@priccyy97 that is what the song is about, House of heros put a little bio up on youtube about the song and it says that they got inspiration directly from Jacob and Esau
This song is simply an amazing, beautiful song. The music video is well put as well. I love the line "and for the first time I could see that God was not my enemy". The whole song is based off of Jacob from the Old Testament. I'd like to believe that this is their greatest song and that none others are comparable. Am I wrong?
This is what music is all about. But because of how dumb people are, you will never hear this on the radio or never see this band get the recognition they deserve because this music makes people think. And we're in a time where people have forgotten what music really is. You can feel the emotion behind the lyrics and feel it through the music. This songs makes me feel like I'm part of it.
@salukistyle ...I only know of this song because I heard it on the radio lol. I love this song though its amazing. That's something we can both agree on.
Love the clip... LOVEIT LOVEIT LOVEIT LOVEIT! ... and the music... and the band... and the lyrics... and the clip... did I already mention I love that clip?
they are so nice in person. my youth pastor lived with each of them at some point, and i'm classmates with josh (a temp who's now in something else) 's younger brother. go c-bus!
House of Heroes is one of those bands that deserves more attention than they get...this is really good, creative music. Pure ingenuity in the lyrics and composition...really beautiful!
@IOwnTheStreets Every song by them. Start with Field of Daggers and then listen to Code Name: Raven. Look up Say No More, The End is Not the End, or Suburba and and pick any song from the track listing, they're all great. That dude's name is Tim, btw. The bassist is AJ, the guitarist is Jared and the drummer is Colin.
@MegaPocketninja As a bass (not base) player I really appreciated the use of the double bass. Nice touch. The tapes on the bass, however, made it look like the kind you use in 4th grade when you're just getting used to the instrument. But I will never ask someone to take out a bass. :)
I didn't realize this was a Christian band at first but I kinda figured it out by the lyrics... but anyway, I don't care for most bands like this but these guys are pretty good. Cool band name too...
The best part of this video is 2:30 the mixture between the change in music, video shots and editing, and the realization of what had occurred are really good.
the lyrics from part 2:59 and on hit me in my chest like the power of Christ is in me and it reminds me before i think about fighting someone think who will be killed one day? you or him,maybe both?
This is probably one of the most awkward songs ever, but on the other hand it is an amazing song. I do believe that i have found another epic band to add to my favorites list.
haha, woww, i've watched this a million times, and i just realized that when he was sticking the gun in the ground, he was marking the man's grave. yeah...im stupid XD
@frederikdegraaf haha, I agree. I actually like HoH now, don't get me wrong. But since Relient K has been around before, I tend to compare some of HoH's vocals to that of Relient K. This song is a PRIME example of that glorious kind of falsetto which Relient K was a major part of making famous IMHO (in terms of in Rock music in the last decade).
House of Heroes is amazing... straight up. Their diversity is what makes them who they are! They don't sound the same for every song that they do. Every album has a different sound to it and THAT'S what makes them amazing. House of Heroes 4 life!
@spongebobgeekable the main soldier is like Jacob in The Bible who carries a lifelong burden; Jacob's burden was the birthright that he took from his brother Esau, the soldier's burden is the lives of the soldiers he's killed in self defense... Jacob wrestles the angel, and the soldier wrestles his enemy. Both Jacob and the soldier find peace when they face their burden... this is what i think the lyrics and the video mean
@josue7427 Jacob's burden was the birthright? What do you mean? does that mean..... Jacob stole Esaus' gift that Isaac was about to hand down to Esau before Jacob and his mom made the soup and covered Jacob in animal hair, so that way his father would think its Esau? Is that what you mean by that?
@speechless00 yes thats what im referring to... however what he "stole" from Esau was not a gift, it was the blessing of the firstborn to inherit his father's responsibility as the leader of God's people. this is why Jacob feared returning to his homeland because he would have to face his brother, just as the soldier in the video was running from his enemy to avoid facing his recent past as a soldier
@josue7427 thanks man az waz tryin to fig it out n think you've hit the nail on the head, siblin! <3 to YOU thru the one whom izzz LOVE, CHRIST JESUS!!! Thanks I'll post thiiis on me wall-skii'z on fb. sis Tan=)
