Singer/songwriter D.B. Rouse has thoughts about the current state of the world, and he was able to articulate them cleverly on new single “If Jesus Were Here.” He examines contemporary conservatism on the song, talking about the hypocrisy from the far right and people who don’t actually practice Christian values. The song plays like a Sunday school singalong at first, with just Rouse and an acoustic guitar leading the way. However, the lyrics talk about how Jesus would actually want healthcare for all, and would be accepting of people of all orientations and backgrounds. It’s a smart, cynical look at the world, and it’s effective in getting its message across. Check it out here:
