Yesterday I tried to write a novel but I didn't know where to begin so I laid down in the grass trying to feel the world turn.

I'm an atheist, but still like hearing this version of the song because:

1. I like Prince
2. Even if I didn't understand the language of the lyrics, the music is good and moving.
3. The song title and lyrics pose challenging questions to self-described theists behaving immorally on a day-to-day basis.

Music can short circuit critical thought, no doubt.

The key within is balance.

We're all just the same.
