Benjamin Del Shreve and his band just finished a full length record this October and are scheduled to release sometime this Spring. The new music is all about good times and so are the shows. "Party Rock" is about all that one could say about the new music, while the lyrics pick up right where the other records left off in that they are reaching in a poetic way to discover more beauty and love for life, God, and others.

God Is A Dancer
Benjamin del Shreve Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Man I dance so much these days that I just don′t know
I never met you
I was busy dancing with you
I took a bow to you sarcastically
When you laughed I took it as yes sir you can have this dance
I never met you
I was busy dancing with you
I dipped you
At the end of the song
I never met you
I was busy dancing with you
God is a dancer too
All the things that make up you and me
Flutter with the kick drum come flutter like a butterfly with me now
I never met you
I was busy dancing with you
Tell me baby tell me honest now
Do you love love do you hate hate isn't it all about love some how
I never met you
I was busy dancing with you
I shook my head around some
I dipped you at the end of the song
I never met you
I was busy dancing with you
God is a dancer too
One two
Three four
I shook my head around some
I dipped you at the end of the song
I never met you
I was busy dancing with you
I shook my head around some
I dipped you at the end of the song
I never met you
I was busy dancing with you
God is a dancer too
I never met you
I was busy dancin dancin
I never met you
I was busy dancing with you
God is a dancer too
The lyrics to Benjamin del Shreve's song "God is a Dancer" tell a story of two strangers who connect through the art of dance. The singer of the song is unsure if he met this person in Helsinki or Orlando, but he recalls dancing with them so much that he cannot remember. The phrase "I never met you, I was busy dancing with you" repeats throughout the song, emphasizing that their connection was purely through the act of dancing. The singer describes how he and the mystery person interacted through movements, such as dipping and shaking their heads, and the connection culminates in a bow at the end of the song.
The mention of God as a dancer in the chorus suggests a deeper meaning to the lyrics. The idea that God is a dancer implies that the divine is present in the acts of movement and expression, as well as in the connection between individuals. The lyric "All the things that make up you and me, Flutter with the kick drum come flutter like a butterfly with me now" implies that dance can be a transcendent experience that brings people together and allows them to connect with something greater than themselves.
