Desperate People by them next.

Man, this song takes me back...it's amazing to me how certain songs written 30-40 years ago can be even more relevant today. I think these bands were definitely ahead of their time.

This song came out in 1988. I remember when the video premiered on MTV & everyone was blown away by it. Vernon Reid is such an underrated master shredder on the guitar. Lead singer, Corey Glover (no relation to actor Danny Glover) was a young actor as well. He appeared in the Oliver Stone directed Vietnam war movie, Platoon (1986) with Charlie Sheen, Johnny Depp, Willem Dafoe, & Tom Berenger. This song still holds true 32 years later; with our current society's state of celebrity-worship, being even worse today than it was back then...

About. Damn. Time! Great sound and incredible message that is just as relevant today as 30+ years ago when it was written. I get goosebumps every time I hear this

I heard this at a North Carolina highway rest area during over the weekend and it blew me away. This song is pure masterpiece. Everyone in the band put their heart and soul into it!!

This is a good era to be an aging metalhead. Back in 1988, we got to experience this band for the first time, and now we get to experience them again for the "first time" (vicariously) through other people. All of us white metal dudes back in the day loved bands like this (& Fishbone and 24/7 Spyz and other funkified rock bands, or King's X) because they went so hard, just like metal bands. We considered this "metal," whether or not anyone else did. And anything that broadened our favorite genre of music, we liked. We felt like we wanted to tell people, "see? this is how metal can be; it's not limited to what you think it is." So anyway, yeah, it's fun, seeing so many people appreciating something from a genre that was sometimes regarded as the bottom of the musical bin, back in the day.

How have you not reacted to this?!?! The next Living Colour song you need to react to is I Want To Know.

I did a analysis speech on this song back in high school and it definitely gave me more appreciation for this song

I was taking guitar lessons when this came out. I went to a music store to look at the tablature for that solo, and I immediately realized I would never be a professional guitar player 😂

That's one is great, but you know, Praise and Black are heavier and FOR ME better.

Thank you for doing CM Punk's WWE theme, it's an awesome song ❤❤❤❤❤❤😍😍😍😍😍

I love your thorough in depth analysis of the video, I concur with your prognosis.

I've watched SO many reaction videos to this song/video and I like yours the best. Hahaaha. It's funny and you respect the song and it's music so much. Like with so many of us, this song speaks to you and vibes well with you in multiple ways. It's STILL a banger today and more relevant today than back then. What a great song!!

Yea this is cm punks theme song for wwe

Cinderella Any song off their "Long Cold Winter" album You wont be disappointed

some things you missed in the analysis: Cult of personality - Persona is the word for mask in Latin, possible reference to the film Eyes Wide Shut When a leader speaks, that leader dies - Kennedy (and many others for that matter) warned about a great conspiracy and got assassinated, MLK spoke out against war and got assassinated You gave me fortune, you gave me fame, you gave me power in your god's name - A reference to Mammon/Lucifer/Moloch/Satan whatever you wanna call it

Vernon Reid is my favorite guitarist of all time. His work on “Time’s Up” is absolutely amazing.

This song is not only infinitely relevant but it was also CM Punks intro!

They came personally and played it for him at WrestleMania if I remember correctly

ITS CLOBBERING TIME!!

This band is the ENTIRE reason I busted ass to get tix to the very first Lalapalooza tour. I was DYING to see them live. They were amazing. The whole concert was amazing - but this was fire. Putting on my political science professor hat: The idea of cult of personality is essentially the idea that a leader has developed a following that is so bought in to the image/icon of that leader that the actual actions and policies of that leader are irrelevant - the followers will continue to follow regardless of what that leader does. The point of the song is that the only protection against or escape from cults of personality is your own critical thinking. I use this song in my classes all the time.

Always good to have a beer and watch an alex video, thanks for positive vibes bro
