  1. Ignorance is Bliss

    Ignorance is Bliss is an album by the punk rock group Face to Face, released in 1999. The album was a musical and lyrical departure from the pop-punk or skate-punk influenced music found on previous albums and EPs. Though an 'EconoLive 2' tour was done in promotion of the album, the band does not currently play any of the songs from the album while touring. Trever Keith flatly refused to play anything from this album on their minitour, according to an interview video on their official MySpace page. In 2012, the band had a change of heart and decided to go on tour and perform the entire album acoustically. This album's song "The Devil You Know" is featured in the Buffy the Vampire Slayer first soundtrack album. The album was reissued in 2012 on Trevor Keith's own label, Antagonist Records, with the songs from "Why Aren't You Happy? EP" as bonus tracks.

    Ignorance is Bliss, but no pain no gain. The truth hurts, but it does set you free. There is sorrow aplenty as God opens your eyes. It hurts to see what you see, evil rising up from so many quarters. I can imagine how tempting it is to avoid reality, blissfully ignorant and not wanting anyone to pull back the curtain. Too late for me, I asked to see.
    Bliss ends in sorrow, but wisdom comes to no end. Ecclesastes 1:18 expresses what ignorance avoids at the cost of wisdom, yet it is part of the deal for those who belong to Christ.
    From Young's Litteral Translation. "for, in abundance of wisdom [is] abundance of sadness, and he who addeth knowledge addeth pain."
    Me on Facebook feeling sad, but understanding why.
