The title track.
The story
This is the loudest thing I say on the record, and the only place I say the idea outright instead of walking around it. I didn’t want to argue it. I wanted to shout it in a room full of people who already knew.
What would you put in that sentence? What’s carried you the way this has carried me?
Lyrics
(Beautiful piano intro)
….
(Music is my religion)
Too much goin' on
Tryna keep my head on straight
All these thoughts comin' out
And I can't keep 'em down
Then I hear that music
And I feel it in my chest
Everything is gettin' lighter
I can breathe again
Then I hear the bassline call me
Like it knows me by name
Suddenly the weight ain't on me
And I don't feel the same
Hands up, I can feel it now
Something lifting me now
Don't know what it is but
I don't wanna come down
Music is my religion
(yeah, yeah)
Music is my religion
Got me singin' in the mirror
Like I'm headline on a stage
Got that Lauryn in my headphones
Sam Cooke in my bones
From the old school to the new wave
Every sound got somethin' to say
Got that Sunday kind of feelin'
Even on a weekday
Music is my religion
(yeah, yeah)
Music is my religion
Music is my religion
(yeah, yeah)
Music is my religion
When I'm low, it lifts me up
When I'm high, I feel the love
(It's my religion)
(It's my religion)
Music is my religion
And that's enough
Yeah that's enough
(It's my religion)
(Yeah, yeah)
(It's my religion)
Clap your hands if you feel that
Move your feet if you need that
(Yeah, yeah)
One more time let the whole crowd sing
Everybody get lost in it
Lead:
Oh-oh, I can feel it now
Oh-oh, don't bring me down
Oh-oh, let it take me now
Backing vocals:
Higher
Higher

Music is my religion
Music is my religion
