Jesus Wept

About Jesus Wept

“Jesus wept” is a track off Sia's deluxe edition of ''This is Acting'" released in November 2016. As Liz Wann writes on "Think Christian", the song's theme and where Sia points to is the spiritual death of addiction. The orchestral opening of the song cuts out to short harp strums and cello as Sia’s slow, plodding vocals begin the opening verse. Resembling the mournful sounds of a funeral dirge, the verses speak of the emptiness of “God-shaped holes” and how she tries to fill them with “bottled friends who won’t bring relief .
