Me and heaven have a complicated history... Piano and vocals

Lyrics

I can't stand
The thought of heaven
I thought I left that concept in the past

Some special tea
Took me out
And said "not so fast"

We are one
We are the universe
I am all
I am the universe

I am you
And you are me
To infinity
(But I don't want to be)

I wanted nothing after death
Nothing after my last breath
I wanted nothing after death

I am ex-religious, and I very much rate the way you explore this topic, so succinctly and elegantly expressed. I like your use of tenses in the last line, they bring nuance and resonance to your exploration. A great listen.

Great music, and the lyrics to the point. Good skirmish.

The intro really pulled me in and the rest of the song got me hanging in, great song!

so straightforward and subversive, i don't think i've ever heard anyone talk about hating the idea of heaven. fab

I like this very much! The piano repetition is insistent but fits with what feels like a powerful rant against issues with which you have struggled. Nice work!

Wow - great stuff - the anger comes through - especially at the beginning but then you go into the universe section and it's quite breathtakingly beautiful. I love this. p.s. totally agree with the sentiment.
