Question: About the song "Baptism Day", is that a true story? And if it is,
is it about your or someone in your family?

Cain Live: It is a true story. It is about me.



Baptism Day
(Jonathan Cain)

I nearly drowned when I was a kid
It was lucky a men pulled me out when he did
Well I could've died young...
Before my life had begun
Stepped in a hole I was going down fast
Had water in lungs didn't think that I could last
I still remember that day
It could've ended that way
He saw me going down from the end of the pier
And from the surface raised me from my deepest
fear.. .yeah

Saint John pulled me from the water...
Let me see the light of day
Saint John saved me from the shadow
I found my faith on Baptism Day

Lifted me up under the Arkansas sky
Breathing life in my lungs bringing tears to my eyes
From a watery grave
Another soul he amazed
Carried me back to where my day had begun
Said goodbye...said he had to run
At least a thousand lifetimes is what I saw in his eyes
I still feel the chill of the darkness near
Where all space and time seem to disappear

Saint John pulled me from the water...
Let me see the light of day
Saint John saved me from the shadow
I found my faith on Baptism Day

I go on living everyday
With a deeper sense of pride
We're all dying here anyway
Well at least I had a little mercy on my side

Saint John pulled me from the water
Let me see the light of day
Saint John saved me from the shadow
On Baptism Day, Baptism Day

I believe in the higher power
Baptism Day
I can see there's a higher power
Baptism Day
Take to the river, take me to some higher ground
Lay in me the water turn this lonely boy around

Ok, Saint John you have some explaining to do here.

Sounds more like Tito to me ...

Yeah, Saint John, what's up with this?


Cain almost burned to death too. So it looks like he's had a couple brushes with death but for some devine intent he's been spared and has been able to give us great music.

Wow, the school burning down and now we find out he almost drowned, Friga sure has been lucky.

Yes, he was Friga when all the bad shit happened to him. Prolly why he changed his name. Everyone remember that when bad shit happens, just change your name and all will be right in your world.
