About This Song
About "Gethsemane (I Only Wanted To Say) (From "Jesus Christ Superstar" Soundtrack)" by Ted Neeley
Gethsemane is the album's emotional summit, Neeley's voice rising from a whisper to a wail. The song's slow, agonizing build is a garden of doubt and surrender, the calm of prayer shredded by a raw, human terror of what must come next.
