		Although "Rapture" wasn't the first successful hip-hop/rap song (the Sugarhill Gang's 1979 hit "Rapper's Delight" reached the top 40 on the US Hot 100 chart), it was the biggest rap hit for a number of years.
		For a large segment of the population, it served as an introduction to the burgeoning hip-hop genre.

	Who Does That Song - Question of the Week
		The song was first taken to the top 10 in Canada and the USA by J Frank Wilson and The Cavaliers in 1964.
		The song was a minor hit in 1983, but after a Las Vegas radio station added it to their playlist in 1988, the song was re-released and went all the way to the number one spot in early 1989, long after the group had disbanded.
		The song was inspired by the 1959 film “On The Beach”; a movie set in the future when virtually all life on earth has been exterminated by the after effects of a nuclear holocaust.

	Rapture in Song of Solomon
		It paints a beautiful picture of the Rapture of the Church when flowers are unfurling their blooms like tiny upside-down umbrellas and birds are singing for the sheer joy of being alive in the spring.
		In the Song of Solomon, if you have an ear to hear, you will be able to hear the overtones if you listen carefully.
		The green figs enable us to place the Rapture between the end of the latter rain (April 26) and when the early figs ripen, in some years the end of May, in others early June.

		Gilbert and Sullivan scholars have long known about the song because its words are included in a licensing copy of the operetta submitted to the English government for approval.
		In the song, Corcoran tells Josephine that the sailor is beneath her.
		Among the theories: The singer playing Capt. Corcoran couldn't handle it; the song was the second of two slow numbers and was thought to be a bit of a drag.

	Halfbakery: Rapture Insurance
		I've heard it said that the correct interpretation of "The Rapture" from Revelation is that the non-believers will be the ones raptured, leaving the truly faithful to soldier on against the Kingdom of Evil.
		Even though, as people have noted, that nature of the Christian rapture is a contentious theological issue there appears to be enough common ground to allow insurance to be sold to quite a wide range of people.
		The rapture is a selective experience, for which the rules for not being involved is quite clear even taking into account ecumenical differences.

		I don't agree that inserting the song could be achieved without the probability of substantial disruption to the piece as it now stands, but without an actual suggested rewrite to examine, the whole discussion is for now theoretical.
		The song can establish him as a real force to be reckoned with-it is not a matter of extra information but of greater emphasis.
		I think the song should provoke some laughter and smiles from the audience-he is not a tragic character.

	Splendid E-zine reviews: The Rapture
		The musical stream of consciousness that is The Rapture seems to flow from the wellspring of acts like PIL and Television -- bands that saw the burned out cavity left by first-wave punk bands and filled it with something pop-like.
		Truth-in-advertising enthusiasts will be pleased to learn that "The Pop Song" is, in fact, the poppiest (as in catchiest) song on the album.
		Although the vocals sound like a cat with its tail in a blender, "The Pop Song" really is, at its core, shiny, happy pop, suitable for filling the smoking craters left by the current wave of burnt-out punk bands.

	Deep Purple - Rapture of the Deep
		The first song on the album starts out with a weird noise that I would guess is a heavily processed Hammond in the same vein as the 70's intros to Lazy.
		The song itself is a heavy, dark song with a slight oriental, Perfect Strangers-type feel to some of the riffs.
		As a song, this is a fairly uninteresting song that feels like one of those songs you often find in the middle of an album.

	Flash GOrDon, God Rock, and the Rapture
		The rapture spoken about by Evangelical Christians in which the Lord is supposed to lift 144,000 of his first chosen faithful into the clouds with him upon his arrival has taken place.
		Someone who believes that songs are being sung about him, or that the television is talking to him is said by psychiatrists to suffer from paranoid delusions.
		The basic strength of the song lies in Debra Harry's siren's voice in the beginning of the song and in her rap towards the end of the song.

		‘Rapture’ opens with ‘Sweet Love’, a signature song of hers, and Anita shows the versatility of her voice, from the low whispery notes (a lead Toni Braxton later followed) before taking the listener to a vocal climax by using her higher register which posses both power and beauty.
		When one gets weary of listening to run of the mill pop/randb songs sung by indifferent singers or those only capable of vocal histrionics, it is all too easy to forget what a great singer can do with a very ordinary song.
		Rapture is an extraordinary album not because of the compositions, but because of the smoky, flexible and expressive voice of Anita Baker.

	The Rapture: Echoes - Playing God - Stylus Magazine
		As part of the burgeoning dance-punk scene, with ties to hip priests of the genre The DFA, all eyes were on The Rapture to deliver the genre’s equivalent to Nevermind the Bollocks, Here’s the Sex Pistols, or at least a solid LP to announce that discopunk had arrived.
		The song that first put The Rapture onto the map, the precursor to “House of Jealous Lovers,” and still one of their finest moments.
		But it’s such a good song that even the people that tend to complain about the album’s inconsistencies and flaws tend to leave “Infatuation” out of the discussion, leading me to believe that it’s OK to still be putting that song on the mix.

		Their sound changes from song to song which makes their releases very eclectic, which is good for those who crave variety.
		As the song progressed, more instruments were added: bass drum, the cowbell gave way to electric guitar bursts, and keyboards.
		The audience was definitely into the song, singing the echoing part of the chorus loudly and applauding wildly at the end.

		Music dominates as he and his band barrel through 15 songs in 100 minutes, yet John nearly vanishes in the foreground while a visual smorgasbord unfolds on a monster LED screen.
		I Want Love and Your Song also imbue poignancy, as does Candle in the Wind, restored as a love letter to Marilyn Monroe, who is portrayed by a dead ringer as playful, vulnerable and tragic.
		Not every video matches the songs as perfectly as these, but en masse the footage, whether employing psychedelic images or a modern dance motif, underscores the theme of the search for love in its broadest sense, from personal relationships to social compassion.

	DVD Talk Forum - Best Singles of 2002?
		That the song is only available as a 12" would seem to doom its popularity, but the catchy melody has conquered the format constraint (finally, a use for that old turntable!) in grand form.
		The song of the year for a million different reasons, it certainly isn't a new sound, but it's rare to see nostalgic and contemporary tastes intersect so opportunely.
		My favorite parts of the song are those falsetto phrasings in the pre-chorus, but beyond that, Timberlake's vocal phrasing is phenomenal throughout.

	CD Baby: GINA FRENCH: Of Rapture - from collectedsounds
		As the rest of the songs for the album started to unfold, I discovered that most of them contained a similar theme of passion or were about what drives one's soul.
		The song bristles with intensity and primeval imagery.
		The song sounds nothing like the other songs on the album—and why would it, having been recorded by an altogether different group of musicians.

	Echoes by Rapture CD
		The Rapture: Luke Jenner (vocals, guitar, keyboards, percussion); Mattie Safer (vocals, keyboards, bass, percussion); Gabriel Andruzzi (saxophone, percussion); Vito Roccoforte (drums, percussion).
		Like millions of bands before them, the Rapture leaves a trail of its musical inspirations, but this isn't 1981, and ECHOES is very much of its own time.
		Accordingly, ECHOES is a smorgasbord of funky, elastic basslines, percolating synthesizers, and angular guitar riffs, all artfully arranged for maximum bite.

	Rapture by Blondie Songfacts
		This was the first #1 hit song with a rap.
		Until this came out, rappers always used existing songs as the basis for the music they would rap over.
		I think it could be argued that, not only was this the first rap in a song that had its own original music, it was also the last rap in a song that had its own original music.

	The Rapture: House of Jealous Lovers - Seconds - Stylus Magazine
		The Rapture’s Echoes might’ve disappointed a lot of people, but listening to “House of Jealous Lovers,” it occurs to me that no one could’ve had their expectations totally met with this song as the lead single.
		The Rapture are the only one who split exactly down the middle, especially on this song—the exact perfect balance between punk and disco, a glorious middle ground.
		Being at a Rapture concert wasn’t as much of a hipster dancing bonding point as I expected—only a handful of people were really getting into it.

		You have to respect Siouxsie Sioux's role as an influence-without her, there wouldn't be nearly as much fl nail polish at Lollapalooza-but artistically, she's been treading water since the mid '80s.
		There are also the brooding slow songs that impress, like Forever and Sick Child, while The Lonely One is another beautiful melodic ballad with a gripping hook, rich instrumentation and spooky whispered male backing vocals.
		When I realized that the enchanting songs "Forever" and "The Rapture" were on the same Siouxsie album, I had to own it.

	Mirror by The Rapture at Audio Lunchbox
		And when The Rapture's divine House Of Jealous Lovers single benefitted from that wave (earlier this year), many began to hail this 'new' ascending star!
		The Rapture had been quietly garnering praise, from those interested enough to not just let the press tell them what to buy (yes, that means all of you whom, apparently, like The White Stripes for years!
		Mirror is a compilation of material recorded in 1998 (before last year's Out Of The Races And On To The Tracks) and more than demonstrates that The Rapture have their finger on something heavenly.

	woxy.com > Boards - Least favorite song in heavy rotation.......
		This was me and that song by "The Rapture", or was it called "Rapture"?.
		The first time I heard the one song (if that's what you want to call it) I thought it was some sort of weird annoying commercial!
		I think redmeg was probably talking about "Rapture" by Pedro the Lion, where he says, "pity that it's not my wife." There aren't enough words in "House of Jealous Lovers" to describe anything in detail!

	polloxniner: The Rapture Hangover
		Our song of choice last night was "I Need Your Love" which we, between the three of us, had at least 5 different remixes of the song.
		My favorite is still Erlend Oye's probably for two reasons: (1) Oye is incapable of doing anything wrong and (2) his version isn't so much of a remix since it pretty much keeps faithful to the original track.
		The Rapture's new album is "leaking out" and from the sound of some of the new material, it's going to be incredible.

		The Amish beard he was sporting wasn't too sexy though....this song sure is racy.
