Abandon Kansas - "Close Your Eyes" (Official Music Video)

[Enticingspring9]

Saw them live at a church event when they were not that big im so glad i didnt miss it

[MegaFlyingunicorns]

Is this a christain group? The lyrics seem to point to it

[frchandler]

Love how Bradley moves haha (:

[IPlayDrums08]

Guitar player substitutes at my school all the time. His dad is the principle. Coolest dude ever!

[teraestera]

I met and talked to the singer in COSTA MESA, CALIFORNIA !

BEFORE THE SHOW !

TO FIND OUT HE WAS THE SINGER OF ABANDON KANSAS !

LOL !

[marcus19croat]

people you are great,BIG RESPECT FROM EUROPE CROATIA!!!

[gabbzaboo506]

the reason they're not as big as they should is because a majority of ppl don't appreciate good music.

[LucyMeganMusic]

I can't stop listening to this song, it's so dang good, love it

[TheseBonesLiquify]

Geeze. I haven't lisened to this song in months...... So nice to come back to it :) <3

[mhn7797]

I am good with all of it except for the mullet. It makes him look super creepy. But the music is absolutely incredible.

[courtneywhitlock]

Great band to see live. I was one of maybe 10 people at their concert a few months back. Brad lost his shoe right before the show haha :) LOVE THEM/

[youreigngod95]

Swag man! Mad swag!

[impactallin]

This has to be my favorite song by Abandon!! I love the mullet and the dancing!!! Oh and allowing the Spirit to flow through their music!! Love, love, LOVE IT...

[jtchiefs31]

I live in Kansas so it makes me like this song even more



[david19476]

the man in the white is not dancing his jeans are just too tight !

[MrGermanVermin]

Brad getting some love on here

[luvtokickflipoc]

hipsters



[PicturaSonus]

@Alexrbld Haha Brad is the man ;)

[BagelzZzMonicaLol]

i like the moves from that guy with the white shirt

[MrsWitwer]

this sounds great.

[zacmaster16]

This band is amazing, i don't understand why they are not so listened like other bands...

[noobmaster5000]

THIS GUY SOUNDS JUST LIKE JON FOREMAN! (lead singer of Switchfoot)

[tomarik]

meh

[scotts87]

Am I the only one who thinks this guy sounds a bit like Jon Foreman from Switchfoot?

[TheseBonesLiquify]

I never noticed that he had a mullet o.o Was too into the music before <3

[AbandonKansas]

Thanks for all the support guys and gals!

[kellimcgarry]

If I were a guy, this song would be giving me a boner :D

[SumoZillaFilms]

they are in Gotee Records, which is toby mac's studio, they should be bigger than they are, my guess is they will be because artists such as sonic flood, story side b, reliant k, and jeff deyo all came out of Gotee Records, they just need that big release i guess. great band with big potential!

[OceanPeace3]

WHY are these guys not BIGGER than this?

GREAT lyrics! GREAT music!

May God bless them.

[TheseBonesLiquify]

@OceanPeace3 God I so agree! D: Last time I heard this song, this video should have AT LEAST a million views..Freakin dissapointing man.

[KingOfLegends23]

@OceanPeace3 It's case they work on more than their label and other people writing their stuff for them

[WelcomeWakinyan]

Hey I live in KS haha!

[spencerdukestv]

the lead singer looks like mouth in goonies

[subfighter316]

[ieatstuffoffthefloor]

Seen these guys a couple times in Wichita... once at the Eagles Lodge, must have been about 4 years ago now, I think they shared the stage with Alesana, and I want to say Poison the Well, but can't remember for sure. I wish I had kept a log of who all I saw and when. :(

[perforatemyheart]

I remember when these guys were playing for 5 bucks in Arkansas before they got huge. Loved 'em then, love 'em now. : )

[Truthofaliar2]

I met them a few months ago for my 16 b-day and let me tell u guys something,they r amazing dudes.They got talent.

[dgreenbear]

[Ssk8collins]

[MONiCA61796]

@Ssk8collins Haha that's so awesome!

[rusheena]

@MONiCA61796 Lmho, I was just about to comment about that; it's funny to see rock stars not look so cool every once in a while, lol

[CelestialD3signs]

@MONiCA61796 You should see him at a show...O_O AMAZING!

[MONiCA61796]

@CelestialD3signs I so want to see them D:

[jujubees19951]

@MONiCA61796 He makes them so entertaining live.

[shawnmeboy]

[fouroverfour]

The guy in the white shirt undulating as he plays his guitar is a little creepy. =P

[whatismacharisma]

there's alot of great christian bands out there. too bad alot of people won't give them a chance just because they are a christian band.

[iatetheworld]

I just saw Jeremy play at a house show. Such a cool guy. I thought he was awesome solo, but I had no idea the whole band was this amazing.

[thefaselerkid]

@iatetheworld Me too

[gibsonlp0813]

Great band, AMAZING MUSIC, Why are they not on every radio station in the US????

[GODsoccersk8football]

[aquabat104]

[MadeOrphan]

The mullet died in the 80's man!

[JoshGWells]

@MadeOrphan unfortunately it's come back & not just on rednecks. Oh the poor backward youth of America.

[hippiebutnot]

@JoshGWells Don't worry, the mullet is no more. He cut it. =0)

[shamelesslycool]

The guitarist was getting it in!

I love this song, but I watch the video just to see him dance.

[ImaNerdatHeart]

@shamelesslycool

The Guitarist Brad he is an amazing dancer you should see him dance live its epic . He is really modest about it. But he is amazing.

[xavdixe17]

the air my lungs require, surrounds me...all i have to do is breathe

in the same way Your Spirit envelops me...come envelop me, come take over me

close your eyes, then you'll start to see...shut them, tight then you can believe

...wow

[SellRox]

Haha everyday after school, I go to church, turn on the computer, go on YouTube, and I listen to this song about twenty times!!! Then I play it on the piano, the bass, then I go back to listening to it here another twenty times!! It's so addicting to listen to, this is my all-time favorite living band, and this is forever my favorite song!!! I LOVE YOU GUYSS!! GOD BLESS YOU ALL♥♥♥

[ForgivenChildofJesus]

This song is soooo awesome! I pray that you guys remain on the path the Lord has set before you. It is so amazing to call on Him to come envelop and take over us. Our God is soooo amazing and soooo good. I don't know if we will ever meet in this life but I will worship with you now and look forward to worshiping with you there. Godspeed and God bless!

[ilovemileycyrusbby]

[AbandonKansas]

ya'll are great, thanks for the support!

[losroftheday]

Unlike a lot of the popular Alternative bands you see these days, these guys have ACTUAL talent. And not only that, they know how to use it, which makes for a deadly combination. In short, these guys pwn.

[xavdixe17]

took me a while to warm up to them but now i absolutely love them and the lyrics...wow!!

[SingerForChirst]

I love this song!! I love the lyrics! Such a great band!!!! The guitarist dance moves are pretty awesome too!! :) haha!! You guys should come play in Utah!!!

[Limab567]

brads dancing = epic. love these guys! ive seen them twice :D

[ur2short6]

Why are these guys not more popular? They are the BOMB!

[Z4N30]

@ur2short6 because alot of people think christian music is lame because there christians...those people live sad lives.

[hippiebutnot]

@Z4N30 True dat.

[smexxylexxi]

<33

[elmolover23]

i love this song , word absolutely amazing <3 and yes there music does make a difference :)

[trainedstarsweet]

They came to my church and sung What If It's All In My Head and Make Believe. It's the third time I've seen them, but they just keep getting better. Hanging out with them at Marvin's was totally epic. Ha(:

[TheInfiniteSerenity]

i love the guitar players random dancing in the background :D

[AddictedToJesus100]

My Friend Carly Introduced Me to This Band And Wowzerz,They're Good!!!

[jeffkilledyou]

I just got back from a show at The Channel and watch them for the second time there. Me and my buds were lucky enough to hang with them after the show and get to know them a bit. All of them are great dudes. Seeing them the second time was more exciting, being that I knew the songs this time around. I think we blew them away when we showed them the posters me and my friend made. Great night at The Channel.

[talkercv]

i love this song i was up late sick and saw this on TV its amazing

[britanylee1707]

ohh man how i miss you AK, sooo good.

i am so happy for you guys ,<33333

[CrziedAnce94]

[rstroker530]

[Namahsi1]

Great band and an even greater group of guys. Not only do they make wonderful music but they actually make a difference in the world.

[Pandanobear]

I wanna know what that snare is.

[Mister10445]

@Pandanobear Whenever we played with them he always used his Tama snare. I don't know if he used his kit for recording but I know whenever we played with them or I've seen them play it's always been his Tama snare.

[ziplock789]

i LOVE AK.

they're concerts are AMAZING. super fun. (:

love you guys.

[nazrebecca]

[things123454321]

[taraliz915]

[justinmcdonald87]

ABK.... guys im ashamed to say i havent been to a show yet. but i am not ashamed to say ive watched you guys grow. people in, people out, ive seen you guys when you seem stuck and when the doors seemed to just fly open. and i believe youve came to one of these doors. youve taken what god has gave you as a gift and gave it back not only to him but to everyone who can hear, see or think. i love you guys to death. id do anything for yall. brad my be my cousin but to me..you guys are all family. :)

[marcusledoux]

great band, great music, great guys...i played a show with these guys a few years ago in my hometown of Lake Charles, Louisiana...hands down 1 of the nicest bands i've ever met. glad to see God is doing some great things in your lives! good luck fellas and God bless!

[AbandonKansas]

our video is getting rotation on mtvU, and we need your vote to keep it there!

[Goatrider27]

I cant wait to see you guys in fortsmith this month. Much love, james.

[Goatrider27]

Abandon Kansas is one of the most talented and caring bands I've ever followed. Through their music and their passion for people, many lives have been changed forever, trust me I'm one of them. I am totally in love with this band for all that they do. For the one bashing AK: All i can say is that Jesus loves you and so does Abandon Kansas. Their genre may not be your preference- you should take the time to look into their hearts.

[Laraflutterby]

Awesome song and video!! Much love from Chandler(Phoenix) Arizona!!! Love the subject of the song. Yes the Holy Spirit inside us rocks!!

[kris10williamson]

i <3 ak! their music is awesome and this video is a wonderful taste of their live shows. happy touring, boys!!!

[ja5kren]

Rules.

[mhsfootbalplaya]

amen oldschoolbugs! I was SO excited for this video to come out and now that its out I want the WORLD to see it too and know about Our Savior :D

[TheJayhawk91]

you mean NONE of you are taking my side on this one? i swear people don't even use their brains when they listen to music anymore

[ghamblin07]

you dont use yours, i bet you like nickelback too jayhawk91

[oldschoolbugs]

to the ignorant people that seem to think that this band sucks:

if you dont like it, dont watch it!

there are plenty of people that love this band

i personally know some of the members so yes i like them too but come on lay off

all your accomplishing by continuing to respond to these comments is making yourselves look like little middle schoolers... which you probably are lol

[hall844]

Whats your problem TheJayhawk?

[mariert11]

LOVE the video and LOVE these guys even more! They truly are outstanding guys and I will defend them anytime, anywhere! Their music is AWESOME!

[ghamblin07]

You guys are awesome, ive been a fan since you played at my church retreat probly 5 years ago, its good too see all your hardwork pay off, keep it up! oh and jayhawk91 go watch AK play live and you will change your mind about them and quit hatin and find something more constructive to do with your time, like maybe learn to play an instrument

[TheJayhawk91]

oh yeah, because learning to play an instrument is soooo constructive. i bet you play acoustic guitar and show up at parties with your emo swoop hair cut

[ghamblin07]

hahaha actually i dont play guitar at all and i keep my hair buzzed short. and yes learning an instrument is constructive its way more constructive than sitting at home looking up bands to hate on what is that proving to anyone?

[scheatham222]

TheJayhawk91: we know. it's tough being a mouth breathing, angst-ridden 19 year old that has acne and no friends. believe me, we know. i'm sure you have a "superior" taste in music that includes crap like creed and nickleback, but trust me: your ridiculous rants aren't going to help you get any dates on friday night. love, sam.

[seg717]

Well they are getting ready to play at a youth conference in St. Louis, so if that's "local" then i don't know what is and isn't anymore...keep up the excellent work guys! Amazing stuff...miss you all!

[hall844]

Abandon Kansas saved my musical life!!

From all the love in Muskogee we love Abandon Kansas

[3homeskilletbiscuits]

BEST BAND EVER! I love how original you guys are. Thanks for pumping out awesome tunes that are UNIQUE. Love you guys. <3 <3 <3

[irohistheshiz]

thejayhawk91 your just jealous cause you've never been good at life

[wfrothefro]

I love this band. I saw them live in Orlando with HOH and they blew me away .Stop da hating @thejayhawk91 No one likes you :)

[TheJayhawk91]

shut up, nobody likes you frodo

[AbandonKansas]

ouch @thejayhawk91!

[TheJayhawk91]

this video sucks, this band sucks. why is this even on here?
