I heard that it was written to themselves to remind them that the fame that came with Jesus Freak and the songs that got so much secular attention was not the focus of their music. Man, do I miss them together. Still follow each one individually and still can't wrap my mind around Tait's voice meaning its a Newsboys song on the radio...
in an interview i once read they said it's about a pretend scenario in which one of the trio goes solo and hits it big with a secular radio chart topper. it was a way to remind them to never make that mistake and remember to keep the christian message at the core at all times. or some shit like that.
@shermonruler uuuuh.. okay. i really don't think Christians should be scared of the "Curse Word Boogieman" anymore. It's old, out dated, and laughable. To be so ridiculous as to think that God is offended by silly little words from the North American style English is pretty childish and belittles God's intelligence. Thanks dude...
I'm not religious and not a particularly devout Christian, but I have always loved this song and the video is one of my all-time favs. I think the harmonies are great and Kevin Max's vocals are awesome. I think it has a certain 80's quality.
I like the aspect of having each of the members of dc Talk on the hospital bed in turn as the video progresses. It shows that this sort of situation could happen with anyone.
This song hit the tv sets of the uk for weeks on end atleast 3 times a day on channel "the box" brilliant track and i think you lot are totally correct in your assumpitions as to whom this is about but i love how it can be related something in every persons life.
anyone else notice the patient has an ET tube but, no one is breathing for him? Its like whats the point. I wonder how they put those in for TV anyway. I mean it cant really be in that would be the most uncomfortable thing ever and probably dangerous too.
we know the music from dc talk... we love it... do you know where they sleep or where they pay their bills... hhhhmmmm?!? do you? stop it! but with a smile... j/k but honestly, the music may be nice but getting to know some one is better... dc talk is a great band!
Siempre escuche esta musica cuando estaba con mis amigos juntos a pesar que no la entendiamos pero deveras que me encanta Ahora que la escucho me hace recordarme mas de Dios Puesto que sin es una verdadera banda de musica cristiana...
Not a hundred percent on this but im guessing its a symbol of where glamour and the highlife will get you. while he may have been popular before he died, it meant nothing to God and eternity. That would explain the dancers and dancing girls. much of what happened to him was done so through earthly and fleshly desires.
Anyway...my absolute favorite band of all time!! Wish they would get back together and go on tour! If it was one city here in the U.S., I would fly there in a heartbeat!!
I've always just heard that it was about an imaginary fourth member of the band, and what it would be like if the fourth band member had sold out and starting doing mainstream music, instead of continuing to spread the Christian message. As far as I know, Marilyn Manson never did Christian music, so he wouldn't fall in that category.
they would have soooo many people at their concert if they got together for a final tour! They would sell out in every state. I stake my life on it. I know where I am going anyway.
There was never a fourth member! Just people who played instruments. And they themselves said that it was inspired by the question "what if one of us left." that's why they all take a turn dying in the video.
i miss them. they were my childhood *wistful sigh*
@ae2alyssa me too, i can't listen to a dc talk song and not be nostalgic for my childhood, i started listening to the "Jesus Freak" album in third grade and didnt stop until they broke up, good days
Great song ...one of the best groups of all time! Wish they'd get back together again. I think this song is supposed to be about M. Manson...heard that a few years ago.
I'd never wanna "go" with you! Honestly! We can "hi/...'hit a few beats'... bye", however... I, too, am more conscientious of my faith! kudos! DcTalk!! LOVELIKE'EM!!!
Another story is that one of the guys (if not all of them) was friends with Marylin Manson back in the day. So this song is just about how Manson used to be Christian and stuff and now he's not. So this song could just have a double meaning...like this was just the story that inspired it but it could at the same time be about Christian bands that sell out. Just a theoory based on what I've read/heard
If you look at this song literally, this song is about a fictional ex- fourth member of DC Talk. This song is most defintately not predicting Micheal Jackson's death, but when you look at it metaphorically, relatively refers to his life and the many lives of secular musicians. It refers to people who decide to live a good life now instead of later in heaven with Jesus. It seems like a good decision now, but will hurt you in the long run.
this video came out when i was in JUNIOR HIGH!! the song was released in 1998 (dctalk were way ahead of their time musically...i thought they were so heavy back then, but i don't consider this heavy now)
...im sorry, but I don't think they can tell the future of michael jackson's death, it was over 10 years ago. its got a message to maybe some other person who they knew in the industry who died.
...the song always confused me though if they believed in once saved always saved doctrine or not.
As far as the last half of your comment goes, you may be correct, I honestly do not know. However this video has nothing to do with Michael Jackson. The "guys with the hollywood glasses" are (and if you look closely all three band members become/are that guy) supposed to be a fourth member of the band who left DC Talk for riches and fame in a secular career. Nothing more, nothing less.
That used too be true...not anymore...Switchfoot, Jars of Clay and then the hard rock side of the house they are usually better then many mainstream bands: Demon Hunter, Project 96, Red...to name a few....
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
No way...bands like The 77s and The Choir blow bands like dc Talk and Third Day out of the water. Kevin from dc Talk would even confirm this. Third Day are boring, nothing more than a derivative of Hootie and the Blowfish.
The song's about a fictitious artist/ band. The message is that there are some out there (even in Christian genre) that will change their approach in the music business and write songs that sell better. Things that are typically labeled as "sin" usually sell better in the music business...sex, drugs, living for oneself...all these things make popular songs..to sing about self denial doesn't always sell records...lol DC Talk just wants to encourage other Christian bands to stay the course
What about Ananias and Sapphira? They dropped dead after lying to the Holy Spirit. Or what about the death of Herod, who was eaten by worms after giving glory to himself and not to God? Doesn't sound like God has changed. He's God, and He apparently has the right to judge and take someone out, if necessary. I have no problem with that.
The ending is like High School musical meets ER. lmao. Interesting idea to have them play the fallen rocker than have someone else. I probably would of picked Mark Stuart to play the dead rocker if not dc Talk and end it where Carman as Jesus takes him to Heaven. lol
I used to hate this music video. I didn't understand it when I was younger, like 8, and I cried so much because I thought they actually died. Yeah.... so I didn't watch it for about 8 more years after that. Now I'm fine when I watch it, but the song always triggers that memory.
It's a good song, though, and DC Talk was absolutely amazing when they were together!!!
It has been such a long time since I watched this video. dc talk helped change my life. It's so sad that such an amazing creative force like dc talk was put on the shelf. I no longer have much hope that dc talk will ever get back together. Now that Michael Tait joined the Newsboys, I think we can safely say dc talk is definitely no more. What a shame
Hilarious this song is about selling out and yet DC Talk were probably some of the biggest sellouts in christian music. Ever hear the song "I Love Rap Music"? nirvana hits and no more rap for them. They might not have sold out outright on the whole "Christianity" angle of their music, but they sure did musically.
fair enough, and to be honest I loved the change when i was 11/12 years old. Jesus Freak was a great album, but now that I'm a bit older it does seem pretty strange that they had such a dramatic change.
they are on hiatus.. its different.. it means they MIGHT start the group up agian but they do still help each other out and sing is a few of each others songs which shows us that they are still good friends.
the men in suits.. who i am guessing are layers? The dance they are doing looks like a jewish dance that I have seen on tv.. are they steryo-typing or am I just thinking way to much? I love this song either way though, used to listen to it over and over while at visiting the cabin with my best friend before we graduated and she moved to france.
I thought that the guy in the hospital was a representation of him giving himself over to sin. When the four men come in, he is dead, completely given over to sin. Then I thought the four guys represented demons celebrating his turning from God. I figure the ladies represents Holly Wood (I'm told that back then there were Holly Wood movies had women dress like that and dance.)
apparently this song came from them talking as a band about what it would be like if one of their members left the band and sold out. its about a fictitious band/person, not specifically jars of clay.
they used christian music to get heard of and left it and went to be regular music and soo this is about them but i think there back in christian music
yes this is the dc talk song i've been searching for!!! i knew the chorus part goes but i dunno the title of it and so now i've found it im so happy!!!! AWESOME SONG!
well my english is not good at all but i can say this this grp was the best *bendicion* for my life* lastima que se separaron but im still LF new cristian rock grps like POD, creed mmm im not totaly sure about that grp and "alter bridge" if someone know plz help me with that and god bls u
When they broke up Micheal Tait stated, "our musical differences are too great." well, Toby is the greatest christian pop artist, Kevin had the beatiful vibrato voice, and Micheal had a great voice for God, Toby kept the beat, Kevin the soul, and Micheal the faith and harmony, together they were the single greatest Christian band of ALL TIME!
Actually The long blonned one wanted a bigger part and Toby and The African American member didnt agree with that and The African American found theyre own careers so yeah your half right
They didn't break up in the traditional sense. They went solo 'DC Talk Solo.' They each have different callings in music and can reach more souls this way.
well i am old enough to remember when the song came out and it was released about the time when micheal english quit the gospel business and went top 40.
In the Supernatural special feature video mentions this song. Basically the three members had a talk about what would have happened if one of them chose to leave the christian music industry and fall into mainstream. This song basically states that even if one of them will go, the other two will be sad and try they best to stop it, but will not follow him to mainstream.
This was the best I could come up with: They're singing to each other. The song is saying goodbye if any of them ever left the christian music industry to be popular in mainstream music.
I'm not sure thats wat it means but I actually got something.
well there used to be a fourth member of dc talk back before they became famous. i think this is about him. i dont remember his name but someone i know went to college at liberty university with all the band members and he was in the dorm next door to toby mac's
well me and like 20,000 other people. Got one better....Mike graduated from my HS and Toby went to one of our semi-rival schools. They both grew up in DC area, Toby VA and Mike MD.
I'm going to find out What this song means... It's kinda funny that this is my favorite band and my second favorite song and i still don't know what it means
I really don't think it's about toby mac when he leaves And the big reason for that is well i have 2 reason one is HE'S still singing in this song and it wasn't on there last album which would be kinda weird if they talked about that and made another album
haha i know, but i knew toby mac before dc talk, and i was like whoah whats with the hate, but i wanna know what this song is about. toby rocks though he did good after.
One of the greatest music videos ever to one of the greatest bands of all time. Man I miss when these guys still sang together. NO one else has their sound.
I heard that it was written to themselves to remind them that the fame that came with Jesus Freak and the songs that got so much secular attention was not the focus of their music. Man, do I miss them together. Still follow each one individually and still can't wrap my mind around Tait's voice meaning its a Newsboys song on the radio...

apparently this song came from them talking as a band about what it would be like if one of their members left the band and sold out. its about a fictitious band/person, not specifically jars of clay.

When they broke up Micheal Tait stated, "our musical differences are too great." well, Toby is the greatest christian pop artist, Kevin had the beatiful vibrato voice, and Micheal had a great voice for God, Toby kept the beat, Kevin the soul, and Micheal the faith and harmony, together they were the single greatest Christian band of ALL TIME!

Actually The long blonned one wanted a bigger part and Toby and The African American member didnt agree with that and The African American found theyre own careers so yeah your half right
GOD BLESS!

They didn't break up in the traditional sense. They went solo 'DC Talk Solo.' They each have different callings in music and can reach more souls this way.
God Bless their endeavors for Him

According to the BAND, this is a song based no a FICTIONAL band member. I have all of dc Talk's records, and it's always been just the 3 guys.
You guys really need to check your facts before posting.

In the Supernatural special feature video mentions this song. Basically the three members had a talk about what would have happened if one of them chose to leave the christian music industry and fall into mainstream. This song basically states that even if one of them will go, the other two will be sad and try they best to stop it, but will not follow him to mainstream.
mangalover147 2 years ago 2
This was the best I could come up with: They're singing to each other. The song is saying goodbye if any of them ever left the christian music industry to be popular in mainstream music.
I'm not sure thats wat it means but I actually got something.
lostinhair1234 2 years ago 2
well there used to be a fourth member of dc talk back before they became famous. i think this is about him. i dont remember his name but someone i know went to college at liberty university with all the band members and he was in the dorm next door to toby mac's
thewayshefeels18 2 years ago
was at Liberty with them; same three from beginning to endl this is about a FICTIONAL fourth member; tongue in cheek
emoney7337 2 years ago 2
oh okay. well thanks for clearing that up.
thewayshefeels18 2 years ago
wow. you went to Liberty College with them??
GuitarZero95 2 years ago
well me and like 20,000 other people. Got one better....Mike graduated from my HS and Toby went to one of our semi-rival schools. They both grew up in DC area, Toby VA and Mike MD.

zackeriah87 2 years ago
No way! Crazy stuff, that. Didn't know that. Although I live under a rock in certain areas that all I know of Limp Biscut is what genre he sings.
DeLakut 2 years ago
I really don't think it's about toby mac when he leaves And the big reason for that is well i have 2 reason one is HE'S still singing in this song and it wasn't on there last album which would be kinda weird if they talked about that and made another album
Thejesusfreak0 2 years ago
haha i know, but i knew toby mac before dc talk, and i was like whoah whats with the hate, but i wanna know what this song is about. toby rocks though he did good after.
