Bad Religion

The fourteenth track on the hit album Channel Orange by Frank Ocean is a wonderful ballad where a heartfelt Frank, pours his heart out about a one sided relationship he was in.

Bad Religion
"Bad Religion" features melodramatic, orchestral music and a series of  figures, including strings, handclaps, marching band snare drums,   and mournful  organ chords.  The lyrics follow an emotional confession to a taxi driver by a narrator brooding over a secretive intimate relationship.   Music journalist  Alexis Petridis asserted that the song "repurpos[es] the battle between religion and lust that's been at the heart of soul music since it ceded from gospel".

My Interpretation of the Song
“Bad Religion” is an amazing emotional ballad in which Ocean is therapeutically discussing his journey with unrequited love in a taxicab confession like setting. Ocean enlist the trust of a presumed Arabic taxicab driver as he pours his heart out about a relationship he once previously had the turned to be a one sided love affair. Moments before the release of his album,, Ocean released a ‘Thank You’ note on Tumblr in which instances about his past came up, and sparked conversations about his sexuality. In short he talked about his first love, who turned out to be a guy who in turn didn’t love Ocean as he loved him. This Thank You note is what sparks the topic of unrequited love in the song.
