Vampire-Weekend - Modern Vampires Of The City
“Worship You” Is A Direct Message To God. Although The Lyrics Are Hard To Understand With Ezra’s Fast-Paced Vocals It’s Clear To See While Reading Them It’s An Affirmation And Criticism Of What Likely The Christian God Would Want. On The Website Grantland Steven Hyden Noted The Reference In “Worship You” To Nick Cave And The Bad Seeds' “Red Right Hand” A Reference Friends-Of-VW Harlem Shakes Used As Well . All Of Them Get It From A Line About God’s Vengeance In Paradise Lost. “Red Right Hand” Also Appears In Cirque Du Freak The Vampire’s Assistant. The Beat Resembles A Raga. Rostam Batmanglij’s Mother Najmieh Elaborated In An Interview With The New Yorker Comparing It Instead To Music She Had Introduced To Rostam As A Child Najmieh Said She Detected A Persian Influence For The First Time On Vampire Weekend’s New Album And When I Mentioned That To Rostam He Agreed.

“Worship You” is a direct message to God. Although the lyrics are hard to understand with Ezra’s fast-paced vocals, it’s clear to see while reading them it’s an affirmation and criticism of what (likely the Christian) God would want.
On the website Grantland, Steven Hyden noted the reference in “Worship You” to Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds' “Red Right Hand” (a reference friends-of-VW Harlem Shakes used as well). All of them get it from a line about God’s vengeance in Paradise Lost. “Red Right Hand” also appears in Cirque du Freak: The Vampire’s Assistant.
The beat resembles a raga. Rostam Batmanglij’s mother Najmieh elaborated in an interview with The New Yorker, comparing it instead to music she had introduced to Rostam as a child:
Najmieh said she detected a Persian influence for the first time on Vampire Weekend’s new album, and when I mentioned that to Rostam he agreed. On the song “Worship You,” he plays a synthesizer solo that was inspired by Persian folk music and when he played the song “Young Lion” for his parents, they said it reminded them of a Persian melody, too.
