Paper Tongues - Get Higher

[NightHawk8555]

how come some versions of this sound have the "Messiah" chorus and the "This is Holy Grail" just wondering. BTW i like this version better :)

[thewistleboy]

@NightHawk8555 there is no "Messiah" version of this song

[americanmurderband]

Bad news folks: Messiah is a Hebrew word that means "anointed". And they aren't Christians, really. The singer is, in fact, Jewish. Don't believe me? Look around for some live videos, such as the one of them performing this very song live in St. Louis..Watch it and note the extremely shiny Star of David around his neck. This song is certainly spiritual, no doubt. But it isn't Christian.

[4kingdomhrts]

@americanmurderband How is that bad news? XD

[KeltonTheKid]

im proud to be christian :)(:

[dwall005]

ok, people... they are christian, deal with it, they make AMAZING music

[lapetule]

great song, i love it

[jb74klh]

For Christians like me, this means a lot to me. It really expresses the band. and the fact they made them change it makes me mad because this is pure beauty and is so amazing. I love my Messiah and i love this song. Keep doing what you do Paper Tongues. You are amazing the way you are and no record company or radio should tell you to change. <3

[ROBLOXiAdvisory]

He says "Messiah" which is another name for Jesus Christ.

[zomgseriosuly]

@ROBLOXiAdvisory Exactly. And this is absolutely amazing.

[xRAWRxEMOxOUTCASTx]

His voice kind of reminds me of Gerard Way ( <3 )

*** I LOVE PAPER TONGUES!!! Beast mode!!!

:*

[DotAHeaD]

Why does his voice sound so out of key in this version???

EWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW

[zeBugMan]

@DotAHeaD Because this is a live version.

[berrybuddy62543]

I met the head guy today. He told us his story and the story of the band. They're all Christians but they don't say it and try not to indicate it. I don't know how you can NOT take this as a Jesus song, but whatever. Like the song.

[SoundOfASiren]

As long as the demons in our head are cut down, who cares what name we give the Messiah? I'm just glad to have one, ha

[eyesopen678]

you can see the views when God is involved now look when u took him out n had them raise ther hands to u... why u sell out the lord like that dudes??? put him back in!! i mean look @ ur views. Com On! damn it!

[lapetule]

great song and voice, superbe

[zomgseriosuly]

I've literally listened to this song like around 200 times and I sing it every day then I listen to it again and I love it even more

[JRBUDS]

grow up kids

[VFKiRoxie]

Saw them in consert! thanks 106.7

[badass964]

Coolest song ever. :)

[undiegnomes]

hey never heard the messiah part, they don't have that on the radio version i heard! I like it :)

[badass964]

@undiegnomes I know eh?! :D

[Pharlap18]

I'm a little confused. Is this a romantic song or is it about Christ? The lyrics seem to be about both at different parts. It would be a good love song, but it would be a really incredible Christian song because there aren't many of them. Can someone please straighten this out for me? Thank you.

[Cinthyacg91]

@Pharlap18 Think about it this way: God IS love. This IS a love song . A love song to the One you love. <3

So anyway your heart receives it, it is that way. :)

[BrettsMusic2009]

r they a christian band

[MultiCuban]

i always thought neon trees sang this song?

[sliverfreak9]

@MultiCuban it kinda does sound like them

[neontrees3400]

@sliverfreak9 DUDE AWESOME PLAYLIST NAME!  I THOGHT OF, "ARE YOU SIRIUS? NO I'M SEVERUS!"

[sliverfreak9]

@neontrees3400 Haha thanks (:

And that's pretty clever (:

[zomgseriosuly]

lol why are there so many people in this band? Anyway this is totally incredible x1000000

[xxdesiizdopexx]

Saw them yesterday they were amazing! I love them!

[radicalronin]

@FeelingPowerful1 i fucking got you!

[AnimalxIxHavxBecome]

seein' them tomorrow

[TruthDrums96]

Great song.

[VayuPurana]

Damn this band has 7 members geez, I can understand 3 or 4 and maybe 5 the most but 7 man that's just overkill

[eyesfaceandlips28]

i almost like this version better than the radio one.

[lovesuckes101]

Just saw them in DC awesome performance and loved the interaction with the crowed

[ZAPdontlook]

This version is WAY better than the re-recorded version that doesn't sing about God. It's not just the lyrics, but it's just the sound in general.

Awesome song :)

[houstonjdd]

YouTube Comments break down - 1/4 are worth anything, 1/4 complain about the dislike/like buttons and the last half are like this COMMENT WORTHLESS! Listen to F'ING MUSIC AND STOP DISTRACTING ME!

[radicalronin]

@houstonjdd and the worthless half is all justin beiber jokes

[seal145]

@houstonjdd Don't pay attention to the comments come here for the song....

[NightHawk8555]

i think i just raped the replay button....0:00

[YippyIzzle]

I love this song, they remind me of Neon Trees :)

[Raechilly]

I amjust in love with this song...anyone can make it about whomever they want to... but it is flawless :D

[finalflameKorisky]

'you're my fire.' best lyric in the song

[elaayna]

awesome

[Humblifier]

I heard this song live, it was pretty good.

[funkymonkey921]

Saw these guys with Linkin Park and was the better of the two opening bands for sure ! Cant wait to see them again : )

[LLawliet197]

they were live yesterday they were awesome but they were only the beggining band but still pretty good

[Scriptophobic]

This version is wayyyy better than the re-recording. Thumbs-up for the great sound quality, seescandy89!

[TSRoot93]

I really like this song

[AMATexas3]

LOVE THEM! I got to see them film a few parts of one of their music videos while I was walking uptown (Charlotte) with some friends, it was pretty awsome! They're great! We could have went to their other location at the NC Music Factory but we ran out of time :( Wish them the best of LUCK!

[CarolineAngelTV]

It really bugs me how this is a Christian and worshipful song and the comments are filled with discouraging words and profanity.

[captaindaring]

@CarolineAngelTV Don't read the comments. You should know better.

[YaOiNeSsFaNGiRl7]

I didn't think it was so possible to be addicted to a song, but damn...Beautiful! ♥

[atduncan1]

your my fire

[WoolyBooger09]

Why do people always have to start fights about religion? If you don't like something, then don't listen to it. And don't post comments just to make people mad. Be mature and move on.

Love this song btw :)

[KatieVproductions]

at first i though this was a white dude singing this.....

[LakeyLuvAnimals23]

@KatieVproductions haha i did too.

[okaymichellee]

squishy

[nyle123nyle]

just fucked up the replay button

[TheMusicjunkie12391]

Love the song!!

[TheIzbomb]

By far one of the best songs ever!

[peanutbabie94]

i love them!!!!!!!!!!!!!! <3

[msh634177]

10 people got lower

[Kairi6549]

Omg. I love this band... Yeah :) i seen them in concert and the band really makes everyone just feel more together lol. If that makes sense.

[ursula812]

This song makes me feel better on shitty days like today.

[TheJDilly]

Randy Jackson found this band

[bebe9396]

I.LOVE. HIS. VOICE!!!!!!!!!!!

[WinChronic21]

I think their actually talking about hitting the blunt and getting higher and higher and higher

[Dekcatta]

It's a good demo... :D

I have to say, I prefer it to the album version.

[AntiFox08]

Paper Tongues had a pretty cool starting story. I heard it on the radio sometime last year. A friend of theirs saw Randy Jackson at a Mcdonalds I think it was, and said "Hey, you gotta check this out!" They had a laptop or something and he actually listened, and liked it.

[IrishHeroMan]

When I first heard this on the radio I thought it was a woman signing.

[kleezer]

This is a christian song?!!?! WTF!

[blueeyes5221]

I heard this song on the radio and I LOVE it!!!!

[rousseldawg]

Where can i buy this version of the song???

[Efnscreenames]

from Charlotte.

[beautybenzs550]

This is the BEST version sonq< 33.

[TheColorMike]

Wow, love this version! Where can I find a high def one?

[HeyEatMyShit]

when he says he sing to the angels or whatever.. he is talking about lucifer and all of his angels... its everywhere

[txmxax25]

He's talkin about mary jane, he's stoned through this whole song

[MyBestiesrAwellsome]

9 people are jealous of aswan's hair

[BorrowedHeart]

I wish they'd kept this version of the song. It's so much more powerful.

[Enerade]

Me and my gf have officially made this our song :D haha

[seescandy89]

@Dlogreen

@MoonPisces029 look here asswipe, I put this song up almost a year ago when there were only 2 other songs by them. So therefore, there weren't many songs from them at the time. Can you understand that? This was before they had the album released with the remake of the songs. Don't get butt hurt about it you oversensitive bitch.

[Anthonythebest1]

@seescandy89 you told his dumbass

[radicalronin]

@seescandy89 you are epic

[seescandy89]

@naruto3351

Oh crap I accidentally responded to the wrong person. That was meant for someone called diogreen. So no, nothing against moon, Sorry about that =/

[HunterAvakianFilms]

@seescandy89 U MAD? :3

[MoonPisces029]

LOVE this!

[luckydude554]

love this way better stupid fucking gay justin bieber and lesbo lady gaga

[deidaraslut]

@luckydude554 something wrong with lesbians?

[Wisecraka]

@deidaraslut not if they are extremely hot

[seanocox]

@deidaraslut it was just used as an adjective... simply stating a fact

[FearKissers]

@deidaraslut Seriously, lesbians are amazing <3 My sister is lesbian, and I love her no matter what. Gay rights, I will support with all I've got.

[hppybrthdaybobnotis]

@deidaraslut No. Just lesbianism. The people are anatomically correct just wrong in every other sense. ;)

[chuchuby8]

@deidaraslut yes there is... why do you think that there are people of the opposite sex? Just so we can repopulate? No. IT's so we can "mate" with opposting sex's... not the same.

[supergir124]

@luckydude554 I LOVE THIS TOO! 

[CrazyFangirlXD]

@luckydude554 

[RoGG201]

@luckydude554 crap dude im soo sorry for voting down, i meant to hit the vote up button. But srsly i agree with you. Sorry again.

[brin11299]

@luckydude554 ok justin is yes gay but hes still ok and lady gaga is weird but still awesome and NOT LESBO

[TheChadddddddddd]

Can I buy this version anywhere? I have the cd, but I don't like that version of this song.

[Monty2451]

Is it just me, or does this song sound like "What's Up?" by 4 Non Blondes?

[xxunceunce1xx]

I saw him at a concert. My sister followed him tapping him on the shoulder "EXCUSE ME" He finally looked and he is soooo nice! :)

[carefulwatyouwishfor]

i just went to the house of blues in orlando florida last night and saw Paper tongues, Hey Monday, A Rocket to the Moon and last but not least.....Paramore(: my first concert, anyways, this song rocks, they played it last night :D

[mooqtie215]

who can you say actually sounds better live than on cd? this band!!! omg they put on an amazing show..I cannot describe it justly.

[epiclight858]

I love this song!!! :)

[Alwaysgrl]

This song is so powerful. The lyrics really speak to me and I love the singer's voice. It's original and beautiful. A new favorite for me.

[SpectrumXL]

[cjscarlett88]

[Flynnygirl91]

[girrrrrrr2]

When i am listening to X1039 online... i hear this song, and cakes latest hit about 40 times a day... its almost annoying...

I could swear that they played this song 2x in a row...

[XXXXArcaneXXXX]

This is my song right hur.

[pinballwizard8394]

i saw them open for neon trees, and they actually got the crowd going more than neon trees did haha...then i saw aswan outside afterwards, nice guy...i fell in love with his voice right away..sounds like they changed the lyrics up on the album though:)

[KafweenSorrow]

[atlbirdsaregreat]

[JPerry147]

@atlbirdsaregreat mixed

[MyLoveRocket]

i can listen to this song over and over and not get tired of it :D

[bbeard913]

This is the best song being played on Houston alternative radio right now by far. That man has such a unique voice. I love it.

[CalebsCOOLIEO]

There great live this band is good!

[Ihatehumans1]

@hylo did you not look ten video's down in the suggestions section? There is a Get Higher (acoustic) It's like strait acrossed from your comment. In other news, I Love This Song! Their so great live too!!!!

[Tearum777]

watch?v=WgslABw-KH0

[Zer0tobackdown]

theres parts of this song that are just badass

[ppaaggss1313]

i saw these guys in Charlotte which is their home town, they were amazing live. maybe the best ive ever seen live. if you get a chance to see them. definentaly go

[tompenny1aop]

i cant help but play this day in and day out :) ...."may there music live for ever"-TP

[r2taylor]

I like this version so much more. This is a POWERFUL song.

[squeakinator]

What version is this ?

[pjspelce]

zomfg amazing song :D

[Gabesterhamster]

See this band live, it will change your life. They sound even better in person

[karleksvenska]

His voice is amazing. These lyrics are so deep and....everything about this song is beautiful. I rarely say that about songs nowadays. :)

[spacemonkeyzrock]

I love these guys! Saw them on tour with Switchfoot and I didn't know who they were but I'm SO glad I saw them live, they were awesome!!!

[kasumimoon1961]

i love this version!! it puts me in a different view than the radio version.

[josiahlukespencer]

Messiah means "Anointed One", and refers to Jesus Christ. Christ literally means Messiah.

[Bubbasage]

@josiahlukespencer I mean unless you were from ANY OTHER RELIGION then it wouldn't mean that... Jesus how did 3 morons like this?

[Bubbasage]

@josiahlukespencer Unless you were one of the 2 other core religions like judaism or muslim in which case it DOES NOT MEAN JESUS CHRIST...

three other people are stupid too.

[LuSidLryics]

@Bubbasage i have no particular view on this argument...just want to point out as i am a Wiccan, i know that my religion, though misunderstood, is Pagan which is also a core religion. not to start an argument, but please don't assume that you are the only religions...

[TrevorSeay]

@Bubbasage However, the term messiah was brought about by the Hebrew Bible, to refer to kings and princes who had been anointed with the Holy Spirit (in and of itself being a Christian principle). The term messiah was later brought about to describe Jesus Christ, considering He was the Son of God and therefore had to be anointed with the Holy Spirit.

[FinDiggity]

@Bubbasage actually one of my best friends played drums with the drummer in this band at a church here in Charlotte...granted not everyone who plays music in a church is Christian, but from what he said the drummer is a Christian.

[sponsohio10]

@josiahlukespencer y cant u ppl (refering to christians) just see the music how it is as a talent of an individual person and not a gift from some fictional character out of a fiction book (the bible) they sing about what the think their messiah is!!! it could be their mother, father, brother, or sister. so let them say who their messiah is!!

[Thebluebridgetroll]

@sponsohio10 Paper Tongues IS classified as a christian band. Deal with it lol. They make good music, but just get over the fact that it's christian. and "Messiah" in the common use, refers SPECIFICALLY to Jesus.

[realize151]

@Thebluebridgetroll i agree with you but also, Jews believe that the Messiah's coming and Hindus have one coming too

[davey5361]

@josiahlukespencer ya messiah is jesus christ

[hyola]

This version is somewhat different from the version on their official album. I like it too. And yes, the best part of the band is Aswan's voice. Imagine this song acoustic.

[Ihatehumans1]

@hyola hey there is an acoustic one like 10 down in the suggestions section. In other news i love this song! and their so amazing live!

[burleson41]

Love Them<3

[maryvirginiahughes]

Interesting, this is a religious version. Messiah and Wailing Wall, still incredibly great.

[Techy1980]

This song is pretty boss.

[SwirlyPandas]

Messiah.....Messiah....Messiah­....take me to you where you are...God I love you and this...<3

[rousseldawg]

@SwirlyPandas I love that part to. But he says "take me to your wailing wall" just fyi

[jentay1175]

@SwirlyPandas The lyrics are actually....Messiah, Messiah, Messiah...take me to your Wailing Wall.

[wdmnetwork]

Heard these guys on Bubba the love Sponge. Good stuff and great live performers...some of the live stuff is even better than the studio productions

[juanchito05]

Where did you get this track from? It's awesome and I want to get a hold of it. I enjoy more than the version on the CD.

[mickycee64]

IF IT KEEPS ON RAINING THE LEVEE'S GONNA BREAK ,,GOD EVERYONE IS INFLUENCED BY THE GREATEST BAND IN THE WORLD LED ZEP

[RevolutionRichard]

@mickycee64 - It is very funny that you say that since Zepplin ripped off a whole lot of their music from blues artists including the song that you quoted which was a Memphis Minnie song.

[cjscarlett88]

@mickycee64 what the heck does lep zepplin have to do with paper tongues. gahh.

[ablindguyxxx]
