Listen to “Paradise Lost, a poem by John Milton“ at From the new album ‘Heartwork’ out now! Get exclusive merch bundles at I’ve always been a bit obsessed with Paradise Lost. I really dug deep into the poem and its author, John Milton. As I was reading a lot of his political essays I realized that a lot of what ’Satan’ says in Paradise Lost are quotes directly from John Milton’s own mouth. A lot of people thought he was the devil back then. He had a huge problem with the show of opulence from the Church. He thought it was disgusting. His poem is about the failed revolution against the Church of England, which is Satan’s failed revolution on earth. And what’s more incredible or exciting than a failed revolution? - Bert TOUR: Follow The Used ► Twitter ► Facebook ► Instagram ► Spotify ► Apple Music Music Video Produced and Directed by Brian Cox Starring Katherine Murphy, Rhoda Pell & Kyle Pacek Co-Producer: Kevin Garcia Director of Photography: Kevin Garcia 1st A.C.: Christian Chavez Key Grip: Rory O’Connell Assistant Grip: Jeff Anderson Gaffer: Kealan O’Connell Production Design: Nathaly Lopez Set Builder: Austin Brucks Set Dresser: Angelique Rousset-johnson Art Dept: Jade James Art Dept: Rob Marquez Hair & Makeup: Sarah Navarrette Asst.

It’s so hard to tell #ParadiseLost #Heartwork #TheUsed
