The Black Keys “Lonely Boy”

The new YLO87 includes a re:tuned discussion starter for the song “Lonely Boy” from The Black Keys. The song is a great way to start a discussion about how Jesus is waiting for us. re:tuned writer Benjamin Squires asks this question:

Could it be Jesus singing the blues about you? Jesus left His place in the throne room of Heaven to save us. “Well, I’m so above you/And it’s plain to see/But I came to love you anyway.”

Editor’s note: The re:tuned section in every Music Resource Book features  discussion points for some of today’s most popular mainstream songs. These brief studies are designed to give you a starting point for a “What do you think this song is about?” discussion about a song you hear hanging out with students at Starbucks. Or you might try dissecting the week’s featured “Glee” song in a small group setting. Many youth leaders tell us that the re:tuned section is one of the hidden gems of their YLO membership.
