I've heard it played like a hymn but if you pay attention to the lyrics...not so much.

There was a time when you let me know
What's really going on below
But now you never show it to me, do you?

And remember when I moved in you
The holy dove was moving too
And every breath we drew was Hallelujah.

I don’t find these problematic at all.

not problematic per say but I never knew it was sexual in nature

It is about Biblical affairs (Samson and Delilah, David and Bathsheba) and the fall out.

Affairs are sexual by definition

There are some really uptight people on this thread.

Take a Walk on the Wild Side by Lou Reed.

Yeah, the lyrics are a little problematic but it’s one of the best songs ever.

That was obvious all along.

“Love the One You’re With” is actually a justification of cheating.

Beach Boys: “God only knows what I'd be without you
If you should ever leave me
Well life would still go on believe me
The world could show nothing to me
So what good would living do me”

I had these exact same thoughts while sitting at a loved one’s death bed. These are human thoughts. Does that mean I’m going to to off myself every time I’m grieving the loss of a loved one? No. But in times of grief and sorrow, these are human thoughts. Or even times of great joy. The first time I held my babies, it’s an overwhelming love. Any parent has had the thought that if one of their children dies, they would want to die, too.

That's just people who never listened to the lyrics. The trend to treat it as a religious song seems more new (Pentatonix put it on a Christmas album which, just, what?)

That doesn't hear differently today, it was controversial even when it came out.
