about

JESUS IN A BACKBEAT (3:33)
written by Steve Leidal, Bryce Lewis and Blake J Berglund (SOCAN/ASCAP)

lyrics

I sought a pathway riddled with destruction
I came addicted to ungodly sights and a momentary rush
And regardless of my best of intensions
My attempts were never quite enough

I heard pieces of a greater type of wisdom
I heard the teachings of an unconditional love
I held glimpses of life's greater meanings
How we share a consciousness of one

The Lord showed me in lights the seven chakras of my soul
I found Jesus in a backbeat, the phase on my guitar
Let the Holy Spirit tear through a Telecaster lick
The low end set my energy within
(Mother Mary drive the hell clean out of it )

There's a fire burning wicked in the mind's eye
To one releases that which does not serve
Surrender in an effort of forgiveness
To truly show a chance at the rebirth

I found myself in dire desperation
Begging for a saviour and the power of his blood

It was instant in the pit of my stomach
A burning that spread throughout my lungs
I was answered when I cried for protection
I'll never turn my back on the Holy Son

Berglund emerges in a new environment as a truther with a job to do. His songwriting is influenced by a rapidly changing society and the glaring difficulties of the human condition. A thoughtful twang packaged with a fearless and satirical wit.
