am i the only one whose favorite part in this song is the part where the instruments quiet down and you just hear kevin barnes' voice with the delay effect? the moment when he says "fractious heart" it sent a legitimate shiver down my spine.
This is my favorite song off the album as well. I just saw of Montreal/Janelle Monae live earlier this week and was shocked that they didn't do this song, especially considering Janelle was there. Still an incredible show all around.
@freestyledog1 i totally agree. it was so much more beautiful before! i mean this version is nice and all, but i like the piano version. its the equivalent of john lennon taking imagine and making it all funky and electronic. lol. i guess the original version is usually always better

This song is most definitely about religion "how can we ever evolve, when our gods are so primitive?"
"they destroy the hope for peace, the hope for love"
religions build more barriers between people, rather than bringing them closer to each other.
