My Son died on Dec. 22, '11 He was 32 yrs old 8 days shy of turning 33. I heard this song on the way home from his funeral and I Love This Song !! I said they could have played this song at the funeral and it would have been perfect. It would definitely have everyone's eyes wet. God Pulled Him From a Dark Place, He Pulled Him Closer To Love! I Love You Michael !

This song reminds me of a girl, I really like. Practically love. She makes me so happy, just talking to her. Every time I hear this I smile. Even though, I know I probably wont be able to date her.....This song makes me happy. :3

[sherlyfrancois]

@makingfiendsfan why cant't you date her ?

[makingfiendsfan]

@sherlyfrancois She's dating someone else. 

[makingfiendsfan]

@sherlyfrancois She's dating someone else.

[benaalena11]

im learning this song on my piano <3

[FLAMINGPICKLES]

@benaalena11 by ear? or sheet music? i cant find this sheet music anywhere

[ittshannah]

i love how he can rap and he puts it into his songs with a soft melody. he is just so talented :)

[muzikfreak11298]

i LOVE this song...my boyfriend says it reminds him of mee(:

[nanomf]

U people should listen to closer by Shawn McDonald

[23zann]

@nanomf

ahh! love that song!! my sister is dating him! He is an incredible person and a incredible singer!!! :)

[nanomf]

If all of u guy and girls like this than stop listening to rock music

[flullyprincess]

@nanomf I love rock music and i love songs like these too . The music i listen to depends on my mood.

[TheJacquelineNewton]

Honestly, I think it's about Heaven, and how he meets this girl who has had such a hard life, and ends up falling in love with her and they both end up believing in God and then looking forward to spending eternity together :) just a hunch considering Mat's a Christian himself :)

[sabin722]

@TheJacquelineNewton i heard this song on a christian station....it can mean so many things...when he is saying "your light".."your way" and "pull me out of the dark"..."to show me the way"..."cryin out now" ...i feel he's acknowledging God! it could be speaking of someone that passed "im gonna get there soon"..."she's gonna be there too"..."we're gonna get their soon".... It is a spiritual song for me!

[bnbsmith07]

@sabin722 I agree with you, It depends what a person is going through, a song can mean 1,000 diff reasons.. This song picks me up when I am down.. And it has helped me through some rough times.. I believe its about both, someone who has passed away, and how you have to keep your faith!! have a awesome day!!

[sabin722]

@bnbsmith07 thanks, and you too!

[DJMimzy]

i dont think this song is about 9/11, i think it's basically about a girl he loves who has had a hard life (lost loved ones, abused, whatever) and he wants to make her feel happy and whole again. i think the smoke and buildings thing is more just poetics.

[Karlyannelovesyou12]

Its like 2 people have no heart...I mean listen to that gorgeous voice! :D

[SuzanneB215]

I love this song. Go Jesus!!!! Go Matt!!!

[TibbsHTv]

God, he is amazing live<3



[azim6478]

[TheHbrowning]

There is one girl that is pulling me closer to love. She is all i have waited for and I love her so much.

[schaap200]

[mcrisgoncalves2010]

@bnbsmith07 ... I feel for your loss ... I am Brazilian and I love this song but you made me understand it in another sense .... stay well and be happy ..... life is a cycle. His mother can hear you

[bnbsmith07]

@mcrisgoncalves2010 Thank You, Means a lot!! Your Awesome! :-)

[zwinkycrashes]

i love 0:00 to 3:37 xDD

[charlie13399]

OMFG I LOVE THIS SONG

[Squeaky199797]

This song makes me realize how much I'll miss the people I go to school with.

[WoodLouseFace]

I first heard this song the day after I met the girl of my dreams.

[jrbburg]

I feel like this song was written specifically to me from the love of my life, who is from Green Bay, WI. It's awesome, and I love it!

[missjannp]

@GoYanks18 - He said in interviews that the song just occurred to him because everything can change in one moment. All of us are only one step away from our entire life changing, whether those changes are good or bad. I think it also includes the idea of those true friends/partners who help you through those major changes because they love you. Although I can see how it would be applied to 9/11 if you think about it that way, too. One thing I love about his music is it's unversality.

[GoYanks18]

is this song about 9/11?

[BiLLaBoNgx0x0x]

"And don't apologize for all the tears you've cried. You've been way too strong now for all your life."

[HarvestMoonWish]

I love this. <3333333 And it's shoulder the weight. :P But whatever. Still <33333.

[kyleisdaFreak]

[audwad]

[Citroion68]

His voice might not be the best

but its the way he sings with feelings that makes each song so magical

the way it is

<3

[BonBon096]

[181Spin]

You pull me out of the dark just to show me the way I love the song Thanks for the lyrics

[dreamflyer333]

Thank you to my boyfriend who is always pulling me closer to love and more. <3

[sullustanmel]

@dreamflyer333 you know this is a christian song right?

[dreamflyer333]

@sullustanmel - Yes, I know but that doesn't mean it still doesn't remind me of other forms of love. Of course God is always first, but He sometimes sends people along in our life that show us different forms of love that help us along. ^^

[sullustanmel]

@dreamflyer333 true

[JAY00230]

this iz one of my fav songs i lisent to it when im confused wich is often because im only a teenager........lol

[gsheprules525]

and dont apologize for all the tears you've cried you've been way too strong now for all your life <3 describles me so much..

[j787656]

"And dont apologize

For all the tears youve cried

Youve been way too strong now

For all your life"

she always was the strongest one of us

</3

[Exterlite]

What a great song. No profanity or anything and it sounds beautiful! Awesome tune!

[oganga111]

[lulubelle747]

[DEMIFAN01]

[forevertulip]

[sullustanmel]

@forevertulip this is acctualy a christian song

[TheKLNL01]

praise god

[tinkerbella9076]

wait is this really about god?

or can it like go both ways?

[sullustanmel]

@tinkerbella9076 what do you mean both ways? and its kinda cool because it souds grate, and is a christian song.

[MrHans210]

karina i love you come back to me ;(

[BeautyMnts]

It's about a guy and a girl who were apart forever but they knew, in their hearts they were supposed to be together. She finally got the call from him that she prayed to god she would get, one day... And now they can finally be together. :)

[xxxHaley418xxx]

If all the buildings fall and all the stars fade we'll still be singing this song the one they can't take away. Love that part!

[gailnaphi12]

"Lord come through" i need you......

[EVANESENCEfan100]

where we could feel the storm blowing down wit the wind....beautiful song about love, joy, and light.

[Sandfur17]

i was like: Hes' singing about death?

[Sandfur17]

^_^

[deadrevolver2004]

I like this song and I live in Michigan :P

[TheKLNL01]

i love this song keep prazing god!!!!

[Sandfur17]

@TheKLNL01 Praise god~

[TheKLNL01]

this is my fav song in the world other the taylor swift love story and the motions

[PIERENCUR]

I think Mat Kearney suffers from love , maybe because he once loved this girl and didn't have the chance to tell her and now she's probably gone somewhere else or is no way to be found . And he really regrets not telling her how he feels ..

like , it makes me sad just thinking of it ! .. : (

[pianox12]

1:01 - 1:05 the lyrics are wrong. you pull me out of the dark just to shoulder the weight.

[PeaceLoveLife9090]

@pianox12 umm. noo. she/he has it right.

[Lariosari]

Very goooooooooood especially the beat

[tasteofcolor]

I love this song so much! =D The beat of it is cute. x) He's one of my favorite singers ever. His songs are so beautiful. And he's got a good voice. ^^

[lovelaughing4]

[peanut0518]

Mat Kearney inspires us to surrender to God. The light of Jesus "pulls us closer to Love". The eternal love of God. Rejoice in the name of The Lord.

[xxGod101xx]

ii love this song...ii think that this song means that GOD...is going to call us all one day...and some people are goin' to answer and some are just goin' to ignore which do you want to do...answer the call or just hang up and...walk away from GOD'S love

[7ponandzi]

i think that your right ive never thought of it that way but now youve opened my eyes to that point.

your a deep thinker.

[xxGod101xx]

yea. i was just settin' here readin' comments and i was like some people know what they are talkin' about. but are they goin' to answer to GOD one day or ignore it.

[Mego819]

this song is great i believe that it tell people to use what they have and make sure they hold on to it be for it goes away
