Anberlin - Paperthin Hymn (Acoustic) [Live]

[123arrrggggg]

Rockawesome song.

[Gdayguy36]

Amazing song. Great performance.

[Harpuia7]

Lol... Check out atomicfriendo's favorites.... Every single one of them unimaginative, repetive songs with usually unintelligible lyrics. I'd say he's just not used to hearing something that requires any real musical ability.

[atomicfriendo]

@Harpuia7 anberlin sucks :)-~

[PredatorySongbird]

I prefer this song acoustic, as it sounds better to me with his voice.

[yesterdaysfuture78]

this song is the shizz anberlin is awesome!!!

[RhymesWithMorgan]

Absolutely...amazing. I LOVE STEPHEN CHRISTIAN. He is my hero. <3

[izadelirious]

love it sounds cool this song on acoustic

[jesusthecowboy]

Sounds pretty good acoustic

[flyersgirl929]

<3 this song!!! amazing acoustic!!!

anberlin is the best band ever!!!!

[xxLunaticSlavexx]

good^^

[misschica51]

I love how Stephen closes his eyes while he sings. It's like he put so much emotion into the song.

[Kamownevery1]

they got perfect beat. no doubt!

[detorio]

such an ace song!

ANBERLIN are uber awsome

:)

[atomicfriendo]

Horrible...this band is HORRIBLE!

[OneGirlRevie]

u suck

[atomicfriendo]

I suck because I think this song is terrible? Wow, I'd expected immaturity form people like you but but that's just being shallow. Not cool.

[OneGirlRevie]

well it's not just me, cuz apparently at least 9 other people totally disagree with you. and you suck because you have the audacity to post a comment like that on a video that tons of anberlin fans are gonna watch. so you're just asking for it.

[atomicfriendo]

Dude, give your head a shake. I can comment how I see fit. In fact, anyone can. Its their right! This isn't a fan site and these are no warning signs saying "only positive comments allowed". If you have a problem with that, I suggest you stay the heck off of U-tube!

[OneGirlRevie]

all i'm saying is you're asking for it, saying they're horrible. gosh, if they're so horrible why even watch one of their vids?

[atomicfriendo]

Again, if you think I'm asking for it then that's a problem you have. You can dissagree with my comment and you have every right, but saying that I suck is just childish, immature and ignorant. And BTW, if I had not watch the video, how would I know that I didn't like it? You need to really grow up here.

[atomicfriendo]

Hey assurferForLife137 do you mean immature ignorant little kids like you who can't spell their way out of a wet paper bag?

[atomicfriendo]

ok assurferForLife137, you're just a little twirp right? I bet you get slapped around the playground with a mouth like that. I feel kinda sorry for you.. gaahhh...lol

[SurferForLife137]

haha ya for sure. sorry but im not the one arguing with a 14 yearold :]

[atomicfriendo]

Dude, I'm not arguing with you and I don't care how old you are. Just shut up already!

[kyleirl]

I suppose the best thing to do would be do stop replying to his comments. Considering you hate the song, perhaps even the band, don't bother replying to any comments. It is just a waste of your time and more importantly ours. Your incessant flow of prater is giving me a bloody nasty headache.

[atomicfriendo]

hahahaha...kyleirl talk about wasting time, it probably took you 12 hours to think that one up! And what did you get out of it? A nasty headache?

[combatcommando]

i think your a fag because this guy has the best voice ive ever heard and if you think this song is terrible then suck it!!!!

[atomicfriendo]

combatcommando, dude? I'm a fag because because I think this guy can't sing? Well, I'd expect a comment like that for a shitiot like yourself. Clean out yer funkin' ears douchbag!

[combatcommando]

Jesus loves you!!!

[combatcommando]

jesus loves you!!!!!!!

[billybobjoe2345678]

ur minds not right if u think this is bad

[atomicfriendo]

billybobjoe2345678 what are you drunk? This is horrible!!

[SurferForLife137]

screw u buddy. ur on crack

hahahaha.

seriously...theyre great. soo yaa.

[leytzer]

cool

[kahryuzaki]

♥

[kiiiiiidu]

love,love,love,loooveee them !

[Panda94521]

i absolutely love them

[furubafangurl]

his voice is freakin amazing! x33 <3

[Mikli7]

I saw them at Warped Tour during the summer before I even knew who they were. And I just fell in love with their music. I'd forgotten the band name for a while though, unfortunately. But it just came back to me, luckily. :] Such an amazing band.

[psmgamer]

I saw them as well at Selma, Tx at Warped and just liked their performance so much. You can really feel the energy in Christian's voice when he sings. He has such an amazing voice that I wish he would put out a solo album.

[Mikli7]

I'm simply happy that I can hear his voice at all. It's wonderful. :]

[mylittledecoy77]

anberlin = awsome

[HIMkidHIM]

Haha, I love the air drums at 1:23. It honestly is something I do all the time.

[BassKindOfGuy]

You must be a shitty air drummer then hm? All he did was wave his hand around for a second :P

[anberlinfan101]

What's your problem dude?

[BassKindOfGuy]

Nothing, I was kidding? What's yours?

[GimbobSquarepants]

AMAZING XD I love stephen :)

[billabob56789]

november second! love this band!

[allieSTUNNA]

I'M SEEING THEM IN 27 DAYS!!!!

I am soooo excited.

[jmsjmsjms1]

I'm going to their show in November but I'm also going to a showing in park avenue.  I'm so excited

[mcr0child]

Seein them in November!! CAN'T WAIT!!!! Anberlin = Love

[rossbucklin]

i cant wait to see them again October 3rd

[balou1081]

Great =)

[didoma73]

I love this song. It's cool how they have a new cd like a year later after this one.

[DNDelli]

"[My faith] affects every single aspect of my life, but I'm not a preacher, I'm an entertainer."

-Stephen Christian

PS: I think it is cool that they are constantly labled a Christian band, and Stephen's last name is Christian. (Just a funny coincidence)

Paperthin Hymn is by far their best song.

[DNDelli]

They are not a Christian band, their songs just have Christian Themes. Here are some quotes from Stephen:

"I think we're categorized like that a lot because we're on Tooth & Nail Records, which, years ago, was known as a Christian label and never lost that reputation. I don't care who listens to our records. If it helps people in whatever circumstances they're in, that's amazing, but I definitely don't classify us as a Christian band."

-Stephen Christian

[OJ4switchfoot]

i do listen to them.

i have every single one of their cds.

i even cracked and listened to New Surrender when it leaked.

and they may be christians, as people, but does that make them a christian band? and if i'm not correct, Christian (their new guitarist) is an atheist.

[jennxisxradd]

where did you get the leak of new surrender? i can't find it.

[khalyd123]

BUY IT

[RustyArrow]

I saw them last week in Carson, CA for the last day of Vans Warped tour. They were AMAZING. They are one of my favorite bands ever. I LOVE ANBERLIN!!!

[Zer0small]

The best band ever!

I wish I had Stephen's voice. It is just amazing.

[5xsuperx5]

yeah Anberlin is christian i hear them all the time on christian rock channel there one of my fav band

[DaNumberOneFan]

excellent

[fredthouse]

Stellar Preformance

[bearcatfan91]

The reason they sound better here is because they are focusing on singing instead of jumping up and down and going crazy. And yeah, I am pretty sure they are Christians......so keep walking the Christian road Anberlin.

[shutmeoutkutless]

Yes, Anberlin is Christian I watch them all the time on Gospel Music Channel, along with 39 other bands I listen to -_-

[khalyd123]

@shutmeoutkutless god no...haha get it? but seriously, they aren't. well, according to stephen they aren't, you could not believe him.

[khalyd123]

@shutmeoutkutless god no...haha get it? but seriously, they aren't. well, according to stephen they aren't, you could not believe him.

[cardsdowngunsdrawn]

this is prally the best i've heard of a live recording where the crowd didn't suck and completely ruin the song

[Zeldafoo9]

wow! they sound really good in this recording, I was just listening to another live performance and it sucked, but this is realy good!

[Swwab]

I had the same though :P

[seanyyyyy]

actually they are christians, or at least i know forsure stephen is

he goes on missionary trips to third world countries when hes not on tour sometimes

[jayrawk11]

Oh Yeh!! Go Anberlin!! Keep rocking 4 Christ!!

[hansomblirgalensnart]

who the fuck cares if they're christian?

[cardsdowngunsdrawn]

christians maybe . . . ? idk that's just a shot in the dark

[ItachiundSasuke]

They're cristian, yes.

[cardsdowngunsdrawn]

yeah i was deff being sarcastic lol

[OJ4switchfoot]

no.

they're on a record label that USED TO consider themselves a christian record label, but they are most certainly not a christian band.

why is it that whenever a video is posted about Switchfoot, Anberlin, Relient K, The Classic Crime, Underoath, etc. someone has to religion up? can't everyone just ditch the labels and just listen to the music please?

[ItachiundSasuke]

They are still Christian. If you listen to any of the other songs, you'll realize that.

[imbarabbit]

I don't care if they're christians.. who do ? o.O

Why did this comment get so many downrates?

[isaax05]

i care

[redforthosewhovebled]

great

[chasedolan]

YOU WATERING WATERHEADS

[suemaz7]

I'm not gonna care about the other comments. I'm just gonna say...

"ANBERLIN iS AWESOME!!!!!"

[jalmonte1024]

its like, they arent a christian band. the members are christian, though. think about it, being christian should reflect on everything you do in your life, including your music, if youre in a band. so putting a label just so people can know your a christian makes it known that you are probably not making your faith a reflection of who you are. in the end, all of those bands from tooth and nail and other labels are pretty awesome.

[nty92]

i like your thoughts,

i agree, being a christian should reflect everything we do in life, from school, to work, to being in a band,

and im not right into the politics of labels etc, but a band should have the right and freedom to sing about what they want, whether it be appealing to secular or christian audiences. so i think they're doing a good job at what they do, making it good for both, and they dont let their standards slip/

[SilenceInBlckAndWht]

they are not christian. thier record company used to have a rep as being chrsitian but they r trying to outgrow it, but people just see it as christian and it isn't. these r just guys singing about life, it's not religeous at all.

[sjeffreydespain]

Yeah, they were labeled as christian rock because their record label "tooth and nail" primarily deals with christian bands.However, this song does contain the verse "When life is in discord Praise ye the lord" The memebers also are professed christians.

[oralphie]

actually all of the bands under tooth and nail call themselves christian except for the classic crime but they have spiritual lyrics and yes this is a christian band just listen to a whisper and a clamor duh

[jalmonte1024]

actually, anberlin said it themselves that they arent a christian band. all the members are christian, and usually bands that have christian members end up writing lyrics influenced by their faith. some are more directly referencing God, others not as much. either way, they are influenced by their faith.

[mr7hankey]

why do people ven say they are christian, where do you get god and jesus out of any of this?

they could be christian doesn't mean the sing about it

[v8power209]

" when life is in discourse praise ye the lord" hmm where did they get god out of this haha dumbass

[woogiepooh1995]

christian

[analulu815]

how can you talk like that when anberlin is christian?

kinda wrong.

[JenJen12]

lol not really,

they've cursed before?

lol

[ninaxpants]

no they havent... they're a christian band.

[JenJen12]

no actually, their not a christian band.

and yes they have cursed before.

little miss christian

[filipino145]

o.o anberlin is christian o.o

[timnovinger]

Just thought I'd say that just because a person cusses, that doesn't mean they aren't a Christian

[JenJen12]

THANK YOU TIM

[kyleirl]

I agree.

Everyone curses in their own way. Cursing is just a mean of expressing anger. For example the word "water", if it did not have a meaning already, could be made into a curse word. If enough people said "water you" :)

[BACHINA123]

that was the biggest pile of shit ive ever read on youtube. congrats.

[satthewmhaun]

water you, fuckface. =[

[purplehorse70]
