I think it is Secular Humanism because all the value is placed in music. There is actually never any reference that they believe in God just mentions do you believe and is he really there?
1. God & the Universe- “And do you have faith in God above”, “And the three men I admire most: The Father, Son, and the Holy Ghost, they caught the last train for the coast”. Makes the assumption that their is no God and that he left on the last train.
2. Humanity & Identify- “But something touched me deep inside”, “That I could make those people dance”. Showing only the music is what matters.
3. Conflict & Suffering- “I was a lonely teenage broncin’ buck”, “Bad news on the doorstep”. Even the music shows a lot of suffering especially the reference when the music ends so does life.
4. Hope & Redemption- “How that music used to make me smile”, “We all got up to dance”. The only hope is that the music will last forever and make life better.
5. Values- “they’d be happy for a while”, “Can music save your mortal soul”. That is values music over anything else in life to provide happiness.
6. Truth & Reality- “I saw satan laughing with delight”, “them good old boys were drinkin’ whiskey and rye”. The truth was satan is happy when all you do is rely on music and there is nothing better to do with your life than just drink and listen to music.
