Black Strat Lyrics

heard your voice cut through the basement noise
made my way through the crowd
your guitar was screaming in the dark
your black stratocaster sound
it was holy
it felt so holy
i said holy shit

went outside, perfect midwestern night
rode my bike through the town
saw the sky look like a handful of sparkles
falling shimmering down
it was holy
it felt so holy
i said holy shit

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

This song has been stuck in my head all day. The lyrics are short and simple but the feeling behind them is so pure and strong. If you've never had one of those holy moments that make you say, "Holy shit," you've got to start doing something different with your life. The "Holy shit" line cracks me up every time I hear this; coming out of the long, drawn-out, beautifully sung "so holy," the way he talk-sings, "I said 'Holy shit' is funny and just somehow perfect at the same time.
