Lyrics:
Say that i need to be saved
Say with me the devils got his way
I want to know how when you are praying
And when you are doomsdaying
How you think you know that someone is listening to what you are saying
CHORUS
So you think that you
Can tell us how to live our lives
Never questioning the source from which your moral code derives
You think that suffering is part of some great plan that's been devised
I wonder, I wonder
When we'll be rid of your lies
Say I need to hear the truth
A sales-pitch of eternal life and eternal youth
All these blessings you are bestowing
Upon the one you say is all-knowing
Are they really deserved if He is sending me where you say I am going?
CHORUS
So you think that you
Can tell us how to live our lives
Never questioning the source from which your moral code derives
You think that suffering is part of some great plan that's been devised
I wonder, I wonder, I wonder, I wonder
What will it take for you
To start opening your eyes
To start questioning the bullshit everyone around you buys
You think it's any of your business what goes on between my thighs?
I wonder, I wonder,
When we'll be rid of your lies

This song sounds like freedom.
Wow. Thanks Daniel. It definitely feels like that to sing.
How
@phosphorescent wave like what
@@ShelleySegal If this was a Christian song the way it just made me feel would be attributed to the holy spirit lol. Shelley, your voice is so beautiful and your lyrics so meaningful! Religion has caused me so much harm and your music truly does sound like freedom to me and also healing. THANK YOU! 💖
Yes....exactly
For 30 years, I sought the truth. I read my bible, I prayed, I asked leaders for insight, I believed fervently. in all those years, I never felt like I was finding anything, just searching.
Then I deconstructed my faith, found out it was nonsense, and now I'm atheist. In my search for truth, I found it, and it set me free.
Welcome heathen❤❤⚛️
Wonderful.
@@GeneticReconstructionyay
So happy for you to have found your freedom! ❤️💪
@@ShelleySegal yay
Hello from Georgian🇬🇪 atheists. We live in a country where 95% of population is religious, and songs like that, as well as programs like Axp give us a breath of fresh air and some hope.
Thanks Borderlines! Stay strong 💪❤️
Well if it's the same god, it made carbon monoxide also. And loves it.
61 year old Atheistic woman (culturally Jewish but don't believe the religious stuff anymore -- maybe never did). Powerful - inspirational song that I totally relate to -- thank you.
Thanks AllThings! That’s my background too, although I used to be religious. Appreciate you taking the time to comment x
How dare u loose our Jewish ✡️ faith.You will suffer for this remember
ATHEISM IS LIBERATING AND EMPOWERING... I'm so glad, I am no longer a brainwashed irrationalist, AND MORE IMPORTANTLY I AM NOT ALONE. Grow Atheist Community, Grow!!
Atheist Community Is A Fucking CULT!
Yes, grow... 😈
@@Dark_Force_Of_Wishes 😄 thank you for a good laugh
@@Dark_Force_Of_Wishes Bullshit you idiot. Atheism is just asking you for proof of your god. Prick
Welcome to the real world. One day atheism will no longer be taboo,
Deconverting was difficult. I appreciate this song, it brings the feeling of freedom.
Becoming an atheist is easy. Read the bible.
@@dudovich13 I used to be a Christian no it's not
@@dudovich13 also screw the Bible
@@misterfrancis been an atheist 40 years. My mother was religious. She told me I could speak to spirits. Never happened.
@@dudovich13 good for you but saying becoming an atheist in a controlling religion is easy is far from the truth
I can't listen to this song without getting emotional. 53 years of misery and feeling out of place. Followed by one year of absolute terror - fear of losing everything. Everyone. But once you know the truth...it's impossible to go back! Thank you (and The Atheist Experience) for providing a soft place to land. I'm still a work in progress, but, ooooohhhhhhh so much happier!
53 years.......53...To have the strength to look at 53 years of belief and say this doesn't add up! That takes unbelievable amounts of courage and sincerity. You are with out any doubt a inspiration.
@@centeroftheuniverse ,Thank you! I owe this progress to my daughter who recognized this in her teens. She planted the initial seeds. She dared to ask the questions that I had always had. I accepted the lame ass answers. She didn't. I am eternally grateful to her and to people like you who reaffirm that I have done the right thing.
@@sheilaspence1250 Sister girl! From on African American atheist to another I can tell you how amazingly free it is to be of that dogma!
You can be you, and answer only to your conscience and your legacy. I didn't deal with it as long as you did but welcome to true freedom
Hi Sheila!! Thanks so much for your comment here. I am so overjoyed for you!!!!! As @Darkasday said it's incredible brave of you to make this change. You should be proud for having raised a daughter who was able to think for herself and that you were open enough to be able to share what she was learning. ❤️❤️❤️I went through a similar experience with my mum. Sending you my love and best wishes, Shelley
@@centeroftheuniverse hear hear!
It's disappointing an artist and song such as this isn't nearly as popular as it should be. Beautiful song, incredible voice. Don't stop what you're doing.
Yeah... I guess it's not more popular since the majority of humans are religious, lol.
Thanks so much Conrad
Conrad Winkles people hate to think! That is why!
TheHelado36 Pity.
Roger that.
Hey fellow atheist, sorry to get on here so late 2023 but yeah i wish this beautiful song and message would get out more to the whole world who have been brainwashed by religion.
Honestly, after years of being ostracized for asking poignant questions, it's relieving to have an anthem that so perfectly encapsulates my grievances with the Abrahamic religions and religion in general. Thanks, Shelley!
Ostracized, yes. I know very well what that feels like. Yes, feels, not felt. Maybe we won't see it but our descendants will live free of religion's poisonous influence.
This song is amazing! The only reason it isn't more popular is because many people don't agree with it.
Thanks Dude :D
And AXP has taught us that the number of people who believe a thing is absolutely not a measure of the truth of that thing.
Whether they agree with it or not, they have zero control over our lives lol
Corporations and marketing psychology aside ... lol
@@ibrudiiv and the argument that free will is a illusion
I totally agree with what Shelley's saying. I've never understood why religion plays such an important part of influencing society's decision and opinions.
I totally agree with Shelley Segal. We should open our eyes and start questioning all the bullshit that everyone around us buys.
Look for her songs and albums.
Dennis Pennington Agree
@Andrew Aaboe -- I believe you, unfortunately. You see, if you weren't an idiot, you'd already understand that what you should question are _arguments,_ and not *sources*
Go and learn wtf the "poisoning the well" and "ad hominem" fallacies are and why employing them as you do makes *you* the dumbass in the room...
My eyes have always been open. The indoctrination of religion is the process by which adults forcibly shut a child's. Often for life.
I totally agree.
An Atheist Anthem at it's finest .
Have fun listeing to this while burning in HELL
RPENT OR BE TURTURED IN HELL FOREVER!!!!!!
@@hillbilly2065 Are you ok?
@@Zukiedo
YES BUT YOU WIILL NOT BE OKAY IF YOU GO TO HELL AND BE TURTURED FOREVER AND EVER!!!!
REPENT NOW!!!!!
@@hillbilly2065 Not what I mean. I mean what's gotten you so angry?
@@hillbilly2065 My apologies, I thought the vague threats of eternal torture and the all caps were indicative of anger.
Consider us warned. Well done
Ex pastor I have found my mind and my freedom to think
Nice👍🏻
I knew there had to be other former pastors or missionaries who saw the truth!!
I was one myself.
I am so free and equally blessed without religion
I love the tone, and mood of this song.
it's like optimistically defiant.
Love it
100% agree there.

A Team!
I love the octave jump from "what will it" to "take for you". Super effective. Also, I've been binging the podcast for days (I had a cold) and I finally picked up my guitar from the floor and started playing along. :D Certified hood classic!
Love this! Hope I get to hear a cover version one day 🤩🤩
@@ShelleySegal Compared to yours, my singing is rather ... I sing to my cat. She loves it, but she's obviously biased.
I could maybe accompany someone who's actually good at singing. My guitar fu is actually improving, largely thanks to YT.
Hello, fellow athiest's 🌻I just sent this to my 17-year-old daughter and she's going to love it!
I hope she does! Thanks for stopping by 🥰
my daughter was born this morning at 1115 hrs. we debated names, but as my grandma was Michelle (Shelley) I thought you might like to welcome your namesake: Shelley Anne Garred 😀
Congratulations Steven!!!!! Hope mum and Shelley are going great :D
Adorable name. Michelle. :)
I love this tune . its so so so filling and says what id like to say .
This song wipes the sand out of the Ostridge family's eyes.
Wow! There's something so moving about the way you encompass these messages of freedom in your music; it's not often I find a new favourite artist, and this is one of those times.
I love this song. You have an amazing voice and lyrical talent
Such an underrated artist
I love this song!
Been watching The atheist experience for about a decade now and I've heard the song in short so many times during the opening and closing of the show, but never actually looked it up until today.
This shit brought me to tears and I listened to it three times in a row.
Love it.
Thank you.
Hey Ryan! Thanks so much for stopping by and listening and for taking the time to share your comment with me. I really appreciate it and am so glad the song resonated with you. All the best x
Same here. Brought me to tears.
Same! Never realized it was this awesome!
I saw my first episode of The Atheist Experience today and I just had to look up this song because not only are the lyrics amazing and resonating, but the song absolutely 100% rocks!
Thank you so much for taking the time to check out the whole song!! So happy it resonates with you
Best wishes x
@@ShelleySegal my pleasure. literally 😁
Such a good line "never questioning the source from which your moral code derives".
Thanks Flip! It's nice when a line can be so specific and true (and also rhyme :P)
Simple, lyrical but so powerful. A really great piece of writing isn't it?
@@Celtic_Thylacine yes it's very thought out very well.
15 yr old ATHIEST, FEEL GOOD TO KNOW I AM NOT ALONE❤
Thanks for taking the time to write Llaaoo. You’re not alone ❤️❤️❤️
Don't let those pesky "gods-believers" bring you down. They just do it to make themselves feel better about their shitty life choices.
Hello, I'm an atheist from Brazil and I'm also happy to know that I'm not alone.
You're among friends.
@@athfcoz Thank you, here in Brazil we atheists are ridiculed by Christians, Christians are always laughing and mocking what we atheists say.
Love to see so openly atheist musicians.
Why am I always crying @ 1:25 mark. I just ❤ this human
Every now and then I just need to come back and listen to this song, 4 minutes of the world feeling like a less lonely place.
thanks Ash, for taking the time to share that means a lot to me.
Why isn’t this song number one all around the world, or at least played in popular radio.
Most of the world is religious. They're fragile.
The x'tian radio stations play it at closing time and during their Staff prayer meetings.
because they're afraid of fundamentalist cristians and other religious pricks.
Cos it’s too confronting . Easier to seek comfort in make believe crap.
Because unfortunately majority of the population are brainwashed sheep that eagerly BELIEVE in the flying invisible sky-daddy or whatever entity they believe in.
Most atheist songs I hear are metal songs so it's interesting to hear it in pop form,.I especially like the "I wonder" part of the chorus
WHY DID IT TAKE ME SO LONG TO FIND THIS SONG?! I love this so much
🎵 LYRICS 🎵

You think it's any of your business what goes on between my thighs?
I wonder, I wonder,

:D
Thaaaanks😍
I love the lyrics to this song. Being an atheist myself, it's nice to have an anthem that represents my way of thinking, as well as everyone who's non-religious.
Theists probably angry af listening to this song😂
I've been listening and singing along with this song for years now. Sometimes very loudly in my motorcycle helmet where no one can hear me. I love it and its one of those great songs I'm always going to love. Top marks absolutely beautiful!
I can't believe you're still hearting and responding to comments after 8 years. I wish more artists were like you.
She's still at it, this is what passion for your music and message looks like
Amazing...
Thank you Hazrat!
How did it take me so long to find this song?!?!?!!
You made it!!! Hehe
This Song says everything, Perfect!! love it!!
BEST SONG EVER!!
Thank you
@@ShelleySegal Not a problem. Where and when are you performing next cause I'd like to catch it.
I need to play this for my friend who told me today that the Earth is 4000 years old and dinosaurs were on Noah's ark!
How did it go XD?
Did it get through? ;)
People like that RARELY listen to common sense.
4000? *sigh* When they can't even be wrong correctly.
The Exodus is claimed to have happened 4000 years ago. Even if you go "ultra literal scriptural interpretation = 100% reality", there's time before that, and a good amount.
OMG. It's you Shelley! Never saw the notices that my post here had any replies! So a year later, here goes: No. Never got to play it for her (she is a coworker actually). My plan was to play it in my car on the way back from lunch - just in the background to see if she noticed the lyrics... and then I hoped to have a calm discussion on the topic. I pushed back all the time (for many years) on her fundamentalist statements, but the "A" word had never come up. She knew I wasn't a fundamentalist - but I never told her I don't believe AT ALL. So I think she always had hope of SAVING me. As we got in my car that day, I turned the radio on and the Bluetooth reconnected with my phone, which then lit up with The Thinking Atheist logo (as that was the podcast playing when I last had the radio on). She saw it and her mouth dropped open. She asked my why I'd listen to something about atheism. So I spilled the beans. She freaked out. "ATHESIST! YOU ARE AN ATHEIST!!!" On and on she went about how could anyone believe everything was an accident, and how could I know right from wrong. How could I be so stupid? Believing in evolution is like a twister going through a junkyard and assembling a 747... (Yes - she actually parroted that old one!) She didn't even let me talk. Sadly it went down hill from there over time. She sent a few emails trying to convince me I was wrong, but that eventually stopped as she didn't like my replies. Now we only say "Hi" when crossing in the hallways at work. Awkward. I have a few other fundamentalist YE creationist co-workers who also preach at me occasionally, but I now do not want to risk a repeat of creating more awkward relationships at the office. Very sad.BTW... I look forward to The Atheist Experience every week even more than before since they use your song as the intro. Often it gets me to pull it up on my iPhone and play the entire thing afterwards. Not at work though. Best Regards!
This is fucking great
Thanks!!!!
@@ShelleySegal yay
I have been a fan of the Atheist Experience for a decade or more. This song is a BANGER! THANK YOU for this anthem!
Camera work is actually fire
Thanks! Yeh they did an amazing job
@@ShelleySegal OMG thanks for reply from artist for 10 year old video, much love! Watched more atheist experience in my life than I care to admit
Me too!
Only heard this song for the first time recently. Now I just want to sing it as loud as I can every single day. Exactly how I feel when I hear preaching or "Thanking god". Just beautiful.
This is a banger
Everything about this song is 100 percent!!! Thank you Shelly
Such an insanely good song, top talent this girl
Thank you @ShelleySegal. It is my sincerest wish that people like you be an inspiration to all of humanity one day. Thanks to all involved in bringing this song to my life.
That is very kind of you to say. I’m
Very Glad the song resonates with you
Thank you Johnny ❤️
@@ShelleySegal Hi Shelley, I'm sure you deserve much better than my limited vocabulary was able to provide. (I now realise I spelled your name wrong in my previous message. Apologies for that.) I came across your song randomly as I was driving here in Brussels last night. It was 3 am, dumbstruck, I had to stop the car, go back, find the song, so that I could listen to it over and over again. And I could not bring myself to start driving again, which would divert my focus. So thank you once again for this experience, and may freedom & love prevail.
At some point this video should have had a slow-motion clip of Matt Dillahunty gyrating his hips and looking seductively into the camera with Russell dancing in the background.
hahahah i would pay some good money to see that
Joseph lol someone get on it! (Both ways lol)
Joseph Omg, that would be so AWESOME! XD
Why ?? You some kind of PERVERT ?
Dave Clarke Yes, I am a pervert.
This is the first time I've heard the full song.
Blown away! Love it!
Thanks JC :)
Shelley Segal No, thank you, Shelley!
One of the first to get that.
Shelly, you have helped me in ways you can never know. I love you for it! Peace and happiness!
Hey P, thanks so much for taking the time to share this, it means more to me than you could know. ✌️❤️✌️
If the smallest, most unavoidable faux-pas, including ones God made us with (homosexuality) will send us to hell, and any Christian goes to heaven regardless of their lives, afterlife isn't about punishment or reward. It's just God surrounding himself with worshipers and sending anyone who doesn't think he's the greatest, most merciful creature ever to eternal punishment. How is that merciful, just, or anything but unbelievably narcissistic and cruel?
+Katherine S. His words/laws are his own indictment
Katherine S. - Exactly! Heaven is a celestial North Korea, where everyone must worship the "beloved leader," or else...
At least, in North Korea, you can fucking die and get escape.
Not in heaven. You're there for *eternity.*
- Christopher Hitchens
Thankfully, as Shelley says in her awesome song, it's all bullshit.
Obviously made up by primitive people, to manipulate other primitive people.
Such a beautiful voice and lyrics are exactly true.
Al Acton Thaaaaanks :)
Shelley Segal your so welcome really enjoying the music
I'm gonna buy the album today.
Shelly Segal: musician, intellectual, sinner, entertainer.
♥
Good line for a bio :P :D
@@ShelleySegal You can have it if you want it. :)
Well, sin is a human construct to control other humans. Maybe add realist?
@@GrandmaofMac I agree, but I think the sinner line fits the artistic theme.
wish I could like this more than once
There once was a girl , who had a curl , right in the middle of her forehead , and when she was good , she was very very good , and when she was bad we adored her. Love ya.
Thanks Susan
Searched this jam out from watching Athiest Experience. I kept singing just the little that I knew from the openings of the show. Love the song and I aprectiate your strength in knowing who you are and what you believe or don't believe. I assume you have other songs so I'll be checking them out now, Thanks.
This song has really grown on me
This song is absolutely beautiful. The content is meaningful, and that little extra spice of anger in it contrasts with the smoothness of your voice and the easy listening attitude of the music. Very well done.
Thank you Simone, I appreciate it :D
This song makes me feel like I'm not alone I feel like I can't share my beliefs with my family This song makes the Pain a little easier to bear
Hey King. Thanks for taking the time to share your reflections here. I’m sorry you can’t be yourself openly with family. You are definitely not alone!!
@@ShelleySegal keep in all bottled up is painful I live in Southern Ohio so I have no choice but to stay quiet about my beliefs
@@kingflame6588Thats sad, I am in the same boat. I don't know how my family will respond, so I am waiting until Im financially independent tell them.
@@StrikerEureka13 i the thing worse part is they can be as open as they want about Thier beliefs they don't know the pain of having to hold it in just you can make ends meat.
Your voice is awesome, and your message is much needed in the world.
Damn finally hearing the whole song is so good, strikes right in the feels. Shelley you're a star!
Wow, thank you Neo! Really appreciate it :D
Thank you for this beautiful song, Shelley. I love you for it!
Thank you Steelerfan, sending love right back
@@ShelleySegal I hope you can return to Houston some day. I would treasure the opportunity to hear you perform in person. Thank you again for the song and also for the lovely reply.
great message and pretty song. we need more atheist songs
Thank you Adrian :D
No, thank you! Keep spreading the TRUTH!!!⚛☮
Thanks Dogma Debate for introducing me to this wonderful artist and song. You are amazing Shelley!
ToThePointGames thanks heaps :)
Shelley Segal BTW your dad is almost as awesome as you, make sure he knows that!
ToThePointGames hehehe. Thanks. I let him know :) He said 'Almost?!?!' :P
Shelley Segal Almost is still a compliment. =)
Great Melody hook and I like the bass line
Nice Song. The Atheist Experience brought me here! :)
Thanks :)
+Shelley Segal where does the history come from?
me too.. great song
I wrote the song after I had a discussion with a street preacher
+Shelley Segal good job. make more songs to help people realize the truth.
Good to see you've been adopted for the opening music to TheAtheistExperience webcast, Shelley.
Great song and eloquent argument.
+Socks With Sandals Thanks a lot socks :D

Thank you Helado
So am I hearing that if atheists ran the world there would be no law? Because surely you wouldn’t want to tell anyone how to live their lives....it’s their life after all they only get one xddd
this song gives me the chills every time, beautiful in itself and for what it stands for
This is the perfect song
:D
Such a beautiful song almost brought tears to my eyes
THanks Fireblade :D
It did bring tears to mine.
i'll admit to tearing up a bit, the greatest music doesn't just sound awesome, it moves you! ^^
Almost? I played it so many times in a row trying to learn the melody and timing that I _almost_ can listen through the whole song without shedding a tear and I can also _almost_ sing it without breaking XD But I _will_ fucking sing it! I'm going on a holiday with my friends and they're all musicians, sooooooo I figured, since I finally got myself to do cover songs, I blow them away with this one :D If I don't break :p But it's fine if I do. I get plenty of chances to make up for it and they more than understand :D
It does help to not see Shelley sing it :p That naughty radiant sun really makes it hurt more how people are (often voluntarily and often forcefully) held back by dogma to not be that shiny bright star that Shelley is.
Everytime the atheist experience starts I almost cry from this song. Amazing
Great song. Love it!! Also came over from Atheist Experience.
Thanks Stevo!
Hands down...the best song I've heard this year...
Thanks Nazanin!!
What a weird ride I've been on, From Catholic to agnostic, to atheo-pagan, to finally realizing I was always just a down to earth Atheist. This song is so beautiful, I wish I could have found it sooner!
I wish I could like this a hundred times. I bought the album and have purchased your others as they appear. We need more artists like you! BTW, I'd love to see a collab between you and Tim Minchin! That would be amazing.
My existential rage is incredible. On another note, that's a well crafted song.
heheh thanks SYS
Thanks for your great work and music. I remember watching you play live in London.
+Agatan Fnd Thank you Agatan :)
Hopefully see you in London again sometime soon

ഞാനൊരു ഇന്ത്യൻ റിപ്പബ്ലികിൽ ജീവിക്കുന്ന മനുഷ്യൻ . ഇവിടെ ഹിന്ദുമതത്തിലും ക്രിസ്തുമതത്തിലും ഞാൻ ജീവിക്കുന്ന കേരളത്തിൽ വളരെ ജാതീയത ഉണ്ട്. ജാതിയും മതവും വെച്ച് ഇന്ത്യയിലെ ആദിമ മനുഷ്യരായ ആൾക്കാരെ വല്ലാതെ നൊമ്പരപ്പെടുത്തിക്കൊണ്ട് പ്രബല മതജീവികൾ പ്രബല ജാതി ജീവികൾ ഇവിടെ എന്തും കാണിക്കാം എന്നുള്ള ഒരു അവസ്ഥ സ്വാതന്ത്ര്യം കിട്ടിയിട്ട് 70 വർഷത്തിനു ശേഷവും ഇന്ത്യയിലെ വളരെ അധികം 80 ശതമാനത്തിൽ കൂടുതൽ ഉണ്ടാവുന്നു. ഹിന്ദുമതം എന്നാൽ തന്നെ ജാതീയത എന്നതാണ് പ്രാമുഖ്യം. ഇങ്ങനെയുള്ള ഒരു സമൂഹത്തിൽ യുക്തി ബോധം ഉള്ളവർക്ക് ജീവിക്കാൻ സമ്മതിക്കാത്ത ഒരു അവസ്ഥയാണ്. ദൈവത്തിന് കൂട്ടുപിടിച്ചുകൊണ്ട് ഇന്ത്യയിൽ എമ്പാടും കേരളത്തിലും ക്രിസ്ത്യാനികളും മുസ്ലീങ്ങളും ഹിന്ദുക്കളും ജാതിയതയും മത അന്ധതയും വളർത്തി കൊണ്ടിരിക്കുകയാണ്.
I bought this album- totally worth it! I cry on apocolyptic love song every time!
I love it
My mom always listens to this podcast and I always hear this song.
Ngl it's fire
This is one of the best songs on TH-cam for a bunch of reasons. It always reminds me of The atheist experience. Love the episode where Shelly and Matt do it live in the beginning of the episode. But the most amazing thing about this song is when she does it live it sounds exactly like the original version which is absolutely incredible. And we know someone isn't a great singer unless they can sing live, and she might be one of the best live singers I've ever heard! Seriously
THanks Scott for your lovely comment!! I really appreciate it :D Hope to catch you at a live show one day :D
As a regular listener of the Atheist Experience, I have to say there could not be a better song for it. Your voice, the lyrics, the way it resonates so clearly. I hate to say it, but just sitting here, listening to your song in its entirety is almost like a religious experience. I know that's just our natural response, as a social species.
I guess what I'm trying to say is thank you for sharing this with us, your fellow human beings. Much love.
No; a better song for 'The A-the-ass Excretions' would be '|_oser' by Beck. And, 'What What (in the "But")' by Sam-well. 😏
@@johnharrison6745 , thanks. But, you try to should save some of that Christ-like infinite compassion for later.
@@sirjazzaroth "Sorry"; no compassion for loudmouthed, blaspheming god-haters who think that they're *WAY* "bigger" than they actually are, and, who could use a nice, smooth river-rock buried right between their eyes. 😉
So glad I stumbled upon this gem today.
Thanks Luna :D
You can hear the full album on bandcamp :D

Thank you
Yes to TRUE LOVE
Atheist Experience 23.07, audience laughs at Matt Dillahuntys checky fact at the start of the video. People still remember the music
That was an awesome memory
So wonderful! Awesome! Bravo! 😊
Can’t express how much I love this song. Such a beautiful expressive voice! ❤❤❤
I came here from the Atheist Experience
+boriss vassiljev Me too :)
Actually, She was in an interview with Aron Ra... Now.
And i thought her voice sounded familiar.
Me too
Amazing!
What a fine looking and talented lady. If I weren't already an atheist I would be one after hearing her.
Whoa the atheist experience intro music is a whole song and it's awesome. Why didn't I know this sooner 🤦♂️
You're great, thanks for this!
Ahhh that's so cool! Glad you finally discovered it - thanks!

This song still gives me chills and nearly brings me to tears every time I hear it! Thank you!
So glad to have this track, and the whole album, for my Atheism in America course! Thanks!
Brand new fan. Finally a singer I can relate to and music I like all in one!
Thanks SO much Sara :D
Loved you singing this on The Atheist Experience, live - it's important to have a community and you've taken a part in contributing to it. That's something many artists don't realize - the truly fantastic impact their art has. It's a beautiful song, and has a permanent home on my spotify playlist. Thank you for your art - it's fantastic, and I look forward to seeing and hearing more in the future. It's helped me, and it will help many others for years to come.
This is the global atheist theme tune.
Shelley is wonderful, an amazing inspiration. I wish I had half her bravery.
Kick arse Shelley your well loved!.Xxx
Thanks Ray! Really appreciate the kind words
1 of the most beautiful voices and messages ive heard of.. and your Australian like me ❤❤❤
You should be at number 1 on the charts
Thank you Husky x
OMG!
Whoops I didn't mean to say that, but what a poignant message, and so well composed and performed. I like this rock version best, the raw grittiness of the electric chorus line carries the rage and resentment more effectively, over being subject to other's presumption of moral superiority and attempt to regulate individuals' agency over their bodies and lives.
