“Spiritual Crisis” is an article was written by Robert Marrone for the Macmillian Encyclopedia of Death and Dying. This encyclopedia entry describes different spiritual crisis occurring and the adjustments people make to reconcile events being out of their control. In order to face death, individuals reform traditional meaning in order to cope with the world around them, changing their religious views to fit their current situation. He uses multiple anecdotes to refer back to different ways people deal with their spiritual crisis. This source speaks to how the individual uses the songs to cope with being unsatisfied in life. In each song, we have a speaker talking to death, or the lord. Either way, they all talk out loud to something. Each song represents an intimate, private moment, which brings in the idea of embracing a loss/death.
