Joan Osbourne - One of Us



Uploaded by: divdby0
Video Description:
"One of Us" is a song written by Eric Bazilian (of The Hooters) and originally released by Joan Osborne.
The song deals with various aspects of belief in God by asking questions inviting the listener to consider how they might relate to God, such as "Would you call [God's name] to his face?" or "Would you want to see [God's face] if seeing meant that you would have to believe?" The name of the song comes from the question contained in the refrain, "What if God was one of us?"
Released in March 1995 on the album Relish (produced by Rick Chertoff), it hit the top 40 in November of the same year. With this song, Osborne received one of many Grammy nominations in 1995, including Best Female Pop Vocal Performance, but failed to win. One year later Prince covered the song for his 'Emancipation' LP.
Around January 1996, "One of Us" hit the top 10. Finally in March of 1996 "One of Us" climbed to #1 on Rock On The Net's ARC Weekly Top 40 and stayed there for 2 weeks. Its peak chart position on the Billboard Hot 100 was #4.

Mr. Ilangol, God wouldn't be worth respecting if he changed the world all the time. We have to learn how to do things on our own.
Do you want to spend eternity eating Frito-Lays off your chest as you play Halo 2 in God's basement, or do you want to actually be somebody worth respecting?
Anybody with God's powers could use them to change the world utterly, but only a few would have the discipline and wisdom to help us only a little bit, and let US solve our problems.
Always,
Robert Mason

you know that some people do believe, and i don't go on being funny about that you don't believe. It says so much about you, that i feel sorry for you. God is the good in everyone and everything, if you don't believe then fine, it's up to you to see the good in yourself. But come on, everybody has to believe in something, if we didn't we wouldn't survive.
