You might have already heard of Cosmo Jarvis from his first single 'Gay Pirates'; a tale of the forbidden love of two men on a pirates ship. The song was in high rotation on Triple J earlier this year, and lyrically, it is a ground breaking song that is a statement to the struggles of homosexuals in society and cultural life.
In Cosmo's newest offering, 'Sure As Hell Not Jesus', he again pushes the boundaries with the lyrical meaning of the song. According to Cosmo, the song is about "sexual abuse scandals that have involved the followers and preachers of the Catholic faith and its leaders' frequent insidious dealings with them". The video pokes fun at priests who seem to get away with their misconduct, and justify their actions "through the use the faith of their victims and victims' families".
Musically, the song is again catchy with its melodies, and Cosmo's voice is a dream to listen to.
For listeners, it hits a nerve; and through humour, it effectively purveys what struggles are felt by victims and their families.
At only 21 years old, I'm excited to see what Cosmo Jarvis can come up with next.
