I Wish I Had Religion A somewhat lyrically dark rock tune. Leon - Lyrics & Vocals I played a number of rhythm & lead guitars(and sang a little). The Band: RealTracks in style: 1268:Bass, Electric, PopUplift Ev16 120 RealTracks in style: 1278:Synth Pad, PopUplift Ev 120 RealTracks in style: 1272:Guitar, Electric, Rhythm PopUpliftSyncA-B Ev16 120 RealTracks in style: 1853:Guitar, Electric, Rhythm PopUpliftA-B Ev 120 RealTracks in song: ~522:Guitar, Acoustic, Fingerpicking Ev 120 RealDrums in style: PraiseWorshipUptempo16^1-a:Snare, HiHat, Kick , b:Snare, Ride
I Wish I Had ReligionSomebody creeping into my dreams Grabs my hand and I wake with a scream I don’t know how this ties into What I’m working through, in my subconscious My subconscious There’s a feeling that I can’t pin down Turn that frown upside down I’d like to say it’ll be alright I’d like to go to sleep tonight, unconscious unconscious I wish I had religion At least that way I could pray I wish I had religion At least that way I could pray The wind is blowing hard again However much that we pretend Fanatics, fools and demagogues let slip the dogs of war The dogs of war They pay me for what’s in my head I’d like to build something instead So obsessed with how we look Eyes on phones, never read a book Unconscious Unconscious She drove her car out to the lake Kissed their cheeks, released the brake Couldn’t see a future bright Said kids we’re going to sleep tonight Unconscious Unconscious I wish I had religion At least that way I could pray I wish I had religion At least that way I could pray Got a feeling that I can’t define Looking over my shoulder all the time I’ d like to say it’ll be alright I’d like to sleep right through the night, unconscious unconscious I wish I had religion At least that way I could pray I wish I had religion At least that way I could pray

I liked a lot the passage after the first chorus where the music seems to stops.
Well done.

Peter and Leon,
That enlivened my evening!
It's very different from your usual and I found it mesmerising. To my ears, the chorus is great and has a lot of potential to be an anthem. Have you thought about using it with this in mind?
I congratulate you on all the effects wizardry too. It's something that I've started playing around with lately and it overwhelms me most of the time!
All the best,
Noel

Nice!
Cool lyrics and very strong chorus.
Love the break down after that first chorus, very effective, and after the last chorus leading into the guitar solo.
Twin lead guitars during the solo is very cool too!
Well done Peter and Leon!

It seems like it pretty cool but the vocals are completely swamped for the 1st few lines and gets lost again in the refrain.
When things drop back a little the vocal seems well set but it doesn't lift when the backing surges.
It's a terrific song, the arrangements are cool too - moving away from the obvious.
The solo is cool - and the movement in the parts is a treat.
Cheers

I really like the song. Loved the guitar solo and the production. Really intriguing lyric, as well. I agree that much of the vocal got buried in the effects. Awesome write and nice use of the backing tracks.

Really nice work! Really interesting from a conceptual standpoint. I'd personally turn up the volume on the vocals a bit, but that aside this is incredible. I love the lyrics, and the vocals are powerful and unique. Great work and thanks for sharing 
Cheers,
Deryk

Hello Peter, I thought this song was very well done! It may just be my musical tastes, but I feel this is probably your best to date when you take into consideration every facet of the song, production, instrumentation and musicianship! Someone use the word mesmerizing and I could not agree more! I enjoyed every second of it! Thanks, Torrey

Peter & Leon,
SUPERB!
Y'all have both out-done yourselves on this one.
An excellent ""Dream Rock" write.
An excellent "Dream Rock" vocal - cool processing.
An excellent "Dream Rock" production.
I like the mix. It has a dream-like quality - Perfect!
This sounds GREAT really loud.
Excellent Music.

Good lyrics, interesting little twists. Similarly, the changes throughout the song kept me interested to hear what would happen next. Nicely done all around!

Peter & Leon,
I don`t usually repeat immediately on a song, but there`s no way to get all that`s going on here in one listen.
Its ambitious; prog rock with excellent lyrics, daring changes ( love that shift to the acoustic guitar at 1:30) and superb guitar layers.
On phones the vocals aren`t too far back for me - and there are some nice effects on them.
One of your best -and one of the most original songs I`ve heard here for some time.
Robert

Wow, what a dark mood! I like the dynamic flow of the song From a calm acoustic to strong chorus. Interesting chording and melody. Great arrangement completed by that solo guitar work.

We agree with Dave.
The song, the guitar solo and the production are very cool. But the vocals could do with a little less effects.
Anyway, a very interesting song.
Rob and Anne-Marie
