Relient K Band • Page 19

Huh. I'm pretty sure it's basically like a song about asking God to free him from his sin. I don't know, I feel like the lyrics point to something like that, but I might just be assuming since it's Relient k too. I'm curious, what do you think of it as?

 

I found Relient K through church, so it's always been churchy to me

 

Never underestimate my Jesus. You're telling me that there's no hope. I'm telling you you're wrong.

 

I can absolutely see that side of it now and I think that's what the intent was but I never took that from it. I guess because I'm not religious I usually don't put that to the songs unless he specifically says god or jesus, haha. Just felt like a song about a girl or something, haha.

 

Yeah, except for the first few albums, I usually translate the religious lyrics to a relationship. I think he intentionally leaves them pretty ambiguous.

 

Interesting. I've never actually heard that about Be My Escape. I'm not really religious, but I definitely found out about Relient k because my religious background (my parents wouldn't let me listen to anything "not Christian"). I probably assume more stuff is religious than most people due to that.

 

Neither did I. That's really never something I think about.

Edit: yeah, your last post about this I completely agree with

 

I'm just gonna keep saying that Give is at least a top 10 RK song, maybe top 5.

 

I knew this band through church way back but I got bored of them. As soon as FANSD got released I was a fan again haha.

 

I'm amazed that we have been talking about Give for so long. Ha

 

I am stubborn and will keep talking about it.

 

dude, literally about to post this same thing

 

I heard "Be My Escape" thru a friend, got into the band during the Mmhmm days and never looked back.

And I'm an atheist, but the religious references have never made me some cynical prick haha. Matt is a straight up incredible songwriter and that's what made me keep coming back. I don't give a shit if they make a straight up worship album - if the hooks are there, I'll give it a spin.

 

Same, Deathbed, Getting Into You & When I Go Down still gives me the chills during their climaxes.

 

Yeah, I'll always think of this thread now when I listen to Give. Hahaha!

 

I would say Give is one of their worst songs but since that includes most of Collapsible Lung padding it from the bottom I don't think it's awful, just mediocre. it's so straightforward.

 

Spun this today. Sounds great.

 

You all make me some combination of sad and angry

 

Is that the brown repress? And if so, does it will have the etching on side D?

 

I have the brown repress, and it does.

 

Right on, thanks!

 

I just have a lot of feelings

 

Just let 'em all out, buddy. This is a no judge area


(unless you really like CL, then everyone will judge you)

 

Hahaha, no chance. A third of it is pretty good
