“I Found God” by Mainland – A Song Feature

     The members of Mainland met in New York City, adopted a California-related name, and perhaps predictably relocated to Los Angeles. They are Jordan Topf (vocals, guitar), Corey Mullee (guitar, synth), and Alex Pitta (bass). Topf’s mother was raised in California and would talk about still missing the “mainland.”

     Mainland’s single “I Found God” has a religion-based title and contains lyrics that reference religion (“holy water,” “preaching to the choir,”” and “walking on water”). However, the song is about the experience of discovery the body of a significant other.

Lyrics of “I Found God” by Mainland
Look my way, I can see your reflection
Heat from the floor, I can feel your intentions
Holy water, let me drink your perfection
Hey girl do I know your name?

Two years gone now, we're breathing the fire
You and I, we divide our desire
Sheets fly fast, no one preaching to the choir
Hey girl now you know my name

Wherever you run, wherever you go
I, I want you alone, I need you to know

That I found God
In your body, body, body
I found love
With somebody, body, body, yeah
And every single day we'll be walking on water, water together
Cause I found God
In your body, body, body, yeah

You're my queen, I'm the king at the altar
Everything that you need I can offer
Hallelujah may the love not falter
Hey girl let me hear you sing

I want you alone
I need you to know

That I found God
In your body, body, body
I found love
With somebody, body, body, yeah
And every single day we'll be walking on water, water together
Cause I found God
In your body, body, body, yeah

Surrender my heart
Surrender myself
We do it for glory
Time will tell
Surrender your heart
Surrender yourself
We do it for glory
Time will tell

Cause I found God
In your body, body, body
I found love
With somebody, body, body
I found God
In your body, body, body
I found love
With somebody, body, body, yeah
Cause I found God
In your body, body, body, yeah
