Review: "Bad Religion" by Frank Ocean

I've been wanting to review Frank Ocean's "Bad Religion" since it came out in July.  The talented singer-songwriter's debut album, channel ORANGE, is a good album, but the real standout is "Bad Religion".  The song is tragic and passionate, as Frank sings with pain in his voice and soul in his heart.  A church organ moans while Frank sings "Taxi driver, I swear I've go three lives / Balanced on my head like steak knives / I can't tell you the truth about my disguise / I can trust no one."  The song follows Frank as he sings to his taxi driver, telling him the woes of his life and asking him to "Outrun the demons, could ya".  The song projects Frank's innermost thoughs and feelings of grief.  You can nearly feel his pain when listening to this song (in a good way).  Listen for yourself below, a d please comment with your opinion!
