Looping State of Mind
The Field Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Needless to say I was feeling mighty fine
The Sun was shining and the birds would sing
Then at 12 noon I heard some church bells ring
I've got that apostolic holy ghost revival state of mind
I've got that apostolic holy ghost revival state of mind
A feeling that I can't explain, it's one of a kind
Shouting and praising like they don't have a care
I've got that apostolic holy ghost revival state of mind
Satan can't stand it cause he knows who's gonna win
He knows he's lost a soul when they turn from sing
He's starting to tremble, he's starting to quake
We've got the devil in a bind
With that apostolic holy ghost revival state of mind
I've got that apostolic holy ghost revival state of mind
A feeling that you can't explain, it's one of a kind
People at the altar hands raised in the air
Shouting and praising like they don't have a care
I've got that apostolic holy ghost revival state of mind
I've got that apostolic holy ghost revival state of mind
I've got that apostolic holy ghost revival state of mind

Nicolas Markos it has been proven that listening to music improves marathon performance. In France listen to music during a marathon is considered doping . Thus, mp3 players were banned for marathons. All this proves that listening to music improves performance , including concentration .
