Spiritual Beggars are basically a reversion to true rock roots. Although this is no-way a retrogression of musical techniques. They offer intelligent and burnished pieces of euphony, that come across like a junkie of groove. In other words a musical drug, an addictive blend of severity and harmony.

Wonderful World
Spiritual Beggars Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The sun has come out for air
My dog is sitting by my side
Watching me getting high
What a wonderful world
Looking with inner eyes
What a wonderful world
Nothing ever dies
Or are you blinded by the clowns?
Shake the water and feed the sun
Oil the universal joint
The lyrics of the song "Wonderful World" by Spiritual Beggars paint a picture of a happy and peaceful moment, with a cloudless sky and the sun shining down.

Wonderful song.
@Sekiath
@silverandteal I know, I love them so much. There is absolutely nothing better in my eyes than to go to my car, hit the highways, crank up Spiritual Beggars and break out a smoke.
@stoneddemonicpirate
Mantra is def their best album imo too, followed closely with Another Way to Shine and this album. Lack of Prozac would have to probably be my all-time fav, if someone had a gun to me head and made me choose
@ArcaneSunset
@silverandteal oh yeah, I listen to Mantra III at least once a day... The whole album is just a masterpiece... best fucking intro too, hahaha!
