@Mixedmusic77 I agree with Mixedmusic77. I do still think that it would be best if you found the one and only true god in you'r life. But, our music is not just for us. I believe that you can listen to whatever you want to. Even if you are not a christian you can enjoy our music just fine. You'r friend is obviously either haveing a hard time communicateing with you, or is just seriously mistaken.
its a metaphor. how one person can damage another person for the rest of their life. The alcoholic father forces the kid to run away into the woods and hide in a tree, and even after the father fixes himself, the kid is still lost and grows old that way. In the end it shows that a lot of people in the trees.
first song i heard from Blindside a few years ago. played all the time then on TVU and just every other song that ive heard gets better and better. Fell in Love with the Game, Pitiful, and All of Us main ones....yeah, since they have music vids for them.
@MrIvan72 I think this song is about Christian's (the lead singer) past. Like, maybe he's the boy in the drawings and when he says "The boy is gone" he means that he had to grow up faster then he should have because of his dad. And how he's not forgotten by God and that cheers him up.
This video is so great, the drawings can pour out the emotion that was attempting to send out, and the story as well - which, sadly, is very realistic these days - , giving the lyrics much more meaning and the tune fits the atmosphere of it all perfectly.
I found them very recently through P.O.D., and I can say right now that Blindside are amazing! Seriously, everyone should listen to them, they've got truly enjoyable material.
very few good hardcore bands.. best of all would have to be august burns red as far as breakdowns and riffs.. blindside is awesome and underoath of course.. other then that the only two super talented "christian" bands would be as cities burn and mewithoutyou.. two of the most possibly creative bands out there.. simply amazing..
@newidenityguitarizt none of the bands you listed are hardcore.theyre metalcore.if you want a good hardcore band then listen to Black Flag.but i think that As I Lay Dying are the best metalcore band today.
@coheed0000 too stressed?? I dont get that? he has a bigger range, the high scream and then the low deep growl.. oh sleeper sounds just like norma jean, atleast his scream.. and like most other metal bands they have a singer also..
and how does oh sleeper top any christian band?? because they don't even come close to abr. their riffs are nothing crazy. they are just a plain metal band. didn't seem like anything special to me. no crazy breakdowns or riffs..
Norma Jean released one album; Bless the martyr, Kiss the Child. Everything else has been a crappy band devoid of the emotion of the original. Yes, I am a grumpy old curmudgeon.
Both admirable bands, but they have absolutely NOTHING on Blindside. Blindside is in a class all their own. A very distinctive sound that takes people away to another place. Very different songs from the every day boring norm.
I have to disagree. This songs good, silense is good, and pitiful is fucking amazing. But Pillar and Thousand Foot Krutch just got to me, there songs are more catchy.
this band has shocked me with how awesome they are.if this "god" fellow inspired this beautiful i might have to think more seriously about christianty.
look up mewithoutyou too. that and im guessing you would like demon hunter. 2 very good bands that are christians.... i consider those 2 bands and blindside better than most bands religious or not.
I think the people in the tree's are a symbolism for people hiding away from there problems. I still find my self making new reason's for stuff though
I liked this video quite a bit, it was original. And I am so glad it is not just some random Youtube person trying to make a video and ending up ruining this beautiful song. There is nothing like the original, you have to admit that.
I wasn't going to watch all of it, but then the pictures sucked me into them, and I had to see more.very original, and I like the song. <==={---------------
omg. u serious? happened to me 2. i was so ready to click another video, but the pictures were so captivating and it told a story like nothing else i've ever seen.
This is the greatest band ever. This is the greatest song ever. Yes, I have seen them live and they are incredible. Their lyrics constantly echo my passion for Christ. Amen!
