After listening to the rest of it, I have a few comments to expand on that: the bridge, particularly, reminds me of early Chicago; the verses suffer by comparison to the close-register harmony in the chorus, which is *very* nice, and the verses also suffer because the bassline isn't strong enough to overcome those brass blips, which are out of key to the the music they're playing behind, which would largely go away if the bass was more prominent, I think. A simple remix might well "fix" this.
@brockmannika never heard it. Im not real big in the cristian rock scene, but the little i have heard was pretty lame. ill have to check that one out that you just mentioned
@speakthetruthization what I preach? I'm a thirteen year old kid, I'm not preaching. I'm annoyed with you. I didn't take your initial comment out of context, I understand. You saw that some people were being unfriendly or dirty or mean, and because this is a video of a christian band you though that special rules applied to it, and that the people saying those things became less in God's eyes. I tried to give you a subtle hint with 4 words, and then a strong one with 4 paragraphs. Don't do that!
@ryank8843 this "kid" is a 27 yr old cartoon fan. Don't accept his superfluous speech and weak attempts to dominate you in conversation as anything more than just an attempt to feed his ego.
@chewp117 haha, the 27 is to get me into the adult rated videos and so my parents dont have to agree to my membership or whatever(and btw cartoons are awesome dont you dare say otherwise), I dont care what you think my age is tho. but chewp117 is right, I'm just poking a bear for the fun of it @speakthetruthization was just the easiest target, but I go on to religous videos with a multitude of accounts and start shit. I'm just a no good troll, can't say you guys havn't made it fun tho!!!
@ryank8843 hey you have to be careful being a troll now, a troll just got sent down for 4 years in the uk, i love freedom of speech, but thats what you get when you vote conservative
@speakthetruthization Finally considering that this is the internet, and users wield the power of anonymity, I suggest you a) dont waste too much time trying to, "inspire" people who clearly have a different faith and b) not be so easily tempted to respond to things that will merely waste your time, such as your "conversation" with me, I am very confident that neither of us will come out with any different beliefs.
@speakthetruthization also, the, "Fuck you" was for irony considering your comment, the Jesus Rulez with a "Z" was to demonstrate my loyalty and my emotional age. Finally the use of only four words was a sentiment to the philosophy, "Less is More" and finally the sorry at the end had to do with leaving the alter and first reconciling with my brother/sister in Christ, that my conscience might be better cleared.
@speakthetruthization Its just a word I wrote down, no filthy language came from my lips. Also, if I am not edified by your comment, then it is of little worth, more over I can not conceive of an atheist reading your comment and being moved in a direction towards Christianity, so if it does not edify Christians or Atheists, but is simply a finger wave, then I suggest you should worry about the chips in your own eyes for now.
I'm a fan of BriTANicK myself but it's not just the chorus for me that I like, I enjoy the entire song but the chorus is definitely my favourite part :) I don't entirely understand the verses (I really can't be bothered paying attention to the words, it's 3am right now and nor do I want someone explaining them to me). Pretty damn epic song.
All the comments about the verses "sucking" in comparison to the chorus are very strange to me. The chorus is SUPPOSED to be more kick-ass than the verses. This song is all about being aware of the hopelessness of man's condition, that even Biblical heroes like Peter and Paul were weak and sinful, but we find hope and joy in Jesus. If you don't feel this way, then yeah, the song will not be that good to you. I love it, always have, and I'm glad BritaNick reminded me of it.
Checked this out because of BriTANick like most, kinda disappointed with the song as a whole, nice chorus though, just awkward transitions from verse-chorus and poor chord structure overall.
All very constructive comments... But with them being a Christian band what's to stop this not being a valid reason? Sure it could be a coincidence, but that's no reason to suddenly attack a fellow Youtuber.
A "Fellow Youtuber"? Good sir, I do not know exactly what you have been smoking, but I would be very interested in learning where you procured it, so that I might obtain some for myself.
hey if yall like ska, there is a band the insyderz are making a new album with Reese Roper, lending his vocals for a song or so, if you want to back the project, just go to kickstarter(dot)com and search for 'the insyderz'
in the context of the whole entire song... I'm real perplexed as to why BritaNick used it in their closing "credits". I'm real grateful they DID pick it...but just confused.
@LethalLemonLime : who, Britanick? Never say never, I suppose, but their material is not very family friendly. Super freaking hilarious and awesome, but not good churchy stuff
@mowriter In fairness, not all Christians necessarily ascribe to the fundamentalist notion that anything that isn't completely wholesome and family friendly is by nature blasphemous.
Found this through Britanick videos- proving the music companies' draconian policies to be worthless. Now I'm going to check out more of their music and maybe purchase some of it...
Imagine if their label had been the idiots over at Warner Music Group and this video had been removed- I'd never have heard of them or any of their music.
@jboze3131 well, yes, you would have. You see, there's this thing called the internet. Pretty cool if I do say so myself, it's got these really cool and neat features, like search engines, just type some lyrics in, like, oh say "Can you here the bells are Ringing" and it will come up with stuff like "Five Iron Frenzy - Far, Far Away - Lyics/iTunes/Amazon Mp3" Crazy, Right. Ah, the stuff technology can do like giving a platform for idiots who have no understanding of IP rights and issues.
@elmepo232 very doubtful i'm going to purchase a song based on 5 seconds of it from another video. i'm much more likely to hear 5 seconds of it, search youtube, hear the entire song here, fall in love with the band, and then purchase their entire album and any future albums, buy tickets to their concerts, etc.
@elmepo232 Do you even understand what you're saying? My best guess is that you're arguing for jboze's point, although it seemed like you tried to discredit him with a completely irrelevant set of opinions. I'm not trying to be dismissive of your thoughts. I really am intrigued as to what you're trying to say.
I gave up on Christianity this year, but looking back and listening to all my old music, Five Iron Frenzy is still awesome. Some of the music I just listened to because it was "Christian" like I was supposed to be. Five Iron Frenzy, I listened to because it was good music.
@Grendelynden I gave up on religion a while ago too. I'm curious as to why you gave up on it. I stopped believing because I just started thinking about it and realized it didn't make any since. And I'm listening to this song because i like the chorus :)
I don't see how that just because this is a Christian song that it is not as good as it could be. With that very same logic you could argue that in a universe where non-Christian songs were considered strange that a song is not as good as it could be just because it is non-Christian. Just because a song is about something that you do not believe in does not make it worse, in fact, it should male it better because the songwriters put pride and joy into their work.
Wow I Reaaaally like this song, but I don't really like the horn-it makes it sound like the theme for a tween-ish sitcom. That was my only complaint. Other than that this could be one of my new favorite songs. :)
That's not true. This song, as with FIF's later stuff in general, is described by the band as "hard rock with horns." The true defining characteristic of ska is the off-beat "skank" guitar, which this doesn't have. Listen to their earlier stuff, with all the staccato up-strums. If you play that around anyone who knows what ska is, they'll immediately know it's ska. Ska horn lines could be part of an orchestral piece for all it matters. Rancid's Out Come The Wolves is mostly ska.
Reguardless whether its christian or not Reece Roper is an amazing writer and its nice to hear a band that doesnt just use 1 4 5 1 over and over. Judge music based on its quality not its inspiration
@wake9182 True! If God gave you a gift, I truely believe He wants us to be phenomenal at what we do. Five Iron Frenzy blends strong musical skill with a heart dedicated to Christ!
It surprises me that people can even say "This band/song would be cool/better if it wasn't Christian/about Jesus."
Artists sing about what inspires them, some sing about darker things some sing about happier things. If they make good music, does it really matter what they believe or what the "message" from the music is? Can't we just like a band for its musicality not what it believes?
I commend them for being able to say what they wanted and still make a great song from it.
@PiecesofEternity I tend to think that bands like FIF are of higher caliber because not only is the quality of their music really, really good, but their lyrics are also creative and convey a message other than that projected by most groups today. and, they aren't afraid to say they're Christian.
@GZUZFREEK2009 Catchy little tune. It's just so annoying how Christian bands have to make everything about Christianity, as though nothing can be fun or enjoyable if every other word isn't Jesus. That's boring, you know?

After listening to the rest of it, I have a few comments to expand on that: the bridge, particularly, reminds me of early Chicago; the verses suffer by comparison to the close-register harmony in the chorus, which is *very* nice, and the verses also suffer because the bassline isn't strong enough to overcome those brass blips, which are out of key to the the music they're playing behind, which would largely go away if the bass was more prominent, I think. A simple remix might well "fix" this.

I don't see how that just because this is a Christian song that it is not as good as it could be. With that very same logic you could argue that in a universe where non-Christian songs were considered strange that a song is not as good as it could be just because it is non-Christian. Just because a song is about something that you do not believe in does not make it worse, in fact, it should male it better because the songwriters put pride and joy into their work.

@NadirDbouk What do you mean "ruined a good song," they wrote it. Christian lyrics ruined the song, psh, some people are so close-minded...

Wow I Reaaaally like this song, but I don't really like the horn-it makes it sound like the theme for a tween-ish sitcom. That was my only complaint. Other than that this could be one of my new favorite songs. :)

@BroadwayQ09 the horn is needed for it to be in the genre of ska...

@simple1210
That's not true. This song, as with FIF's later stuff in general, is described by the band as "hard rock with horns." The true defining characteristic of ska is the off-beat "skank" guitar, which this doesn't have. Listen to their earlier stuff, with all the staccato up-strums. If you play that around anyone who knows what ska is, they'll immediately know it's ska. Ska horn lines could be part of an orchestral piece for all it matters. Rancid's Out Come The Wolves is mostly ska.

Reguardless whether its christian or not Reece Roper is an amazing writer and its nice to hear a band that doesnt just use 1 4 5 1 over and over. Judge music based on its quality not its inspiration

@PiecesofEternity Look at FIF's other songs. Try something like Wizard Needs Food Badly or Let's go to Canada

It surprises me that people can even say "This band/song would be cool/better if it wasn't Christian/about Jesus."
Artists sing about what inspires them, some sing about darker things some sing about happier things. If they make good music, does it really matter what they believe or what the "message" from the music is? Can't we just like a band for its musicality not what it believes?
I commend them for being able to say what they wanted and still make a great song from it.

@PiecesofEternity I tend to think that bands like FIF are of higher caliber because not only is the quality of their music really, really good, but their lyrics are also creative and convey a message other than that projected by most groups today. and, they aren't afraid to say they're Christian.

@GZUZFREEK2009 Catchy little tune. It's just so annoying how Christian bands have to make everything about Christianity, as though nothing can be fun or enjoyable if every other word isn't Jesus. That's boring, you know?
