  • The beauty of a song of a this is that if you are religious and want to treat it as a religious meaning, you can. And if you don't see a religious subtext, then to you it can be a song about staying true to yourself.

    Now please, people. Ssh.

  • I been thinking ever day...what i'm i doing wrong. i love god, but i don't do what he sid.

    Then one night i heard this song....it made me cry: just hearing every single word of it.

    I love god no matter what...But this song I so awesome!!!! I LOVE IT SO MUCH!! x3

  • I remember when OAR was good.... :(

  • the classics....their sound has changed a lot...i was listening to i feel home earlier tonight, nothing makes me feel like that song does.

  • the vid doesn't really work for looking at a music video through the "marxist lens" cuz its just words... haha, but i love this song!

  • Clipping my headphones! Such a good beat.

  • I m an muslim and I love this song btw the singer did not spicify wat type of choir

  • This song seems much more like a song about accepting the past, and still living for today, Not so much about anything religion.

  • You won't go to heaven if you can't get in...

    And even if you wanted to, you won't !

    Such retarded lyrics -_- Hate this song ! Had to tell...

  • religion is like a penis, everyone thinks their's is the greatest and nobody likes having someone else's shoved down their throat

  • This is everything Born This Way should have been; a song of being assured of one's own identity regardless of religion instead of unabashed famewhoring.

  • i love this song because i was singing it to my girlfriend and she love it after i sang of our break up. YEAH!!!

  • I LOVE THIS SONG!!!

  • ah lovin it cool track

  • my english teacher's music playlist brought me here

  • Everyone has a different oppinion about this song (and the rest of life) so there's no wrong or right it's a audio media so what he ment and what it means to you can be completely different, don't let others ruin the song for you.

  • HAHA this guy doesn't wanna go to Heaven if he can't get in??? I can imagine that conversation...

    God- depart from me

    Guy- I don't wanna go to heaven anyways

    God- You're going to hell

    Guy- o wait wat

  • @samhugh08 I sure you take a lot of sadistic pleasure in believing that your "loving" god tortures people for no justifiable reason.

  • @MrRi3m4nn If you had known anything about our loving GOD as Christains you'd come to the understanding that it isn't OUR loving GOD that tortures his own people (human kind). It is the one who deceived him and fell from the right hand of his kind kingdom, throne and grace (Lucifer), that tortures GOD's loved ones (His creation human kind). You and I are the beautiful creation of the Lord most high and He ( the LORD) Wishes to preserve us in his eternal kingdom.Lucifer attacks our free will :)

  • @mudskeeter101 I was raised as a christian, so I know more than enough about your god. In fact I know that the entire theological theory of christianity is logically inconsistent, in several ways, and is therefore utterly worthless as a description of reality. Given this fact, I see no reason to try to convince you of the blatantly unloving nature of your god.

  • @MrRi3m4nn So are you agnostic or atheist?

  • @mudskeeter101 I suppose I'm agnostic because I don't deny the possibility of a deistic god, but I am a de facto atheist with respect to the judeo-christian god.

  • I too am a Christian; and this song is not bashing on religion. People only want to be accepted for who they are. I know that there are some people that, if what they truly believe- segregation, hate, ridiculous standards that no one can live up to, etc- is what is going to get me into heaven: I'd rather go to hell. And- I'd rather spend an eternity in Hell, with people who let me believe what I believe, than spend eternity in Heaven with people that were pricks on Earth.

  • Dudes SHUT UP its music live by it enjoy it If you hate the music why did ya click it?

  • wtf guys, for real @orcinus ? This song is not religious,heaven is a metaphor for paradise. "Looks like heaven in the streets"? He's singing about how everyone seems happy and perfect, but he doesn't to be happy if he can't be himself.

  • they sound like train to me for some reason

  • @omari86 agreed, reminds me of "shake up the happiness"

  • @Tartarus512 so true, both songs are just feel good songs about being proud of who you are

  • SHUT UP AND ENJOY THE MUSIC 

  • CAN WE SHUT UP ABOUT PRO-PELIGION AND ANTI-RELIGION AND JUST ENJOY THE MUSIC..... SERIOUSLY ITS JUST STUPID

  • i don't wanna go to heaven cuz there's no such thing

  • I'm a christian. But what does this matter? I freakin' love this song. People who put this song down need to realize. Maybe cause of YOU and you "shoving" your religion down his throat brought him to write a song like this. People, shut up and let people be. If they're happy they way they are.. you can't change that! Regardless!

  • love it

    

  • stupid words

  • hes saying. if u dont want him he doesnt want u

  • <3

  • one of the best songs in the world

  • This song isn't pro-religion or anti-religion. All he is saying is he is proud of who he is and he isn't changing for anyone.

  • @sallyed66 Amen!!!!

  • This song is  so clean!!..I loVE It! :)

  • that poor, poor, replay button....

  • its not about religion at all. Heaven is just a metaphor for something you really want be in, but maybe you aren't welcome, like a party or a club or clique. Why would you spend all of your time trying to get in when you can be happy on your own.

  • this song is not about religions. its about how you don't have to be in organized religion to go to heaven because God will judge you according to who you are!

  • Please stfu about religion and listen to the song... It's about doing things the way you want just listen.

  • If you come on here, come hear to listen to music. Not bash about religion.:/

  • wtf is the meaning of choir?

  • chorus.. -.- ur either two,or need to hit the books =P

  • @Bren225Bren Hey buddy. Where's your song that got this many hits, huh? Oh that's right, you don't have one. And this is only on the side channel the others are on the Vivo. Do you have a Vivo?... Didn't think so...

  • Alright..so..ur point is..? I like a song,i stick up for it,and u know youtube isnt all of the views in the world kid..it's a good song,dont like it,leave.

  • YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!!  Freakin' Awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Meh..

  • THIS IS TERRIBLE

  • pfft...dont think u have one thumps because somebody agrees,..that was me,it was a mistake >_>,besides the point..ur obviously just a die hard religious person that cant accept good music,then again judging on the way ur talk ur probably just some odd pervert..

  • @Bren225Bren WHAT YOU SAY IS SIMPLY UNACCEPTABLE

  • What i say is the truth..this-song-is-perfection­.

  • @Bren225Bren I respect your thoughts but this song is nowhere near decent.

  • Then why r u here? If u dont like it dont come on here and make arguements about it with 12 year olds.. =l

  • @Bren225Bren you can't be serious

  • @dorlinogullari Religion is deadly.

  • @drweird656 I think its obvious that you're wrong, I won't even try to reason with you

  • @dorlinogullari It's not? What about the Holocaust? How Hitler killed millions because they were JEWISH, or how about whats going on in the middle east because of MINOR differences in religion. If you're going to bring a debate to the table at least serve us some facts, not just your opinion.

  • @drweird656 hahaha you can't be serious. this doesn't make any sense.

  • @drweird656 This vid is about if you cant get in a place that you want to go, you go to another place.

  • Great tune .... BUT, to get to Heaven you need only accept the git of life from Jesus!

  • Dislikers does not know where HEAVEN is. :_

  • JUST AMAZING! CANT FIND NOTHING ELSE TO SAY FOR THIS SONG....Iwas watching Steve Jobs "documetal"...AND I HEARD THIS!...this is what I can call "real music"

  • Comment removed

  • also why do u guys not it

    ithe meaning of the song is just as much christin as it is not

    so says I and rest of the educated people of the world

    beauty is in the eye of the beholder

  • u know something

    i dont care what they did if they make good music then they're awesome

  • I'm a Christian and I love this song.

  • lol i love this song :P

    IDC IF YOU DONT

  • just listen this fraking good song, and stop making youtube-rap-without-rap-battle­!

  • Is this a christian song? Someone please answer.

  • @PearlPoopSmellsGood

    This is the opposite of a Christian song. And I love that he had the audacity to tell all the religious fanatics off.

  • @orcinus74 Well you obviously don't believe in God.. But thanks a lot for the response :)

  • @PearlPoopSmellsGood

    I fail to see how my religious views got brought into your response and how they are relevant to my ability to answer your question as to whether or not this is a christian song.

  • @orcinus74

    I feel like heaven is more used as a metaphor as just a place universally accepted as "good." The song is about not caring about what people think of you.

  • Dear haters.

    Do not judge others for having other outlooks on life. they are just well meaning people like you or me.

    And you all suck for hating this song.

  • alsome song i like the not your chinimal part

  • What happened to OAR? This is NOT the same band that made "Hey Girl." They were a great jam band, and now they are a pop band? Not cool.

  • @gretschdrummer100 they sucked before, they suck now... NO FUCKING DIFFERENCE! this song perfectly shows their "sell out" nature!

  • Wow OAR sold out... good song, but yea they sold their name to "the man."

  • heaven is a metaphor for many things, on vh1, he said it is a metaphor for anything club being a good one. he means that he doesnt wanna be a part of a group/clup that does nt accept him for who he is. when he says "anybody gotta problem with the way i live", he means that he does not want to be living his life with a bunch of people judging him on how he lives his life. everybody wants to live their life the way they want it to be. so if you find yourself bullying someone, leave em alone. kkc.

  • He is refusing to be judged by religion or society; hes judging himself. He believes he is "not a criminal," etc, "everyone got a problem with the way I live," but he believes that he is worthy of an idea such as heaven, even though many on this earth may condemn his lifestyle and specifically he likely does not meet some peoples expectations for someone who should go to heaven. It implies he doesn't want to get in, if someone like him doesn't belong-a good person-he doesn't want to. my guess

  • First, this song sounds a lot like Shake Up Christmas by Train. Second, it's really good so you guys need to stop complaining and be thankful someone still actually makes real music. Third, I don't understand the lyrics at all. "I don't wanna go to heaven if I can't get in." Anyone care to explain? Thanks :)

  • @fizzynem194 what he means is that he doesn't want to go to heaven if by societies standards he can't get in. For ex, ppl have diff standards of what is good enough to get you into heaven, so of heaven can't accept the way he is, he doesn't want to go to heaven. Like the poster above said its like not being part of a club or organization if they can't accept you the way the are. A good example is like of a gay person who doesn't want to go to a local church who doesn't accept him how he is.

  • this song is stupid. "feels like heaven underneath my feet"....yet "I don't want to go to heaven if I can get in."!!!!!!!!!!! C'mon. Unless heaven is a bar up the street, you need to take a look at what you write, and make sure it makes sense. Don't like a song just because it says something like heaven. Take the time to make your own decision you dumb asses. We should boycott stupid songs as they should stand on their own without the production. Sit down and read this it's dumb like you.

  • The first time I heard this song on the radio I thought it was Train. I looked for it on their album, and was bummed to not find it. Now I've found out it's O.A.R. Even better!

  • haters, leave, lovers, stop with the stupid mean comments, we get you hate the haters and you love the song, but if you love it, listen to the song then!

  • i thought it said "youll take the road, ill take the Highway"

    but instead its "youll take the low ill take the high" which one is better?

  • YES! Haters, we hate you. Please Die! This song is fucking awesome.

  • this song is awesome you dumb ass haters haters= people who waste their lives trying to destroy other peoples lives =D

  • FREE REPLAY BUTTON---> 0:00

  • The Lyrics video has more views than the official music video...

  • @SeanGiottoNgo well, the lyrics vid did come out earlier. 

  • Honestly, I just think its a freakin' amazing song...

  • Cant.stop.replaying.

  • I DON'T CARE WHAT YOU THINK THIS IS A NICE SONG!

  • I love the video for this!!! So glad they're back.

  • Official video for this came out, its purrrrty sweet. I love that these guys formed at Ohio State!

  • @rebel32degrees

    Well thats incorrect.

  • @DavidKennedy5250 Wikipedia OAR, its in the first and 2nd section. They are indeed from Maryland, but moved to Columbus to go to OSU.

  • @rebel32degrees Thanks for proving my point that they didnt form at OSU. And I dont need any reference material on this band, I already know everything about them

  • i really like their behind the scenes video for the music video for this jam. chchchchcheck it out.

  • Really impressed with O.A.R.'s first single off of "King." Heaven is so catchy!

  • Amazing song. I'm chronically sick(need transplant) This song should be a theme song for all of us who battle life everyday. Personally, I love it...life and the song.

  • Watch the behind the scenes footage of this video everyone. Good stuff

  • for haters

    1. See your penis

    2. See the dislike bar............. NO FUCKING DIFFERENCE

  • @chapischivas777 But what if I don't have a penis...

  • such a great song...check out the video for it on VEVO it suits the song perfectly

  • Why must all people bitch over a good or bad song just for the fun of getting to tell someone else off they have no clue about. If you dont like the song why must you bitch to others about it. Dont comment if you have nothing good to say.

  • I can not stress how uplifting and awesome this song is. I hope the rest of the album is this good. :)

  • Love this song!!

  • fantastique miam miam cette chanson xox

  • :)

  • How does this video not have more views? This song is awesome <3

  • Who says he's GOING to heaven especially if he can't get in..........lyrics need to be re-thought.

  • @ellerychanning either ur a terrorist, or ur just stupid for listening to music u dont like

  • @ellerychanning how could you say something like that?! please have some respect....

  • @ellerychanning dont be such a douche bag ass hole mother fucker bitch hag dildo swallowing hater. if you dont like em whatever, go to another artists video, but dont compare an American tragedy to how much you dislike a song. you disrespectful fuck hole.

  • i always have this song stuck in my head but its a great song:D

  • Wow sTIll the  top comment !!!!

  • This song is about gay marriage and the argument against it.

  • @nextwooden I totally don't see that. lol.

  • @Kaosusoshi What part doesn't fit??

  • @nextwooden Well, it seems more like he's being judged for other reasons. And whoever he loves seems to follow the idea everyone is giving. So he's trying to convince "her" to stop caring.

    Although now that I look at it- I see what you mean hah hah. maybe gay relationships. Idk.

  • @nextwooden that doesnt make any sense
