God-Fearing Atheist.......... I have to add harmony and mix it right , Odd song
https://soundcloud.com/elvisnash/god-fearing-athiest
There's a doubting Thomas in my head
Did Jesus rise from the dead?
Sometimes I believe in Evolution
Big Bang theory and nuclear fusion
But when the Specter of Death gets too close
I cling to the Bible and Holy Ghost
ch
Im a God-Fearing Atheist
Over my heart I wear a crucifix
Science or faith will set me free
Don’t know which one it will be
Devil on the left makes trouble
Angel on the right makes me tremble
Some folks might call me a damn hypocrite
I'm a God Fearing Atheist
v2
Astrology is for gypsies
People with insecurities
I’ve read the Book of Revelations
Damnation and salvation
At best I’m lukewarm agnostic
Strong and gentle kind and caustic
Chorus
Prayers fill up churches and foxholes
Here comes the Calvary preacher now
Better try to dig my way out
Chorus

Hi Bud,
Just to say the links aren't working for me either.
The lyrics interesting and a bit of a different vibe from what I've heard from you good self thus far. A quick note of which I'm sure you're aware, but agnosticism and atheism aren't mutually exclusive. Most atheists are agnostic as well. 👍️
I look forward to you getting the link working.

I'm going to finish it , Throw harmony and some Beck autotune tricks on it
I have a new respect for rap , its hard

Most atheists are agnostic as well. I guess its mostly just hitting on the confusion of religion and science

Not sure how I hear any "rapping" here but nice try I guess haha. I think the words aren't strong enough yet, allow the listener to understand the hypocrisy or at least be part of it so maybe go a bit deeper. Also be careful with rhymes that just have the same suffix, ie. -ies, -ic, -ion (gets a bit repetitive). I understand you start a song and then want to finish it so have fun. I prefer never to hear autotune ever again but if you insist be my guest haha

Well I can certainly relate to the lyrics. This isn't what I've come to expect from you, but I like it nonetheless. I don't hear any rapping either but this is powerful. Keep em comin'😀

No rapping eh lol , About as close to rap as I'll get I guess
About as deep as were going to get also on lyrics lol
Thanks

I think there are many people who are atheists on a day by day basis, but seek the comfort of belief in difficult times, and your lyric encompasses that well. Not sure about the match between the musical style and the lyric. The lyric seems uncertain, but the music is very full on in it's approach. Kudos for doing something out of your comfort zone!

Thats it out of my comfort zone , well doctor it up with high harmonys
Religion has always confused me , Here we got this so called great God , but the world is a shithole
I watched a show on Harry Nilson , he had the same problem

No Harmony Beck vibe like Loser

He's going to trash that vocal like Beck In Loser

For what it's worth @ElvisNash I found this to be the most interesting of you tracks I've heard thus far. So many influences but you all the way through. There's almost so much to comment on that I don't know where to start. You vocals, the melody, your instrument choice are all great and sit well in the mix. The song packs a punch.
Certainly it's fair to say I don't agree that this sucks, but I guess vive la difference! 👍️

its caustic , losing my ass on music

I read the lyrics before listening and I liked it, you describe something that happens to all of us regardless of our religion.
I didn't know what I was going to hear and I was very pleasantly surprised! I love this new formula, the effect on the voice is great, the arrangement and instrumentation strongly wrap the melody, it becomes catchy. I liked it a lot. Me encantó!! @ElvisNash
This last line, for my taste, is great
"..Better try to dig my way out"

..Better try to dig my way out" yup , The confusion on Evolution and religion
