Weird Faith
Madi Diaz · Weird Faith
I still don't know if it was a curse or a blessing
So I pick myself up off the floor
Said, "I'm not gonna do it like I did it before"
It's the best thing, it's the best thing
When you treat it like it's magic
When you hold it not to have it
And you wanna learn to leave
And you wanna learn to stay
'Cause every love brings a lesson
And you're gonna be tested
So try to have a heart of gold
And try to have weird faith
So the whole world turned, and the sun spun around
And I got up from where I got down, and if
I know only one thing now, it's that I made it
And I sweeten up the bitterness, I let the magician keep his tricks, 'cause
Knowin' and unknowin' it is how to find it
When you're not lookin', you can treat it like it's magic
You can hold it not to have it
And you wanna learn to leave
And you wanna learn to stay
'Cause every love brings a lesson
And you're gonna be tested
So try to have a heart of gold
And try to have weird faith
I could protect myself from everybody else
Or I could wait and have a little faith
And treat it like it's magic
And hold it not to have it
And I'll wanna learn to leave
And I'll wanna learn to stay
'Cause every love brings a lesson
And I'm gonna be tested
So I'm gonna have a heart of gold
And I'm gonna have weird faith
I'm gonna have a heart of gold
I'm gonna have weird faith
Weird Faith
"Weird Faith" is the sixth studio album by American singer-songwriter Madi Diaz, released on 9 February 2024 by Anti-. It was written in Nashville and upstate New York, recorded in the latter by Diaz and Sam Cohen, and produced by Diaz, Cohen, and Konrad Snyder. The album has been described as indie rock, indie folk, and indie pop.
The title track opens with a question: "Why's it have to beat me up to prove to me that it was love?" It is a song about the strange ways love can hurt, about the confusion of a relationship that is both painful and meaningful.
The album followed Diaz's fifth studio album, History of a Feeling, and tours with Angel Olsen, Waxahatchee, and Harry Styles. It is a record that sits with doubt and still finds room for hope.
What I find striking is how the song turns pain into a question. It is not a song with easy answers; it is a song that lets the confusion breathe. That honesty is what makes it so moving.
