@GuitarKylePlays I for one am glad and amazed that these men can express their love for God through this song. Maybe if you just accepted them and stopped judging their views you might actually enjoy this song to a more whole potential.
there's an amazing anointing on Leeland's voice. I think only through real humility can the anointing flow strongly like that. more than just saying, but being that frail clay vessel through which JESUS is glorified even more.
just play around with those chords a bit and you'll get there ;)
For the Chorus x means muted, that means you put the finger you press on the e string over your A string so that it makes no sound. I hope this helps for those who couldnt figure it out, have fun
I agree...more musicians should do unplugged/acoustic/simple versions of their song. This kid's voice seems diminished somewhat in the studio recordings compared to this video.
Let us not forget whom we sing for. The music we worship God with is for His ears and not for our entertainment; our edification yes; but not for our entertainment.
There are no spectators in His kingdom, only worshipers. King Jesus is the only spectator, we all sing to Him.
Give glory to God that humans worship His holy name, don't spend your time foolishly reasoning who's popular & who's music sucks.
All is given by God and is for Him.
Redeem your time wisely, preach His kingdom my friends :)
Who are you to preach to any of us? Dont preach to me ..please. Ive been preached to for 23 years, I am not blind to what Jesus says and what glorified purpose music is supposed to have. I was simply saying I do not think that its good MUSICALLY. Not its message. And again, please keep your holier-than-thou attitude to yourself chief. Goodbye and God Bless.
i think worldwatcher was giving all of us what we needed. im sorry man but it wasnt really holier-than-thou but you dont have to be anyone special at all to preach. we are all lucky just to know Christ and as a worship leader myself, reading worldwatchers words were a great remeinder of who i serve.
I don't think anyone is trying to give you a holier-than-thou attitude. For someone who has been preached to for 23 years, and isn't blind to Jesus' teachings you don't seem to be responding or commenting kindly, gentle, constructively or out of love. I hope you've examined yourself because it seems like anytime someone is correcting you out of love you reject it. I think this song was inspired by the Spirit so i don't think its out place to judge.
The simple fact is...this sound sounds the same as at least 30 other songs I can name. Same chord oooover and oooover and ooover again. JUST BECAUSE ITS CHRISTIAN MUSIC, DOESNT MEAN IT HAS TO BE BLAND. Why cant their be christian music writers who think outside the "major chord for the ENTIRE SONG" style of writing. His music has a wonderful message yes. But, I play drums in a church, have been for over 20 years. And I am saved. But, I just simply dont like this music. I love you all.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
this is the most awful generic music. How many other songs have the exact same chord structure AND chord changes. I wish people would get the idea out of their head that christian music needs to sound EXACTLY THE SAME AS EVERY OTHER CHRISTIAN MUSIC BAND. Dont get me wrong, i love christian music, but this stuff is NOT fun to listen to. it doesn't have any dynamic or change.
Leeland is an AMAZING band. they are so on fire for God. and their music if def not generic. u obviously havnt listened to all of their music. they are pretty much the best christian group out there. lyrics are amazing, music awesome, and their heart is exactly where it should be, focused on God.
i never said anything about the lyrics or where their heart is. I am not against Christianity, because I am one. Im simply pointing out the MUSIC itself (notes,chord changes etc)is generic and if you knew ANYTHING about music, then you would know. The song sounds exactly like 30 other songs I could name.I can prove anything I say and back it up with music facts,theory I just wish people would try and do something different, just becuase its christian doesnt mean it needs to sound all the same.
umm lol i kno alot more about music than u may think . and i agree that this song's melody may not be the most original, but then again if u pay attention Leeland didnt didnt really right it himself. so u cant really judge the band based on a song he didnt write. like i said u should listen to all of their songs b4 u judge them. u cant base a band off one song. especially if the band didnt write all of it.
may i suggest if you are looking for more interesting christian music to check out Crowder's stuff is just freaking awesome, along with Shane and Shane's amazing harmonizing
and Jon foreman(of switchfoot)has some solo stuff and its quite AWESOME... =)
Oh okay, I understand what you're talking about. My sister and I had this discussion countless times before. We thought alot of Christian music had the same melody and arrangements, and that they were bland. But when you think of it, rock music slowly starts to sound like all rock music...hip-hop, punk, r&b, pop, hey even African, Arabic, Jewish and Indian all sounds the same within their genre/style. The way to get over it is find artists who you can relate to and focus foremost on the lyrics.
Please, PLEASE do not come at me with the ever-popular, new-christian, holier-than-thou attitude. I have discernment thank you. And maybe you don't know how to read all that well, but I never once said a thing wondering why they were popular. I simply said the music sucks. And musically, IT DOES. Keep your nose out of the air. Please. You're prolly the guy/girl who walks around in church, thinking about how you're on a much higher level than the rest of "us".
lol what u mean using "crowder tuning" im pretty sure david crowder didnt originate his own special tuning. guitars have been around for a long time and there are many different types of tuning that are used by multiple people.
really? jus wondering where did u find this out? i would kinda like to see for myself. not that i doubt you i jus would kinda see how he came up with tuning.

Please let us not pull another person down. Lord Jesus died for that person, let us love him/her if we love Jesus. He has paid a great price.
Let us try our hardest to obey Christ's command to love each other like He has loved us.
It's a tough call, but He gives the grace.
Jesus loves you my brother!
His Kingdom is near, don't let the devil apply his tactics of division among us, for we are not ignorant of his ways and tactics are we?
Preach His gospel, people are dying every second.
