[ChristisGain]

STOKED FOR THE NEW ALBUM! It's GONNA BE SICK! I'll be "needentobreathe" all summer till it comes out.

[castromusicfreak]

I love this song! Can't wait for the new album! Awesome footage and sound!! Love how you show all the guys! Thanks so much for sharing!

[vstiger07]

@castromusicfreak Thanks! I've gotta admit, your needtobreathe videos are my favorite on the internet. And yeah, I try not to be a lead singer fanboy. :) All four guys are so cool and they deserve equal camera time.

[hillswizzle]

is this...real life? seriously, this just makes me want to be friends with you guys. what studs.

[teles11tt]

what does this song mean? The lyrics are great. Great job. Just trying to figure out the meaning of the song. Can't wait for the new album. They put on great shows

@teles11tt

I should probably preface this comment by saying this is a Christian band. That said...this song is about living as people here on Earth, yet knowing you were meant to live in a far greater place. The "Devil is talking" title refers to constant temptations (and reminders of our own past failures) to try to get us to choose the world over our calling (as Christians).

As I said though, even if you're not a Christian, this is a solid band. God bless!

Lyrics, cont'd... Hiding out, so alone, it feels bad down to the bone. I can't move, the sun is cold, For it seems this is home. Bag of bones and blood red sheets, Guilty from the words I speak. Say the truth will set you free, What do you want from me? The devil's been talkin.

[bmatteson11]

@speeddemon29853 Wow! Good job interpreting that. I think you're pretty close. I kept hearing "Battle wounds and blood red sheets..." Haha!

[speeddemon29853]

@bmatteson11

Yeah, it's close. What he sings here isn't exactly what I have. He seems to mix the bridge up a bit in the videos. What I have is what is sung at the show in Sweden. There's a vid of that somewhere on here. And it's a bit easier to understand. I'm going to be at a show here in South Carolina on Saturday so I'll see if what I have down there stands up to what's sung at the concert.

@speeddemon29853

The lyrics are battered bones an blood red cheeks, guilty from the words I speak, say the truth will set you free, what do you want from me. The next verse starts with I'm uneasy in my skin, hanging on by a thread. After that I'm not sure what he says but it doesn't really matter. Everything he sings sounds great.

Lyrics... Bag of bones and blood red sheets, Guilty from the words I speak. Say the truth will set you free, What do you want from me? I'm uneasy in my step, Hangin on by a thread. Life, it hasn't left me yet, but I won't forget... The devil's been talkin, the devil is talkin. Ship is sailing out to sea, but it's sailing without me, I can't help but feel I'm home, I've been born to see.. The devil's been talkin, the devil is talkin.

[stoffasuave]

Awesome. Can't wait for the new album and the concert in St Louis!!

[FighterOfTheFoo93]

Can anybody tell what that first line is that he says?

[t2fastalon]

@FighterOfTheFoo93

I've been trying to figure it out for the past hour!

[FighterOfTheFoo93]

@t2fastalon

I love Bear's voice, but sometimes he's really hard to understand! Oh well. I guess we'll have to wait until the next album (or a better video) comes out! :D

[vstiger07]

@FighterOfTheFoo93 I don't think the quality of the video is lacking... Pretty sure it's just Bear's signature snarl. ;)

[FighterOfTheFoo93]

@vstiger07 yeah.... I realized that "better" isn't what I meant to say... Mostly I meant Another video where maybe he'll sing it a little differently.

haha. Snarl... Never thought to put it that way! :)

[FighterOfTheFoo93]

@vstiger07 Oh, no, I'm not saying the video's bad, I just meant one that's easier to understand. Plus he is over driving the camera mic a little bit, so that doesn't help!

Haha, Snarl. Never heard put that way before. :P

[selinamarie7]

overheard this song during a soundcheck in Atlanta last month. AMAZING!

[bmcdnb8484]

Oh, and lemme add... I can't freakin WAIT to hear this live.

[bmcdnb8484]

Love. That is all. :)

[Psalmist100]

I like this version

[Jesuslovesmeyay]

Ah I can't wait to hear this live!!

great video :))

[kerimitch]

Absolutely excellent. Thank you so much for sharing this.

[brndnknr]

it must be the 1080p!

[vstiger07]

@brndnknr Must be! Hahaha. 

[beckster777]

I can't wait to read the lyrics of this song. It sounds killer...the music is great...Bear's vocals are beyond tremendous as usual...Bo's banjo solo is muscular (had to say it)... seriously though...excellent....this band is seriously off the chain! Thanks for posting!

[vstiger07]

@beckster777 Definitely a great band. Bear told my friend that we can expect a new album in about a year.

[crgleckler]

@vstiger07 and BO said they will be back on tour in the spring! Can't wait to see them again in St. Louis next week and Indianapolis in Dec. Such great guys!

[chrispix24]

I am loving this new song...thank you for posting this! I think it's the clearest version I've heard so far :)

[vstiger07]

@chrispix24 Not a problem. It's a little bit different than the other versions that are up since it was an acoustic show, but glad you enjoy it. :)
