Born Secular

So why am i up 12:32am on a Saturday evening in bed lights off writing this? Just rediscovering a song that I hated before but now I love. It only took me a good year to fully understand and appreciate this song. I'm not sure why. Maybe it's Jenny Lewis's agnostic lyrics, the innocent casio-like drum beat, the Watson twins' haunting vocals, the three minute long drum exitlude. Who knows. Not me.

All I know is I can't stop listening.

Born Secular
Jenny Lewis with the Watson Twins

I was born secular and inconsolable
I heard that he walked, he walked the earth
God goes where he wants
And who knows where he is not
Not in me

It's the way mothers greet their sons
When it's a moment too late
It's the law of the land
That sometimes the dam just breaks
God works in mysterious ways
And God gives and then he takes
From me
