"Be My Escape (Acoustic)" -- Relient K

[omgoctopusomg]

is it just my headphones, or does anyone else hear this really high pitched whistle type thing? :[

[radngnarlysk8]

It's always great seeing Patrick Dempsey pop up in front of you randomly...

[RRGonzalo]

Jesus es el camino la verdad la vida... el escape de nuestros problemas es Él solo él Gracias Dios...

[codyoty]

Nice mandolin in the beginning

[ZaSquidanator]

I love this song.

[poodlepanhead]

crap video, love the music though :)

[shoemoodoshaloo]

Thanks for trying to ruin the song with this totally queer videos. JESUS

[inisanil]

there is a film with this song .. i dont know how it was called .. help me ?????

[KWPsidney1]

They're a cristian band??? Wow, just learning this<3

[xkxbx1]

Not christian at all and I can that Relient K is one of my favorite bands and is such a big inspiration in my life.

[Airsoft101guy]

1:17 he smelled her hair and didn't think it smelled very good

[NotCFilmProduction]

@bonedaddy30120 she uses the bag not beacuse she has asthma and needs an inhaler, she uses the bag bacause she is nervous or is having anxiety issues

[sailentshadow]

Out of the top 5 acoustics, I do say this is the best sounding one.. thanks f'r the upload

[ROhjklyuiop]

Of course this is christian.Relient K is like the best christian band ever....I recently found out that they are hardcore partyers which kindve makes me sad but idc, theyre awesome anyways.

[TrokisBoy101]

@ROhjklyuiop How do you know they are hardcore partyers? and they are awesome :) just because they like to party, doesn't mean that they are less christian, God still loves them and what they do (musically) is committed to God.

[ROhjklyuiop]

@TrokisBoy101 Hardcore partyers as in get drunk, et cetera.I never implyed that it means they are less christian, you simply assumed that is what I ment by that.

[TrokisBoy101]

@ROhjklyuiop I know, sorry, but the thing is, its not bad to enjoy yourself from time to time

[XspeakerXforXmarsX]

@ROhjklyuiop being christian doesn't mean you don't party ;] everyone likes having fun. I like the fact that they go and out and enjoy life with nonchristians. I know they like to go to bars and do concerts there and it;s good that they way they choose to reach out to other ppl isn't by going to church that so many other ppl believe is the correct thing to do is go to church to reach the lost...but isn't a church where believers come to congregate?

[qwerpoiuROX]

lol dude.. i hate why people bring religion into this..ik there singing about god but cmom admit there stating relatable problems and its some very good music yo so enjoy the music for what it is yo!..and ik i say yo alot its my word cuz im awesome jk

[DanceSabrinaDance]

wtf this is a christian song? i've known it for years, and i've never known that...

[Thebrownelementsk8er]

Who cares, Religion is just a way of showing how hypocrytical(i don't know if spelled right) things are. I think everyone believes in their OWN god and religion is sillt and immature to argue over.

[Thebrownelementsk8er]

@Thebrownelementsk8er Silly*

[hustlekong]

this band must be heard!!! they have a great song!!!! people must recognize them!!

[AssassinsHiddenBlade]

im not any religen christhin, jewish, nothing and i love all music accept rap

[Badlynamedkid]

Jewish, love this song

[MySk8trgrl]

y is the blonde lady always either lookin lyk she smelled smthin bad or cryin or freakin out cnt she jus freggin smile for lyk one GD second?

[dudemanio]

if only there were as many fine examples of christian novelists as there are musicians

[nolegirl97]

@dudemanio OMG!!! I have the perfect solution to your problems....Bodie Thoene is a historical christian series authors. look them up... i recommend starting with the Zion covenant series (about the holocaust and WW2) then moving to the A.D. chronicles(with books on Jesus's birth, Manhood, and Childhood)...AMAZING!!!!!! they bring Jesus to a new level.

[neadst]

@dudemanio Hey, don't forget J. R. R. Tolkein and C. S. Lewis!

[STOPintHeNameofPANTS]

relient k is my favorite band. christianity aside (although i am a christian) matt theisen has a way of expressing complex emotions with such poignancy--this band is the reason i fell in love with the english language.

[BlackKara]

Great song.

[cronack]

I'm a Christian, but that's not the only reason I LOVE this song, it's simply awesome.

[4our]

u know the intro sounds like a ukelele.. it probably is...

[ROFLjohn714]

mandolin actually =D

[MrFunkBassMaster]

its a mandolin:-) great stuff though:-)

[CrustyBits777]

@4our Yeah, that is a Ukulele

[SaBiiH95]

i love this song! acousic version is better than the original

[fabio70229]

your cool

[nothingbutblink]

i find it weird that i i'm an athiest yet some of my favorite bands are christian: relient k, the devil wears prada, underoath, my children my bride etc. love this song

[ShadowPhaerie]

I'm like that too. It's odd huh?

[sarushca100]

I think it might be because the christian faith deals with some basic questions and desires that are very real to all of us.

[sledneck4ever]

agreed

[kaimon96]

Same. I think maybe they have more passion in their singing due to their religion when the songs are more religion/god-based.

[DiegoBloody]

@nothingbutblink man its because is about music, not religion

Music is one of the best things of the world (:

[snwdream22]

@nothingbutblink This might be stepping way out there...but maybe you are drawn to christian music because your soul recognizes the basic truth that a higher power does exist...and since it can't find it's expression in you due to your athiest beliefs...it finds it's expression through music.

[snwdream22]

I am a hostage to my own humanity. Self detained and forced to live in this mess Ive made.

Isn't that the truth...

[mma4christ1]

@snwdream22

amen haha this song is fun to jump around to and it has beautiful lyrics

[spymaister]

beautiful song :) its on my itunes XD

[geassmasterx]

this song makes me cry when it is acoustic because it is like me even though i am not a song*retardedX3*

[ferbette]

I love relient k and greys anatomy so this is awesome! x

[mandyfullofcandy]

most of the time the acoustics are more better than the rock type songs because they sound more origianl and more heart felt.AWW i love the piano part @ the end!!!

[echostorydabest]

haha this is pretty good. idk if its better than the original version

[sadegary13]

I like this song.:)

[rainydaysurprise]

where can i get this song? i'm completely in love with it :)

[Williewi11]

iTunes or Amazon MP3

[STOPintHeNameofPANTS]

@rainydaysurprise this acoustic version is available on itunes and also on the ep apathetic up

[theblackdragon1212]

i like the normal one better

[OHWOWOLiViAx]

this is better than the original.

[noohshab]

the acoustic version is better than the other one

[klauntz]

god doesnt exsist so its not about your imaginary friend. its just a good song!

[korrupshun02]

Yes he does my friend... and yes Relient K wrote this song as they do all their songs for their "imaginary friend"... Look at it this way... at least you were right about it being a good song

[Nimrod1000]

I like you. I'm not a christian, but i can see past that and admit that this is one hell of a well-written song.

[SashaPsychoticc]

im glad that you can appreciate the music and look past the religion, :)

[ndavenport14]

what is wrong with you?

you are disgusting.

go to hell.

[mUrkYxiA]

rykeyz

if you're looking for a song about God..

try  the worship songs of Woodstruck or songs of Hillsongs :D

[onc3and4all]

welcome!! God bless..

[onc3and4all]

rykeyz - this song's about a man's coping up to God standards..

recommendation: Zero by hawk nelson, falls apart by Thousand Foot Krutch, Feelin so Fly by Toy mac..

[rykeyz]

thanks alot and also thanks for the add ;)

[rykeyz]

IMPORTANT QUESTION!!!

hey I'm working on my homework for religion class. I heard Relient K is a Christian Band so I was wondering if that song is actually about God? would be awesome if you could answer!

oh and if you know any other songs (doesn't have to be Relient K) that are about God (no matter if it's positive or negative about God), please tell me. thanks :)

love that song by the way:D

[PartyParty14]

pretty much most of relient k's songs are christian.

[joeynajarian]

just letting you know i love this song but the file must be fucked theres a high pitch noise in the back round

[AeroDream1]

or maybe your ears are ringing

[oyeaabc]

Love this version :)

[greenewithenvy2]

ok really- why is it all greys anatomy?

[ForeverSCH]

I was asking myself the same mate. It doesn't make sense to me .

[bishoppx]

my friend did a cover of this song, and i think he did it better.

[rockel1986]

Ugh Grey's Anatomy

[trewcanadian]

agreed. great song with a horrible show.

[bjmempin]

nice song... thx...

[reneelillian]

cuz I know to live you must give your life away .... AMEN!

"the beauty of grace"

God's grace is amazing!

nice song!

^_^

[Piancas]

i've given up, i've given up slowly

[fritzLIGHTyagami922]

L♥VE it :D

[SamCarterFan]

it's a banjo. jon schneck who normally plays the guitar also plays the banjo. he named it Banjela Lansbury. =)

[SuperSneakyPanda]

sounds like a mandalin in the opening

[PrecyBell]

lindoooooooo!*-*

[musicmaniack256]

i like relient k and all ther music. but y did u use a grey's anatomy video?

[limetang]

I guess because it can be interpreted as a song about relationships, and the derek and meredith relationship in greys anatomy is one of the major things in it.

[emo4everXD]

video sux -.-

[brandonviz]

all of reliant K's music sounds better when it's acoustic

[Jacob1250]

awesome version of the son :P RELIANT K IS FTW =D :D =D :D =D :D =D :D =D :D

[NaarutoFreeak]

sounds more like ukelele abit

[EpitomeOfBlasphemy]

Not really. Mandolins have a harmonic sound to them that is pretty much unique among the other stringed instruments. Ukuleles aren't nearly as melodic.

[DoingItForTheMoney]

I'm not sure if this is right, but please please tell me somebody didn't compare Relient K to The Jonas Brothers?

[jaggerandmaxrock]

unfortinitly yes

[DoingItForTheMoney]

That's depressing. The difference being RK have actual talent and are amazing, and the jonas brothers and annoying gayboys

[imrunningfromlions]

haha reading that comment just made my day.

"the jonas brothers are annoying gayboys."

haha thankyou for that(:

[DoingItForTheMoney]

You're welcome

and it's trueee :)

x x x

[imrunningfromlions]

haha yes it is i would've just never thought to word it quite like that(:

praise god someones got some creativity(:

[pacesetters07]

beautiful music

[ironmandan2]

sounds like there is a mandalyn in there.

[guitarfreak521]

There is ( :

[EpitomeOfBlasphemy]

Well, mandolin is the correct spelling, but yea, you're right. (No offense intended at all.) ^^

[frostyangel210]

Ok.. it's been 2 years after the first time I watched this video and everytime I watch it and listen to the song, I fall in love with your video more and more.

THANKS.. for posting it!!

5/5! -Brit B.

[mehmongtoo]

can any1 tell me strumming pattern?

[amgceg]

not sure

[LtTsukasa]

The songs strum changes from part to part, so your best be would be to ask of some sort of guitar forums, not here. You could always try to do it by ear. Thats what I did, and I got pretty close.

[chanchan0404]

Use your ear

[rayking05]

this guy has a clarity to his voice unlike any other ive heard

[amgceg]

yea, like all those pop boy bands r all nazely and they strain and whine...its not natural!!!! like that pop song lovebug......the jo bros sound friggin constipated!! the lovebug must hurt!!!!

[Killerkiki313]

c'mon. Don't be a hater.

[amgceg]

What do you mean? The JOnas Brothers are very talented musicains, just not natural....they just try to hard...Sorry if I upset you....I used to like them too, but then found Relient K, and fell in instant love!!!!

[Killerkiki313]

eh its alright. Guess I just didnt get what you were trying to say. I love them both. Relient K is softer, Jonas may be natural to them but "try hard" to you. I guess its just how they sing.

[thesavagecfc44]

Their songs are the best! I cant get over how amazing this band is!

[zoeycanobe671]

this song is awesome!!! cud u post a link to the tabs?

[biancaretro]

dude sir mann i effing love this song:)

relient k kicks:)

[nerdyygirl]

this song sorta applies to me right now

im feeling so down lately

but there is someone trying to help me and i really appriciate that he's doing that for me

but im praying and listening to the ever so AMAZING RK to help me through thingss(:

[StellarKartFan21]

Haha I love it!...Sounds like a ukalalee...Haha..Or are they using one?

[amgceg]

maybe a banjo i kno they use those sometimes!!!!

[Raz0rbakkm]

Sounds more like a Fender Strat-Acoustic or a similar guitar of Yamaha (APX-5, etc.)

[Raz0rbakkm]

... it's an Ukulele :)

when you play the Chords F#m and F#sus2 you'll get a Sound like that. It could also be a Mandoline.

[Longhairox]

I think the original is better, but the acoustic is fantastic as well! :)

[FakeJeanne]

I love it

I can't stop listening it

the acoustic version is even better than the normal, I love it <33333

[Richardrald]

Loving it~~~~

[thefray190]

They sound really good acoustic!

I ♥ R-K!!!!!!! =]

Best band ever!! =]

[nerdyygirl]

Best band ever is soooooooooooo right!!!!(:

[jeanzinhusf]

Relient K Rocks... the best!

[SirtesErevan]

i love patrick demsey! omg so hot!

[kaitlynm56]

I also Loove accoustic version better!! :]

[dewilovesmaroon5]

Love the Song, Love GA :)

[aznrdpi314]

yay mandolins!

[SweeTEmox3]

I love this song. :)

[punketero]

please the tabs...!!xD

[idkmybffrandi]

i like this version and the other one!

[pinklilypad18]

i love this version better

[NathanielLockharte]

relient k using ukelele's? lol still an awesome version though

[490295]

its a mandolin (whatever) one of my favs

[relientkobsessed]

yeah actually, they use it for some of their songs =]

usually played by schneck.

[marissa91592]

I have no clue what that show has to do with the song,but I really love this version of this song.

[Whazzzap]

This version sounds very good!

[recklessxbaby]

banjooo !

[cutiemarshmallow]

its a mandolin

[sniperfalcon12]

wat instrument is being played at the beginning?

[CatholicRanger]

It sounds like a 12 string acoustic guitar.

[JoBro321]

No its a mandolin

[seaairandland]

is that based off "scrubs"

[farfallinanera]

no way. i have no idea but i am sure it's not scrubs since i love it.

[danceprincessx3]

scrubs=comedy

grey's..=drama

[dakattack7793]

im pretty sure if anything scrubs would be based of this

[DoodleTaffy]

i know really, i find it so odd that a Greys Antaatomy vid is releated to this Relient K song maybe another song of theirs but not this one.but i've never watched this show and i love Relient K so thats probaly got sumthin 2 do w/my opinion.

[timsanford91]

Not a fan of Grey's anatomy, but its a well put together video and the song is good too =)

[snakeman1500]

great song

[TaylorxTTLY]

I love this song<3

[bobillion625]

u got serious issues dude

[DeathPodJr]

Got bored lol

[BrendanAttempts]

lol, "got bored!"

haha.

[XxXxGARLANDxXxX]

personally im not a fan of greys anatomy, but what i think is that its their own choice. youtube is a form of expression, and anyone can say anything they want. you have no right to decide weather they can use greys anatomy or not.

[coakesy09]

yay youtube argument!!

[devilek963]

to bd chyba jedyny kmentarz po polsku hehe xP kocham ta piosenke zreszta tak smao jak serial xP

[ointa10]

what the heck does that mean?

[unwantedsum1]

God's great! yeah! go, relient k! keep it up! rock for Jesus!

[beachdaysz]

this song is amaziiing.

[OnTheSceneee]

this sad is sssooooo sad, but i love it

[aznbubble33]

Love The SOng ^^

[elr1cbros]

i dont watch greys anatomy but it looks pretty good =]
