Help me put together the definitive agnostic mix. I can only come up with three, so the field is wide open.
It Ain’t Necessarily So, Ella Fitzgerald version
Probably Not, Susan Werner
Let the Mystery Be, Iris DeMent
Yours?
Dear God , XTC
Image–John Lennon
Bedshaped - Keane
“You’ll knock on my door, and up we’ll go, in white light – I don’t think so.
But what do I know?”
Of course I meant Imagine :smack:
Not really agnostic so much as atheistic. The singer explicitly states he doesn’t believe in God, as opposed to just saying he’s uncertain.
Yeah, but he’s, you know, singing to God. That “If there’s one thing I don’t believe in/It’s you” line kinda muddies the waters.
I was gonna suggest “O My God” by the Police, but it’s kinda the same situation.
OTOH, the song is addressed to god, and sung from a young point of view. So it’s a bit ambivalent.
I kind of take the speaker in “Dear God” to be speaking to “God” as an apostrophe for dramatic effect, rather than because he believes there’s a possibility that there’s a divine being that’s actually listening. He seems rather adamant and certain that there isn’t.
Crosby, Stills and Nash “The Cathedral” I think it is one of my very favorite songs.
Well, she refers to the entire album as “Probably the first agnostic gospel album” so maybe you’ve been beaten to the punch 
'swhat gave me the idea. 
‘Vein of Stars’ by The Flaming Lips
There’s “God” by John Lennon but that leans heavily toward the atheistic.
You could interpet Bob Dylan’s “The Mighty Quinn” as skeptical, if not agnostic, about God and religion. Especially for the line:
Everybody’s out the trees, feeding pigeons all under the limb
But when Quinn the Eskimo gets here the pigeons gonna run to him
Operation Spirit (The Tyranny of Tradition) - Live
Heard a lot of talk about this Jesus
A man of love, and a man of strength
But what a man was two
thousand years ago
means nothing at all to me today
Oh, and a very subtle one (with nice dual meaning):
Across the Borderline - Ry Cooder/John Hiatt
On the surface, it’s about Mexican immigrants making their way across the border to the US. But scratch that surface and the singer is expressing doubts about life after death. It’s been performed by many artists: Willie Nelson, Bruce Springsteen, Bob Dylan, Freddy Fender.
My favorite version is by John Hiatt and Flaco Jimenez on the partners CD.
My girlfriend was singing this song right as I was reading this. Weird.
Anyway, I’m pretty sure that that song is about this movie where Anthony Quinn plays a character named Inuk.
Man on the Moon - R.E.M.
Here’s a little legend for the never-believer
Here’s a little ghost for the offering
Here’s a truck stop instead of St. Peter’s
Mr. Andy Kaufman’s gone wrestling…
Maybe “All This Time” by Sting? It’s not explicitly agnostic, but it does cast doubt on all religions.
A Change Is Gonna Come - Sam Cooke
It’s been too hard livin’
but I’m afraid to die
'cause I don’t know what’s up there
beyond the sky
The Anthony Quinn movie was certainly the starting part but I interpret the song as a lampoon of those who unthinkingly believe and wait for a messiah of some sort to arrive and set everything right. The apparent incongruity of an Eskimo named Quinn is used to demonstrate the folly of blind faith.
(I haven’t written a passage like that since the last time I took an English literature course in college.)
