Talk:One of Us (Joan Osborne song)

message: After doing some extensive research, i've found no reputable site listing a cover of this song by Alanis Morissette. Examples of places i searched include Amazon.com track listings for Alanis' CDs. I further checked out several songs off of Limewire, both claiming to be Alanis Morissette and Joan Osborne. There was absolutely no difference between the two songs. Although there are two seperate versions of the song, one with the "heavenly airplane" intro and one without, the song itself is exactly the same. I'd guess that one was a single version, wheras the other was the album version. I've concluded that Alanis has been misatributed as having done a cover of this song (and occasionally as the original author). Probably this is due to the huge success of Jagged Little Pill, and the fact that One of Us came out the same year, not to mention the fact that the song sounds like one that Alanis might have sung. I've changed the article to reflect this. Of course, if someone does have conclusive proof that Alanis has covered this song, change it back. Ignus 00:59, 22 May 2006 (UTC)

thread_title:  Parodies 

message: I think that theologically, this song is related to the story of Enoch and Elijah. Religion teaches that Enoch and Elijah never died, and are among us today, perhaps not very far. The closest possible comparison to this is the story of Count Saint Germain, who was said to be a re-incarnation of Enoch. Now, Enoch is supposed to be the super-Archangel Metatron, who some in apocrypha have tied to the divine hypostasis of the Holy Spirit. ADM (talk) 18:43, 16 March 2009 (UTC)
