The Call

This week Jessica rented The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian. Yes, I'd already seen the movie and loved it, just like I had the first film. What caught my attention the second time around was the closing sequence with the song The Call by Regina Spektor. After listening to the song again, then buying it on iTunes and studying the lyrics, I believe Disney has crafted a masterpiece with this one. Seriously, The Call fits perfectly with the movie (which by the way is parable of our Christian walk). Listen to the song here, and think for a moment about the words not as a love song, but as a story of old. Think about the Gospel story of a God who spoke mankind into existance. A God who was living word, that became flesh, lived, died, and resurrected for us. A God who sparked a movement that history could not stop and evil could not penetrate. That's what this song is about. Now, while I doubt Disney intended that point, I am sure C.S. Lewis did with his story! Disney wrote a song to go with the movie, which did such a good job that it is inspirational to Christians who try to understand C.S. Lewis' original intent. Anyway, here's the song.... enjoy!
