I'm glad I was 16-20 y/o in that era of time. Soo many good bands in the post-hardcore sound back then. 2007-2011 was the creme de la creme for the good post-hardcore sound. After that it was too chugga chugga and most bands either quit or started losing the melody aspect of the genre and the sound changed. Props to Agraceful. Music is timeless. Cheers, guys.
I have loved this song for years. It helps me so much when I'm going through hard times. It is such a great reminder that God will always be there even if you feel like he is not. We are all part of a story, and even when shitty things happen we can always count on the fact that God has a reason for it all and won't desert us. It's sad that Chris has lost so much of his faith, but at the same time I completely understand what it is like. I'm still fighting with my faith and still angry at God for feeling like he has been ignoring me, but these lyrics still hold so much truth and remind me that he is still there and hasn't left me. He has a reason for allowing me to struggle with the things I struggle with and I look forward to growing and overcoming those struggles and continuing my story with Christ at the center!
My God so desperately I watched them calling for You To bring down Your hands To make this all okay To make us whole again And now so desperately I have been calling for You To bring down Your hands To make this all okay To bring me home And He said I will carry you home again, home tonight I will carry you to let you fly, to let you fly And now so desperately I have been waiting for You To bring down Your hands To make this all okay To make me whole again I know that this is the way I know that this is the way You planned for it I will carry you home again, home tonight I will carry you to let you fly, to let you fly I will carry you home again, home tonight I will carry you to let you fly, to let you fly
real talent. he puts so much feeling in his voice. i mean he could sing about a hot dog with this voice and i could cry ;_; that proves he is amazing in my opinion at least c:
I have never been religious; I was turned away from being super into church by the greed and mistreatment of those with less to give (me) now I'm 22, completely set in my mind and happy with myself, Philosopical, happy, fair, loving, and I will FOREVER love this song. Good music is good music, you don't have to associate like or dislike with their beliefs, because people do that enough already.
Everytime I listen this song I remember my sweet baby Matt Paquette,I can't describe what I feel, I'm always listening this music snd crying at the same time. RIP Matt,you didn't deserve what they did to you,but that was your choice,you choose to leave us forever,but u'll always be there,in our hearts,so this music make me sad but happy at the same time because it reminds me when you were happy and when you were alive....
Mia Sykes I found out about him through Tumblr back in the start of 2012. Beheading Of A King's debut album is legendary because of Matt. I feel for you. I wish I could've known him
Chris went to high school with me briefly, and [years later] my college friend had a familiar shirt that Chris always wore and I was asked where he got it and then I found out where Chris went after he left my high school!
He's showing emotion cuz he's singing about jesus christ:] I don't know if you've noticed but christians show alot of emotion when they embrace god. There's alot of feeling behind worshiping god guys:] It's breath taking.
How could I forget about this awsome project that Agraceful was, and especially about this beautiful song. Thank YTB recomendations, good to know that you actually work well.
Personally, I think his screams are fucking amazing. The band is great but they're nothing fascinating. Typical post-hardcore. I wish they brought something new to the table. Plus, (I should probably look his name up) the lead vocalist runs out of breath really really easily when performing live.
Agraceful was on Sumerian. Once fulfilling their contract or whatever and splitting ways, Chris joined Emarosa and got signed to Rise, but left shortly after being signed so after leaving Rise signed him in LMTF so he could fulfill his contract with them. That's what I've been told at least.
He was actually in emarosa first. He was in the first ep they released as a "emarosa" in 2007 and then he left them and joined agraceful then lmtf. Smh
This poor man, Chris Roetter. This song is so uplifting and beautiful, but now his music is so dark and angry. I love both this and his music with Like Moths to Flames, but gosh, he just sounds so hurt. I can only imagine the pain he had to have felt to bring such a 180 like that. Such a good vocalist, then AND now. I will be following his music everywhere he goes, but I am truly hoping he one day finds the hope and joy of Christ again.
this "scene" was filled with fake christian bands, as i lay dying being the biggest lie, Chris is no different, once the christian scene died out, he signed with his actual band and came out as the junkie he really is, always drunk and stoned
His music was uplifting with Agraceful, now his music reflects pain, hurt, and death. This is a fact. No I don't know him, but its clear to me that something in his life brought about that change. But sure, I"m egotistical....
Although, I am not a firm believer in the Christian GOD. I do agree with you. Humanity was bound for failure from the start, our EGO and drive to "better" ourselves has lead us all astray.
uhm ok wow ive heard chris roetter songs and a few other bands hes been in but ive never heard of this band nor have i ever heard of this song and wow all i can say is that this guy is absolutely amazing his voice... I just absolutely love this song now. i just cant believe ive never heard of it before i never knew he was such a spiritual person. reminds me of underoath or flyleaf.
UNGIRTHED OBEDEAR I remember my first reaction when I heard a music flyleaf " 1:00 no longer just a normal singer ... 2:00 My God this is sensational thousands"
Zu schön um es in Worte zu fassen..Gesang,Video,Mimik des Sängers,Gestik der Band..Einfach nur episch..Ich kann kaum Worte finden um zu sagen wie schön ich dieses Lied und das Video finde..Es ist perfekt..Ich liebe es..
So no matter what you may be going through, God is holding you in his hand and He won't let you fall. Whatever your story is God has a plan for it all. He uses situations and circumstances for the better. He loves each and every one of you, and spills incredible undeserving grace upon us all.
Nobody understands what Chris is going through and instead of breaking down what happened to the guy there's arguments and hate here about God/religion. Can't y'all just love one another and most importantly support Chris in his future endeavors?
Muchos años atrás la escuché y siempre que quiero liberarme con una canción bastante emotiva pero que te erize la piel, esta es la indicada, una "masterpiece"
Well said brother. Couldn't have said it any better. I struggled with religion for a long time until I learned that it was about relationship, not religion
Peyton Weir untill he realizes how much meaning his life has, sure he has alot of fans but what about when he is on his deathbed. He is gonna regret doing all the crap he does now because he most likely wont live passed the age of 40 because of it. I just think hes gonna look back and wish he had stayed on the path he was on when he wrote this song. The songs by Like moths to flames are literally nothing but worthless words. Even if your not christian, at least AGRACEFUL had a positive message. He's going to regret the decision.
Michael Sparks Who the fuck are you to say what Chris is going to think on his deathbed? That is beyond messed up to think that you have the authority to make that decision for him. Chris will do as he pleases, make the music he enjoys creating, write the lyrics that hit home hardest for him, & live his life as he wants to. YOU are the reason that many people dislike Christianity as a religion. As Chris would say, I think that you should "learn your place."
thats why its call free will............either you believe or you dont. My experience goes beyond books. And you right not everything you read is true, but people try so hard to prove that God isnt real , but have no proof that God isnt real
Leaving Agraceful with this dude's worst mistake for his musical career ever. I never could get into his newer shit beyond this no matter how much I tried. I miss this era, I miss raw music like this.
I don't care what he believes in, personally. Guy's using his talents to the lead the life he wants to live, and I enjoy listening to almost every second of it.
ive listening to these guys for atleast 8 years maybe 9 or ten. I watched them open for sparta and further seems forever around 2004. if not for them I wouldn't be who I am today. how many bands actually change your life ?
I love non-mainstream videos like this. I always dreamed to live the life of being in a bands with a few friends and other good artist, but the world today I can't have dreams like that. I feel this is the best way of expression and I'm sure people would enjoy what I have to express, but they'll probably never know.
Robby hopefuly one day i will direct videos as good as you do. Thanks for the inspiration, and this is one of the best songs ever released, give me chills everytime! "i know this is the way..."
this song brings back so many memories. i met chris just recently, and if only i could've had time to tell him how much of an inspiration he is and how this song and a few of like moths to flames songs really helped me in periods of my life.
Thats the basic foundation, dont worry about what other people have done to attempt to corrupt the bible or Christianity, seek God and God alone and you will find Him in the most intimate way to where nothing in you can deny it. Live by faith brother, cuz thats God's meeting place for us.
This brings back the memories of my 2009-2011 emo/scene days. I used to listen to this song every day, not even aware of what it was about.
I'm with you bro
Thanks, bro.
+Manny destroyer man ur not alone lol
I'm glad I was 16-20 y/o in that era of time. Soo many good bands in the post-hardcore sound back then. 2007-2011 was the creme de la creme for the good post-hardcore sound.

Yeah, and this shit is deep apparently 😦
Chris Roetter never disappoints. From Emarosa to Agraceful to Like Moths to Flames. He is just fucking great.
I have loved this song for years. It helps me so much when I'm going through hard times. It is such a great reminder that God will always be there even if you feel like he is not.

Ily I hope you’re doing good.💕✨
My God so desperately I watched them calling for You
To bring down Your hands
To make this all okay
To make us whole again
And now so desperately I have been calling for You
To bring down Your hands
To make this all okay
To bring me home
And He said
I will carry you home again, home tonight
I will carry you to let you fly, to let you fly
And now so desperately I have been waiting for You
To bring down Your hands
To make this all okay
To make me whole again
I know that this is the way
I know that this is the way You planned for it
I will carry you home again, home tonight
I will carry you to let you fly, to let you fly
I will carry you home again, home tonight
I will carry you to let you fly, to let you fly
real talent. he puts so much feeling in his voice. i mean he could sing about a hot dog with this voice and i could cry ;_; that proves he is amazing in my opinion at least c:
the hot dog dies and he sings as it bleeds out on the street cold and alone. 😢
Gracias por darme la tranquilidad tantos años escuchándote, te recordé en estos momentos, gracias por darme siempre ese impulso
Praying God leads these guys home again. Such a great song
Chris better never leave LMTF!!!
What happened to this band ?!?!
@@rickywhite2555 The vocalist left the faith and started Like Moth to Flames from all I heard but I honestly do not know the story
Amen brother. 🙏
Amén 🙏
Im athiest but theres just something so magical about this..its..its hard to explain
God exists.
same here, it has a really good sound to it
Alex S honestly does it matter? if he doesn't believe let him not believe...
Blaineguin Plays Yes it matters.
Alex S so he can have a right to believe or not to
I have never been religious; I was turned away from being super into church by the greed and mistreatment of those with less to give (me) now I'm 22, completely set in my mind and happy with myself, Philosopical, happy, fair, loving, and I will FOREVER love this song.

No one cares. I sencerily mean that.
GODZIWA Low dude Low
GODZIWA WHAT THE CRAP. three words. get.a.life.
Mia Sykes I found out about him through Tumblr back in the start of 2012. Beheading Of A King's debut album is legendary because of Matt. I feel for you. I wish I could've known him
dude must you comment on every video about that guy? I get it its sad. is this your first time dealing with death?
I'm agnostic...
And still love every second of this song.
Chris went to high school with me briefly, and [years later] my college friend had a familiar shirt that Chris always wore and I was asked where he got it and then I found out where Chris went after he left my high school!
He never forgets to mess up his hair. Not back then, not now, not ever.
Not even in 2024
Thank you chris for carrying the gospel through the genre. Amen and i pray you still find yourself living in the grace of the holy spirit ❤
2018 still listening to this. And everytime I do I cannot stop the tears...
damn do I wish that these guys were still playing together
this sounds beautiful, there's no screaming, just pure vocals, very clean. i love it:)
He's showing emotion cuz he's singing about jesus christ:]
I don't know if you've noticed but christians show alot of emotion when they embrace god.
There's alot of feeling behind worshiping god guys:]
It's breath taking.
🤡
How could I forget about this awsome project that Agraceful was, and especially about this beautiful song. Thank YTB recomendations, good to know that you actually work well.
I'm probably going crazy, but this is Like Moths To Flames' lead vocalist right...?
he is indeed
Jidaf Moutsogo He was better here though...
Personally, I think his screams are fucking amazing. The band is great but they're nothing fascinating. Typical post-hardcore. I wish they brought something new to the table. Plus, (I should probably look his name up) the lead vocalist runs out of breath really really easily when performing live.
Chris roetter is a really good vocalist but only in studio but having said that he is still one of my favorites. Really good lyricists
OG Emarosa still takes the cake
Watching in 2015
oh yeah
Im currently in 2016
Lol
BlackRainIsWet you´re already in the new year ha
watching in 2016 this came out when I was in high school lol
its really weird that Chris went from this to LMTF.
It's even crazier that he went from this to Emarosa then to LMTF
Russ Bradshaw I thought he played in Emarosa first
Agraceful was on Sumerian. Once fulfilling their contract or whatever and splitting ways, Chris joined Emarosa and got signed to Rise, but left shortly after being signed so after leaving Rise signed him in LMTF so he could fulfill his contract with them. That's what I've been told at least.
He was actually in emarosa first. He was in the first ep they released as a "emarosa" in 2007 and then he left them and joined agraceful then lmtf. Smh
I was always told the opposite
I just can't get over how amazing this song is. So much power and emotion!
This is a great song. Its pretty much stuck in my head. Sounds sincerely heart wrenchingly desperate for the Father.
Watching in 2016 - fuck it.
2024 still rockin'
This poor man, Chris Roetter. This song is so uplifting and beautiful, but now his music is so dark and angry. I love both this and his music with Like Moths to Flames, but gosh, he just sounds so hurt. I can only imagine the pain he had to have felt to bring such a 180 like that.

this "scene" was filled with fake christian bands, as i lay dying being the biggest lie, Chris is no different, once the christian scene died out, he signed with his actual band and came out as the junkie he really is, always drunk and stoned
How can you speak for someone that you don't know whatsoever? Lol are you really that egotistical to make claims like that?
His music was uplifting with Agraceful, now his music reflects pain, hurt, and death. This is a fact. No I don't know him, but its clear to me that something in his life brought about that change. But sure, I"m egotistical....
+Jeffrey Ferreira I'm talking about the guy saying he was doing it to pose bc of a "phase". Not you
oh ok got it
listened a thousand times. still gives me chills.
Although, I am not a firm believer in the Christian GOD. I do agree with you. Humanity was bound for failure from the start, our EGO and drive to "better" ourselves has lead us all astray.
uhm ok wow ive heard chris roetter songs and a few other bands hes been in but ive never heard of this band nor have i ever heard of this song and wow all i can say is that this guy is absolutely amazing his voice... I just absolutely love this song now. i just cant believe ive never heard of it before i never knew he was such a spiritual person. reminds me of underoath or flyleaf.
old flyleaf 😘
yes old flyleaf
UNGIRTHED OBEDEAR I remember my first reaction when I heard a music flyleaf
" 1:00 no longer just a normal singer ... 2:00 My God this is sensational thousands"
FaZe Jev brought me here :) Dope song btw!
Same thing here
lol
It's a minitage.

great cutt. your nothing without fate. .!!
Zu schön um es in Worte zu fassen..Gesang,Video,Mimik des Sängers,Gestik der Band..Einfach nur episch..Ich kann kaum Worte finden um zu sagen wie schön ich dieses Lied und das Video finde..Es ist perfekt..Ich liebe es..
Not religious in any sort of sense, but God this spoke to me internally :')
anyone else see colin farrell with a mullet?
Still here. 2020 :)
Me too!!! 2024💕💕✨
So no matter what you may be going through, God is holding you in his hand and He won't let you fall. Whatever your story is God has a plan for it all. He uses situations and circumstances for the better. He loves each and every one of you, and spills incredible undeserving grace upon us all.
I really wish he did more songs like this. His voice is so perff~
Muito linda essa música.
Bons tempos saudades!!
nunca esquecerei
Still waiting for the lead singer to become christian again and pick this band back up.
Fingers Crossed!
+yourturningpoint777 lol no way whatsoever
Nah, Like Moths To Flames is perfect. Not a single song they put out is horrible. Perfect shit, and that's what he truly believes in now
***** what if he changes what he truly believes, would you support him?
If that's what he really believes, sure will. But it seems like he's for sure about this, and I'm sure about it too
Love his voice. The lyrics are sublime and what so many people need to hear now. It connects to my soul.
Nobody understands what Chris is going through and instead of breaking down what happened to the guy there's arguments and hate here about God/religion. Can't y'all just love one another and most importantly support Chris in his future endeavors?
Well, Chris changed his style slightly.
I forgot about this
Almost forgot to listen to this today
great song.. 🍻🍻🍻🍻
Thank you. i can't imagine this singer is the same guy...LH Mercy!!
Me: God doesn't exist.
Also me: ''My God so desperately I watched them calling for You''.

+L0XX well played
2019
2024
Well said brother. Couldn't have said it any better. I struggled with religion for a long time until I learned that it was about relationship, not religion
I certainly miss Agraceful. Was blessed to see them live tho so I can't complain
It's sad watching this now. He is so lost :(
I think he's found who he wants to be.
Peyton Weir untill he realizes how much meaning his life has, sure he has alot of fans but what about when he is on his deathbed. He is gonna regret doing all the crap he does now because he most likely wont live passed the age of 40 because of it. I just think hes gonna look back and wish he had stayed on the path he was on when he wrote this song. The songs by Like moths to flames are literally nothing but worthless words.

YOU are the reason that many people dislike Christianity as a religion. As Chris would say, I think that you should "learn your place."
wont live past the age of 40 bcus he is atheist? lol
Sawyer Martin Well said
Who could deny the evidence that God is real we all have access to the Bible and free will
thats why its call free will............either you believe or you dont. My experience goes beyond books. And you right not everything you read is true, but people try so hard to prove that God isnt real , but have no proof that God isnt real
THEN THERE'S NO HARM IN BELIEVING OR DISBELIEVING, ITS THE SAME AS A PERSON THAT THINKS THAT THEIR ALWAYS RIGHT WHEN AT TIMES THEIR WRONG...........
Cmore Funnie Lol
How about you guys shut the fuck up , and keep your opinion to yourself :D
Cmore Funnie the bible is a book. Idk about you but i dont really put my faith in books.
This is amazing.. I been listening to this for a while.
Love his voice ! this song is so soft !!
Sorry, but this is so much better than LMTF
Jev
Leaving Agraceful with this dude's worst mistake for his musical career ever. I never could get into his newer shit beyond this no matter how much I tried. I miss this era, I miss raw music like this.
Dwight Lives Matter actually from a career standpoint LMTF was probably the best most successful band he's been in.
I don't care what he believes in, personally.
Guy's using his talents to the lead the life he wants to live, and I enjoy listening to almost every second of it.
I listened to this on mushrooms and I feel like this song changed my life ............. this song will always be great in my books.
Jev.
He is in the band Like Moths to Flames now.
2019 oi
2021 oi
2022 oi
He's talking about God.
Amen. ❤️
2024 still hits
2018 💗
he looks like joe jonas
this comment is from a year ago get over it
2022
It's amazing the amount of emotion he puts into this video, it's like he put his whole soul into this song.
ive listening to these guys for atleast 8 years maybe 9 or ten. I watched them open for sparta and further seems forever around 2004. if not for them I wouldn't be who I am today. how many bands actually change your life ?
chris is better with like moths to flames ...
define better...because his cleans suck now, he looks like a greaseball lol and does drugs and crap lol it seems to me he is much worse now lol
Michael Sparks Most great bands start to suck once the writer gets clean...
Michael Sparks
Completely different styles of music..... so your opinion is null and void
DOT DOT DOT
I love non-mainstream videos like this. I always dreamed to live the life of being in a bands with a few friends and other good artist, but the world today I can't have dreams like that. I feel this is the best way of expression and I'm sure people would enjoy what I have to express, but they'll probably never know.
Beautiful Christian song!!!
the most beautiful song I've ever heard!
i just noticed how amazing Robby Starkbuck is, people need to start giving him credit
Robby hopefuly one day i will direct videos as good as you do. Thanks for the inspiration, and this is one of the best songs ever released, give me chills everytime! "i know this is the way..."
One of the best songs I've heard in my life
Geez dude, I love this song so much.
Sweet Jesus i died and went to heaven while this song was playing.
this song brings back so many memories. i met chris just recently, and if only i could've had time to tell him how much of an inspiration he is and how this song and a few of like moths to flames songs really helped me in periods of my life.
This is an awesome song. I'm 6 beers in on a Saturday and this is absolute bliss. *burp*
this is a awesome song.....
*an
I heard this back in 2009 i totaly forgot this bands name but so thankful i found it ❤
This song is actually amazing
Very good song! This is staying on repeat.
such a powerful song.
Listened to this about 20 times in the last few days.
Thats the basic foundation, dont worry about what other people have done to attempt to corrupt the bible or Christianity, seek God and God alone and you will find Him in the most intimate way to where nothing in you can deny it. Live by faith brother, cuz thats God's meeting place for us.
Wow this is the first song I've heard by this band and I really like it. It's a chill alternative to the stuff I normally listen to and I like it
i love the message of this song
this is awesome im glad i found this song
Gosh I love this song
