This metaphor of the sacredness of the music will be encountered again and again as the song unfolds- from "the sacred store" (where he'd heard the music years before) to the broken church bells, the 'Father, Son and the Holy Ghost", and even their antithesis- "Satan laughing with delight." From this point forward, whatever in couched in religious terms can be seen as referring back to this music, which in turn is a metaphor the happier innocence and faith of the 1950s.
