I wonder (for the Christian posters having a hard time with Marc's choices), what do (each one of) you do for a living? Is it 100% Christian and 100% glorifying to God? As my brother so often tells me when I am judging MYSELF: "What gives YOU the RIGHT to judge another mans servant?" I am not my own. You are not your own. We ALL are HIS, and He judges rightly ... and doesn't need help. We really need to focus on our own plank ... But do this: LOVE one another, in all we say and do.
My two thumbs are definitely way up! Marc's audition tape for the Queen Extravaganza Tribute may have brought me here, but it's Downhere's great music that keeps me coming back for more. I love Queen, but since I lbelieve that the heart has the ability to produce an infinite amount of love, I'm directing some of that in Downhere's direction. ;-)
Awesome song! Love this! To see photos from Downhere's performance in Southern California's Worshipfest, see Julianne Gentry Photography page on Facebook. October 21, 2011
@TheAlfahDj - I came across that video soon after this one. Good stuff! I was a teen when Queen first came into the spotlight. My buddies and I were the only ones into Queen. We felt like we had discovered them, obviously there were tons of others getting into them at that time. Per some of the lyrics, I think Freddie was searching for God. Same with Yes and Kansas songs-some members later produced Christian songs. Mark Farner of Grand Funk Railroad redid Some Kind of Wonderful to glorify God.
I arrive at these videos because I saw the video perfomance of marc for queen extravaganza… but there am shortage to a phenomenal band in its style and with excellent songs… now they need the great album makes that take them all the grammys… marc goes to abrillar with own light if that gains extravaganza… hopefully does not mean that it must leave his friendly…
@MrJacksonpaulick Marc's not a backup singer; he and Jason are equal leads. And neither of them would likely have a singing career if it weren't for the other.
Keep doing what you do guys....God has blessed you all with amazing gifts. Don't forget what got you to this point and never lose sight of that..Bless you all.
Marc's ability to mimic Freddie's nuance of interpretation on Somebody to Love is awesome and ethereal. Freddie had overtones of operatic persuasion also, especially on Rhapsody. Marc seems to embody all Freddie's great gifts reborn, but not to take anything away from Marc. Just that we miss the great music from Freddie and now we have the promise of more. Thanks Marc and now you can take it to higher levels than we ever thought possible. Blessings and much success for all.
Yeah man, no offense to the "lead singer" but the guitar players voice screams! That dude cooks! Break out of the doldrums of the Christian rock genre and let that man lead you all to mega stardom. That man is gifted.
@callmebiased Yes! It's 1am and I am watching every Downhere's vids because of MM, but I admit I've fallen in love with their music already!! Let's spread these guys' talents esp. MM!
I like this song, its just not very original... Plus you guys totally have the wrong guy singing. Marc should be your lead singer, his voice is way more powerful and drives the music, just compare the end to the beginning of the song.
@ScottandSelena I get what you're saying but the styles are totally different and you can feel the song being way more driven by marc's voice. the face of the matter is that marc is an overall better singer and has a much wider range
@andyzza1 That's kind of like the whole Paul Mccartney and John Lennon thing. They are both good just different. I prefer Marc myself but I kind of thing having the two of them play off each other makes hearing Marc that much more sweeter.
If you haven't already, you should check out the Centricity U video featuring Downhere. It's pretty funny :) Unfortunately I can't add a link to the video, but search for "Centricity U. Downhere." Hope you like it!
They would be good, just get rid of the Keyboard guy and or tell him to stop singing. My Lord he ruins the talent they have. The other guy singing can sing and carry the weight.
Downhere's new album, "On the Altar of Love," comes out August 23, 2011. They just recorded a new video about the meaning behind their new album, so you should definitely check it out! Unfortunately I can't add a link to the video, but search for "Downhere EPK" on YouTube. Hope you like it!
Thank you Jesus Christ for helping to form this band...what an awesome group of guys using their talent for you!!!! The song "Here I Am" is great (as is this one) and is so descriptive of how we all feel from time to time. Thank you Heavenly Father for EVERYTHING!!!!!
@3amtimetosleep I absolutely agree, they are an apple and orange cocktail! Where have these guys been all my life? If it wasn't for Queen I'd never have found them.
This group is AWESOME!!! Had them play at youth rally Answer the Call in Pell City Alabama. AWESOME!!!!!! They will be at Camp Sumatanga on April 30th with Rush of Fools. I can't wait to see them again!!!! stephanie
people say christians say turn or burn to much. i say sence its the truth it can not be overstated jesus is hope without him you have no hope of getting into heavan let alone the promise of it. if the truth hurts thats life. people pray the athiests who are anti christian on the music video rebirthes comments. and yes its skillet. but still pray they find God.
the first downhere's album i'm listening is : How Many Kings Songs For Christmas in december 2010, i really like their song :), the songs is really awesome. and then i try to search their other album. all of their album is awesome too, i really likes all the songs their singing!!! since then, Downhere become one of my Favourite Christian Band.
@deathstar92987 That's Marc Martel...Search his name and you will see that he loves Queen and actually does a few Queen cover tunes with this band. Marc is amazing.
This song could not come at a better time in my life. Going through a divorce that is not wanted... It's comforting to know He's here with me even when it seems as if no one else is.
I am sorry you are going through a divorce, I will keep you in my prayers. God will put just the right people in your life to help you through these times, if you just ask! Keep looking to the Lord and you will make it through.
Music with a deep Christian message. The musicianship is excellent! The message is unparalleled! Sometimes, the truth hits the heart much stronger when ensconced in harmony and melody. It is a small measure of God's magnificence made tangible in music. God be praised and God bless and keep you all!!!
