This is really GREAT, I love to see people use their talents for The Lord!

Are the backgrounds colored in with markers?

@Cryofdragon --> I'm glad you like the song "Dandelions", but it IS specifically Christian in content and lyrics. "Lord search my heart,create in me something clean..." paraphrase parts of Psalms 51 and 139. The lyrics talk about God's love for us and our response to Him as His children. FIF put out many songs that were not specifically Christian in content or lyrics, but this isn't one of them.

One of my all-time favorite FIF songs. FIF was (and now IS, hooray) a unique Christian ska band that my three sons enjoyed; we had all their releases. My oldest son's wedding date happened to coincide with FIF's last appearance in our area in 2003, so his brothers and friends all jokingly threatened to ditch the wedding and go to the concert! @TheWookieWorks--> that's just the lead singer's style, a part of the band's style, which was very different for the time.

Who else saw Ben Carr at 1:48?

@TheWookieWorks I think people who know this band grew up with them, so you're unlikely to get an unbiased answer haha. I honestly think its just their style. His voice is as essential to their sound as the horn section. It's good clean Ska.

[TheWookieWorks]

I really don't know much about this band, but my general feeling about this song is that the singer's voice was not properly utilized in the vocals. The entire time, it seemed on the edge of his range, and very stressed. I am not musically knowledge at all, but I do think that his voice might be better suited for higher notes. I enjoyed the lyrics very much, but the signing got in the way a bit, because of the stress portrayed in the voice. What do you think?

@Hotislandoffshore I'm an athiest as well, and I have to say, I agree but disagree. I'm of the opinion that if they make music I really like, they're a great band, period. One of the things I really like here is that many of their messages aren't specifically Christian. This song is the perfect example. It's about seeing beauty where others might miss it. It speaks to me because I do it all the time myself. With the exception of a couple lines about the lord, and it sums up my feelings exactly.

Hey guys, FIF announced that they are making a new album and a possible tour. They are raising money for it. Find out more information on where to donate on Five Iron Frenzy's website

@Hotislandoffshore Fair enough,

At least your not one of those douche bags that hate on a band because of that.

@Roflmao0001

Because in some songs they are singing "jesus mmmm jeeeesus mmm sjeeeezuz" and I can´t listen to that without feeling slightly ill. Thats sad but I really like all the other songs so I just skip the Jesus songs.
