Whenever I feel like God isn't there, I listen to this and instantly know He is. Thank you Matty for making such a personal and touching song. It strengthens my faith every time.
For all of you who rant on about "religion shouldn't be brought into music," Matty has freedom to do whatever he wants and even if you aren't Christian, you should respect the positive message in this song. For all of the atheists who continue to go off about it, bands like Bring Me The Horizon (which I love) use atheistic meaning in their music like the song The House of Wolves. So why can't Matty express his religious views, not even forcing it? I am Christian and I totally agree with his message, but even if you don't, no need to hate
Thank you!! And people complain about the religious views in MMF lyrics because of Matty. But when he decides to release a solo album AWAY from MMF where he can express his faith, people talk trash about it.
This is quite a amazing song. And I do agree Matty does have the right to express what exactly he wants in way shape or form. *clap* oh and *hands cookie* hehe gota give the good people cookies :3
I'm not religious in the slightest but there isn't a doubt I will buy this album. It's not always about the lyrics. It's about the good music and the compassion. You just gotta appreciate the man staying true to himself for doing this and I enjoyed it despite that I can't relate to it. It just sounds so amazing. I wish people were more open minded.
I love that matty is showing this side of him. Yes the heavy tunes and screaming is sick, but it's nice to hear something refreshing. And I'm not a believer, but the way matty carries himself and doesn't force his belief is what makes me like this. He's just happy with his own faith. Dig the track. Matty is life.
To all worried about the hating of Christians just remember. "Let no corrupting talk come out of your mouths, but only such as is good for building up, as fits the occasion, that it may give grace to those who hear." Ephesians 4:29
Used to be an atheist because of fake christians who think everyone is wrong if they don't believe in God, but I found love in God and nothing can change that. Matty is a Christian and he can sing about whatever he feels like. If you don't agree, then don't listen, but know that you're missing out on a talented individual. I think his solo project was meant to represent his relationship with God more then he does with Memphis May fire. I love both and I love God.
God says, "deny me in front of your friends, and I will deny you into my Kingdom." Matty is just doing what he loves, while sharing his other love for Christ. God wants us to bring the hopeless to him, so he can heal them. And Matty can easily do this through his music, because it's a talent God has given him. Also, I've always asked, what do you have to lose by giving your heart to God? I'd rather live a life believing in God and finding out he doesn't exist, over not believing in God and finding out that he does. I challenge you all to pray just once and truly ask God to come into your heart and to take all your pains and struggles away. Like I said, what do you have to lose? If you decide not to, I will still love you, and won't think any different of you. It's not our duty to judge, but to be a friend to others, and to love everyone regardless of their beliefs.
Inspirational see that a musician as talented as Matty profess how great our God is. (and yes the song is obviously not about his relationship with his daughter, but his relationship with GOD). This song should inspire all Christians to use the gifts God gave us to better his kingdom, even if just one person is inspired to pray to God and ask Him to come into their heart it was worth it. AWESOME to see so many Christians stand up for what they believe in. Its not easy in this day and age. Jesus loves you, and always will. God bless~!
I'm experiencing God working wonders in my life right now. There were so many people in this world that I have clinged on to, and then one day I went to God and said "make me a better person for you". Never have I been so happy losing people in my life and gaining others who can lead me to Christ again. Pray for me as I embark on my next trial, I'm loosing all the people that have meant so much to me but weren't any one bit of good in my life. God bless you all. By the way this is a fantastic song!
This song gives me chills, I'm agnostic but I feel like God is answering my prayers after so many years of self-hate and feeling like a nobody. My life has been a little better for a few months now.
I agree with Chain Breaker, many answers are in the bible. I have been a christian all my life but I only started to really understand things when I started to read and study the bible
Hey Nicole, I get your stance. I only lasted as a Christian for a little while. After that I just felt condemned, unloved, uncared for. This is beginning to change. I am learning to accept that God loves me, shown perfectly in the person of Jesus. Self-hatred is a difficult thing to overcome, I'm still learning, but know that you are worth so much. You are loved. You are not nobody. The creator of the universe loves you, and wants you with him.
amytothek I'm with you. I've been through so many ups and downs. I've turned away from God so many times out of depression and anger..yet he still lets me in and he still forgives me every time I mess up
I agree with this totally. The lyrics are good whether it's religion or his wife. But ehhh it's just ok musically. But an acoustic album would be great. I also agree it's a little too soon after mmf release. Then again it's a business go for it I suppose.
Matty, thank you so much for all that you do, I have fallen deeply into dark situations that are beyond my control, and in your music I keep your tracks on repeat daily, you have inspired me and uplifted me to grow closer to the Lord so that one day when people ask me how I am I'll be able to say I'm doing fine. God bless you Matt!
Honestly I love this song and I love that Matty is as big into Christ as some of us are. I could care less what any of you think but this song is amazing.
I'm just happy Matty is being forward about his faith. It really encourages me to do the same. I mean, he has a lot more to lose, but he's gonna be true to his love and his God anyway. Thanks Matty for reminding us to not be afraid of what the world thinks.
This makes me respect Matty more than I already did. It lights up my world to see him do his own thing even though MMF is amazing. He has such amazing talent to do that along with music like this. So much respect
Oh my gosh I was so surprised when I found out Matty made Christian songs. BUT I'M SOOOO HAPPY!!!!! it's so great he's using his talent for God :') i love all artists of Christian music
For everyone saying that they don't like the lyrics in this song, congrats to you. Because of your comment, Matty is going to write songs about exactly what you want. After all, the world revolves around you. Just let him do what he wants, and if he wants to express his faith, then so be it. I, being a Christian, love this song, and even if you don't agree with his standpoint and beliefs, then there's nothing wrong with that. Just don't express that he's "wrong" because nobody is wrong; it's just his beliefs. That's like saying that someone is wrong about what food is good because they like chicken and not pizza. Plus, the lyrics are not brainwashed, due to the fact that he knows exactly what he's writing about and why. If anything, the ignorant ones are those who are commenting bashing Christianity. Matty doesn't say that atheists are wrong, so why should they say that he's wrong? Thank you.
Exactly man. I also believe in God as well and some of these comments are stating that these lyrics "awful." So ignorant. Not knowing who these lyrics are about.
I can't even say how happy I am to hear this song. For a while now It's been so many people saying they want "equality" and then they turn around and bash people for their beliefs. These lyrics bash no one, make fun of no one. And simply state God's love for us. That's it.
This song and what it stands for is just purely amazing. Narrow minded people will hate on it but us open minded people that believe in god and Jesus will cherish this kind of music. I cant wait to hear more. Keep it real Matty.
I said and I'll say it again they never disappoint. This is just the first single off of his solo album and It already brought me to tears. Wow. I can already tell that this this album is gonna be amazing!
And I say, "Matty Mullins just put out a record that’s all about Jesus! I don’t need to hide my faith anymore. I look up to him so if he’s flaunting it, I can flaunt mine too! If he gets flack but doesn’t care about it, then I shouldn’t care if I get flack. When I need encouragement, I’ll look through that lyric booklet and know that someone is struggling with the same things I do and he is looking to Jesus. That’s enough for him, so it’s got to be enough for me!”
Stand strong in your faith Matty, and all else here who are in the comments section getting persecuted for knowing the truth. The reason why there is always hate in the comments feed about Christianity and Atheism is because Christ told us that we would be persecuted when we believe. John 15:18 Jesus says, "If the world hates you, know that it has hated me before it hated you."
Anybody that knows Matty Mullins knows that he is a Christian man and has an intense love for God. The reason he put together this album was to write and perform songs that he didn't think the band should have to perform. Either due to conflicting interests, that he may have wanted to do them himself, or whatever the case may be. Yes, this song IS about God. Matty is placing this song in God's point of view. Hence, "I created you piece by piece, made you in my own image perfectly" or how about, "I loved you before you were born"? Actually listen to this song. You don't need to be Christian to know that this is obviously a song Matty put together to express his love of and for God. It's pretty plain to see. I enjoy this song regardless. I'm not Christian, but I enjoy his lyrics, his love for his profession, his voice and what he does for the music industry. All of you bashing on him or his music or his belief need to grow up and quit being judgemental. If you didn't like this song, you shouldn't have listened to it. Is there really ever a point to write nasty comments towards somebody because their belief is not your own? It's ridiculous and this is why the world is how it is. Because of people being so blind and stuck in their own opinion that they won't give another one a chance or even just let someone else's be heard. Everyone has their own opinion, belief, religion, etc. Let people be who they are without making them hurt and feel like crap about who they are or what they like.
I'm not religious myself and not crazy about the Christian lyrics but I can respect a good song. Also in my opinion, this is much better than most Christian songs because I find most Christian lyrics to be quite repetitive and too plain but this is well written with a beautiful sound. I might go to church more if they played more stuff like this.
some churches do, not many but they are out there. the thing is that lyrically many churches for worship sing more "to" God then this being "from" God perspective. But if you are considering it you should definitely go.
Yeah what Chris said. I went to this Christian camp at the beach for a week and the music was, yes more to God, but it's not bad. It's catchy. The experience was unbelievable. Singing, jumping around. And before services would start, they had music playing it could range from like, hip-hop style Christian music to rock like. This song is definitely something powerful. I everything works out for you whether you go to church or not.
see im christian but I have the same opinion you do I think most christian music is repetitive an they only reach out to people who are already christians whereas this guy and his band they make incredibly awesome lyrics an they bring me closer to god more than any christian band has such as skillet or hawk nelson even though theyre good bands too and they also reach out to other people who arent christians who go through so much shit in life and thats honestly why I have so much respect for matty mullins.
funkmasterp11 I agree. I like bands that can reach out to Christians, but can also speak to non Christians and Christians struggling with their faith. Also side note, i've seen Hawk Nelson before and they aren't half bad my man :)
Our Heavenly Father wants that one one relationship. He knows us He created us! But He wants us to know Him! Spending time reading his word talking to Him!! ❤️❤️ He's our everything
this song sounds like our loving God is talking to us about all the problems we're facing in our lives.This song honestly touched my heart and, i just heard this song and it helped me realize that I shouldn't give up on what I want to accomplish in my life.No matter if it's going to be tough or upsetting, because in life we all have problems yeah, sometimes it's going to be like what I said tough or upsetting; but we can over come those problems we are facing in our everyday lifes. so if you feel like giving up just remember that you have someone to go to when you feel this way. Because the amazing man in the sky above us is always going to be here for us. like he always been.
I miss the days when people could listen to a song and if they didn't like it, they didn't like it. Now it's as if there's a competition as to prove why you didn't like it. If Matty wants to bring glory to the one and only savior, then let him.
It’s God and His love for His people, “I paid the price you could never afford” is Jesus paying the price of sin on the cross so that we could be with God. “I created you piece by piece”, God creates us piece by piece and made us in His own image. Really great song and beautiful reflection of God’s word.
This song is so amazing , I am so proud of Matty. And , in my opinion, he went solo maybe because he didn't wanted for all MMF'S fans to react like you reacted to this song. This album is for all MMF's christian fans,and not only, it's awesome and if you don't want to listen to his new album , don't. You still have mmf and all their great songs.
The best song released through Rise Records... I'm really excited to hear it! Matty should call Caleb Shomo to make part of this album. I'm so proud of Matty cuz he have time to spread his love for God with the fans (:
It doesn't matter what perspective you see the singer from - this song, and its lyrics, are beautiful, positive, and uplifting. That's all it is to me.
I hope this song can change people's mindset becoming more open, that God is one and eternally, and there's no reason to doubt. There's no "your God", or "my God", but "Our God". :)
As an atheist, I'd like to say that I 100% respect who you are and what you do Matty. As a fan of MMF since the days of The Hollow, it's been a crazy journey to see you guys blow up like you have, and all because you guys believed in yourselves and the different messages you personally wanted to share. You're no different on this solo project, which is no surprise. And that's why I've pre-ordered, because I admire your craft and your ability to stand up for what you believe in.
is the first time i hear this song and think the same!! did Matty said something about it? like it's written about God or something? it's so beautiful!!
Every time I hear this song I burst into tears. Because when I was born, I had some complications and I've felt different my entire life because people have made fun of me for it my whole life and it made me so self conscience that I missed out on a bunch of stuff. I had actually gotten to the point of considering suicide. I finally opened up to my brother about how this had been bothering me, and he's now helping me work through it and things are getting better now. But the same day I opened up to my brother, I actually listened to this song and it has made such an impact on my life. Thank you Mattie! God bless!
I don't know why everyone is getting so up in arms about this. What did you expect him to write/sing about? Unconditional had underlying themes of Christianity all throughout it. And it's clear that Matty was wanting to move in that direction. No one sat you down and forced you to listen to this, or comment the hateful things that you wrote. If you don't like it, move on. You'll find something you like more. If you are about "not hating anyone" (gays, other religions or lack thereof, races, etc.) then you shouldn't be hating on Matty for writing this kind of music. It was his choice. And if you are going to spread hate because of what he writes then you are no better than the "fake Christians" that go around belittling people like you. Personally, I am a Christian and I don't hate anyone. In fact, I support gay marriage and equality for everyone. I was raised that we are all supposed to love one another, no matter what anyone else believes or chooses to do. Anyway, back to the music; while I actually don't normally like praise and worship songs, I do like this. I loved the heavier stuff that MMF as a group put out but this is a nice change. Just hoping that everyone will figure out that hating each other and being concerned with what other people do is not the answer. Have respect for all music, too. There are people behind that music.
I agree. Though I may not have the same views on gay marriage (I personally don't believe in it but I don't belittle gays for it because I was taught to love everyone.), I can still agree with what all you're saying.
Guys, whether you're religious or not it sounds to me that Matty is super stoked to produce this album for us. He said that is his side of music he's never been able to get out through MMF. It's his soul in a way. And yes he is a Christian but that doesn't change a thing to me. I'll always be a fan to the end. I'm ecstatic this song was more of a religious one. There are so many people that need to have a rock in their life, and religion can be one of them. Even if it's not for you, it may be for someone else. That's all I'm saying. Hope I didn't offend anyone, that wasn't my purpose.
I commend Matty for putting out a song that's truly what he believes, whether it's about a girl or God. I support this message and I hope his faith will not be shaken by these comments of people who cannot get past some words and just listen to the music. Please grow up and at least appreciate a piece of art even if you don't agree with the message entirely, no one else cares whether you agree with Christians or not, live your damn life, be happy, whether you realize that there is a God out there that cares for you is your own personal battle.
My Dear is such a beautiful and fantastic song. I'm so excited that you decided to make a solo album, truly expressing who you love most of all, our Savior, and sharing His love with the millions of followers you have that are desperately seeking for that someone to fill that void that they feel missing. I'm so proud of you! Keep it up!
I envy all the people who have faith. I wish i could believe and have a light in the darkness. Thinking that there is nothing after this life makes me feel hopeless. Knowing that people who suffer in this life won't get the good things they deserve. I want to believe. I've tried to believe. I just can't. On another note. I will stand with the Christians, Jews, Muslims and whatever people have faith in there religion. I will never bash anyone. You have a right to believe what you want. The second anyone bashes religion i will be there to back up the person being bashed.
Really refreshing hearing somebody who doesn't believe have support for those who do. Seems like today you are either a Christian, or you hate Christians
Matty is personally my favorite vocalist because he has such a wide variety of pitch and tone. This just shows how versatile Matty can be. I applaud him and his endeavors, and will always be a fan of his music weather it be his solo work or with MMF. I feel like RiseRecords isn't even a welcoming place anymore. Everyone just writes hateful stuff on videos and that can be discouraging to the bands that signed to this label. Before everyone gave positive feedback or if they didn't like it simply left it alone. But now it's become something that people just show their dislike for. We need to grow the hell up and actually help these bands grow rather them beat them up with hate.
As an atheist, these lyrics mean nothing to me. That being said, I didnt expect this from Matty and Im not sure how I feel about this. I still listen to the Hollow more than anything, not saying I dont enjoy their last two album, but I wish they would go back to that southern heavy feel. Judging off of this single release, I fear that MMF is slowly dying in my heart in favor of dropping religious fan girl panties. Ill miss you MMF :,( RIP
Matty has really always had a christian side of him...you saw it in the song the answer a lot on the Unconditional record MMF released I'm looking forward to everything on his self titled record.
You don't have to be religious to love and relate to songs. I'm not religious and I could listen to Matty Mullins and other Christian bands all day. If you don't like it, don't comment and don't listen to it. You're not the one that's singing it so pipe down.
Why does everyone have to bash Matty because his songs are about God? People say they can't relate. Well some people get tired of listening to negative music that surrounds sex, drugs, and just depressive stuff man. I like this inspiration. I like music that makes me think. It actual takes talent to write music like that. Anyone can write a song about negative things. Let the man speak out about his faith. Never has he said he is perfect. No one is. But at least he strives to be. May god bless you.
Everyone relates their own memories or events to his music so how about instead of arguing about religion and god we all just listen to the song and interpret it in our own way? And i'm not Christian but i'm not gonna bash someone over what they believe. Everyone just go and mind your own business
This explains me clearly, as if The LORD wrote this song himself to me and all of y'all who feel pain and is searching for refuge. The LORD is the only one to ALWAYS be there for us when everybody else has abandoned us, he is the only one to understand are TRUE pain. He is are creator afterall.
You people are ass hats. No need to go bashing Matty for going solo with this album. I admire him for what he has done. If you don't like his solo stuff then don't listen to it. It's that simple. I'm also a Memphis May Fire fan and I also love his solo stuff. He has an amazing voice and has every right to sing about what he loves. I love that he isn't afraid to show that he is a Christian. Good job Matty!
If you don't like the religious aspect to it, then don't listen to it. Matty even said "This is a different side of me that I think might surprise some of you", this is him talking about what HE believes, and sorry, but you have no say in that.
Im sure he didn't write this for anyone but God. Im sure he just loves that God likes it. And I'm sure he wishes that some of his fans get touched by this. He has strong faith im sure of that. God Bless You Matty! And so God bless all the beautiful fans! 😊
So I am in love with this song. Sometimes in this world of sin and death I forget that I'm not the only one that loves God. I love songs that remind me of that.
Many here have said that "there is no God." or "I know there is no God." or "Christians are wasting their lives." If I end up wasting my life in the end, so be it. But, "What If" We are really following something true? "What If" what we stand for is reality? "What If" it is you that is wasting your life? I'm not here to push my religion onto anyone, I'm just here to make a statement. I'd rather "waste" my life here on earth for the chance of something greater.
And you are not wasting anything. God appreciates you sticking by him despite everything others say. Just let your heart follow him and your belief won't ever be a waste. Trust in me. I'm not anyone special to you, but trust in my words. You are doing what you are suppose to do. Just be the best person you can be and trust in him and all those that work for him from heaven and from earth.
There is a ton of bad things in this world. God left us to our devices, being human and a Christian means going through suffering and trials in our lives. Earth and life is not paradise, life after earth is paradise. But God is there for us while here on earth if you go to him and allow him to be.
What's wrong with Matty making Christian music? If you don't like it, no one is forcing you to listen to it. Matty has always been religious and thats just who he is. He sings because he enjoys it, not to please everyone. So saying he's stupid for being religious is like saying girls are stupid for liking boys.
[I created you piece by piece] For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother's womb (psalms 139:13) [Made you in my own image perfectly] Then God said, "Let us make mankind in our image, in our likeness, so that they may rule over the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky, over the livestock and all the wild animals, and over all the creatures that move along the ground (Genesis 1:26) [There's not a thing about you I don't adore so I paid the price that you could never afford] For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. (John 3:16) [So don't let go now there's so much in store!] However, as it is written: "What no eye has seen, what no ear has heard, and what no human mind has conceived" -- the things God has prepared for those who love him. (1 Corinthians 2:9) [Oh I loved you before you were born!] "Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, before you were born I set you apart; I appointed you as a prophet to the nations." (Jeremiah 1:5) This songs about God and his word and it's so beautiful God bless💙
Matty keep doing your thing. above all you define you and what you put out is a direct reflection of who you are. You have my support I'm about to pre order.
I believe that this is a song that can mean anything you want it to mean true if you try to see it from a religious standpoint sure it makes sense however personally for me it talks about a loved one that's how I feel and that's what the song means for me I think about my loved one when I hear this song basically
ItsZifx What he's trying to say is that regardless of what an artist says his song is about, the lyrics can still have a different meaning to you and thus apply to your life in a unique way.
If you were to have never heard Matty Mullins before his solo, With this you'd never believe the vocals that can come out of this mans mouth xDD. It sounds so pretty,
Why is everyone bashing this song and Christians? He has every right to sing about God. This song is amazing and I'm glad he's doing music like this. There needs to be more of it.
Stop fucking complaining about this song being about religion. I in no way, shape or form believe in God however that does not take away the fact that this song is incredible. In fact, the lyrics could have been about anything from a father or uncle or whatever.
Amazing song! This song is about Jesus and I love matty awesome song!
Holy shit! It's Bijuu Mike!
Whenever I feel like God isn't there, I listen to this and instantly know He is. Thank you Matty for making such a personal and touching song. It strengthens my faith every time.
I know this isn't about a kid but I sing it to my baby all the time I get so emotional during this song it's so touching and heartfelt
Omg that's so sweet!
When I say this song SAVED my life ... I'm not being dramatic. Please do not stop doing what you're doing with your platform. 🙏
For all of you who rant on about "religion shouldn't be brought into music," Matty has freedom to do whatever he wants and even if you aren't Christian, you should respect the positive message in this song. For all of the atheists who continue to go off about it, bands like Bring Me The Horizon (which I love) use atheistic meaning in their music like the song The House of Wolves. So why can't Matty express his religious views, not even forcing it? I am Christian and I totally agree with his message, but even if you don't, no need to hate
Thank you!! And people complain about the religious views in MMF lyrics because of Matty. But when he decides to release a solo album AWAY from MMF where he can express his faith, people talk trash about it.
This is quite a amazing song. And I do agree Matty does have the right to express what exactly he wants in way shape or form. *clap* oh and *hands cookie* hehe gota give the good people cookies :3
***** Thank you for this, you couldn't be more right
The bible even encourages you to use music for his praise.
***** Choo Choo xDDDDDD I loved that part. Great comment by the way ;)
Matty is so versatile. He is simply amazing. I hope to meet him one day.
He's really genuine dude ^^!
I'm not religious in the slightest but there isn't a doubt I will buy this album. It's not always about the lyrics. It's about the good music and the compassion. You just gotta appreciate the man staying true to himself for doing this and I enjoyed it despite that I can't relate to it. It just sounds so amazing. I wish people were more open minded.
I love that matty is showing this side of him. Yes the heavy tunes and screaming is sick, but it's nice to hear something refreshing. And I'm not a believer, but the way matty carries himself and doesn't force his belief is what makes me like this. He's just happy with his own faith. Dig the track. Matty is life.
I submitted this song to be played for my Friday bible study! Praise God!
To all worried about the hating of Christians just remember. "Let no corrupting talk come out of your mouths, but only such as is good for building up, as fits the occasion, that it may give grace to those who hear." Ephesians 4:29
Used to be an atheist because of fake christians who think everyone is wrong if they don't believe in God, but I found love in God and nothing can change that. Matty is a Christian and he can sing about whatever he feels like. If you don't agree, then don't listen, but know that you're missing out on a talented individual. I think his solo project was meant to represent his relationship with God more then he does with Memphis May fire. I love both and I love God.
Snowflake Allergies the heavens rejoice when one soul is saved. Welcome to the family ❤️
God says, "deny me in front of your friends, and I will deny you into my Kingdom." Matty is just doing what he loves, while sharing his other love for Christ. God wants us to bring the hopeless to him, so he can heal them. And Matty can easily do this through his music, because it's a talent God has given him. Also, I've always asked, what do you have to lose by giving your heart to God? I'd rather live a life believing in God and finding out he doesn't exist, over not believing in God and finding out that he does. I challenge you all to pray just once and truly ask God to come into your heart and to take all your pains and struggles away. Like I said, what do you have to lose? If you decide not to, I will still love you, and won't think any different of you. It's not our duty to judge, but to be a friend to others, and to love everyone regardless of their beliefs.
Inspirational see that a musician as talented as Matty profess how great our God is. (and yes the song is obviously not about his relationship with his daughter, but his relationship with GOD). This song should inspire all Christians to use the gifts God gave us to better his kingdom, even if just one person is inspired to pray to God and ask Him to come into their heart it was worth it. AWESOME to see so many Christians stand up for what they believe in. Its not easy in this day and age. Jesus loves you, and always will.
God bless~!
amen!!
+Stefan van Jaarsveld Yeah mannnnnn!! :) God blessss
+Stefan van Jaarsveld hail satan
I'm experiencing God working wonders in my life right now. There were so many people in this world that I have clinged on to, and then one day I went to God and said "make me a better person for you".
Never have I been so happy losing people in my life and gaining others who can lead me to Christ again. Pray for me as I embark on my next trial, I'm loosing all the people that have meant so much to me but weren't any one bit of good in my life. God bless you all.
By the way this is a fantastic song!
I'm not religious but if this is what Matty believes in, we should respect that! And this song is beautiful!
This song gives me chills, I'm agnostic but I feel like God is answering my prayers after so many years of self-hate and feeling like a nobody. My life has been a little better for a few months now.
+Nicole Fuentes Motionless that's exactly what I thought while listening to this!
I agree with Chain Breaker, many answers are in the bible. I have been a christian all my life but I only started to really understand things when I started to read and study the bible
I don't know what agnostic is (Haha), but I'm glad you feel God. I always feel better talking to him, and feeling his love for me.
Hey Nicole, I get your stance. I only lasted as a Christian for a little while. After that I just felt condemned, unloved, uncared for. This is beginning to change. I am learning to accept that God loves me, shown perfectly in the person of Jesus. Self-hatred is a difficult thing to overcome, I'm still learning, but know that you are worth so much. You are loved. You are not nobody. The creator of the universe loves you, and wants you with him.
amytothek
I'm with you. I've been through so many ups and downs. I've turned away from God so many times out of depression and anger..yet he still lets me in and he still forgives me every time I mess up
Matty needs an acoustic album; that I think would be even better (:
AGREED!
I agree with this totally. The lyrics are good whether it's religion or his wife. But ehhh it's just ok musically. But an acoustic album would be great. I also agree it's a little too soon after mmf release. Then again it's a business go for it I suppose.
I feel his voice is much greater through his acoustics and he really has a great melodic vocal pattern that really helps the acoustic sound soar
Matty, thank you so much for all that you do, I have fallen deeply into dark situations that are beyond my control, and in your music I keep your tracks on repeat daily, you have inspired me and uplifted me to grow closer to the Lord so that one day when people ask me how I am I'll be able to say I'm doing fine. God bless you Matt!
Honestly I love this song and I love that Matty is as big into Christ as some of us are. I could care less what any of you think but this song is amazing.
I love seeing a man so on fire for God. This song inspires me and I thank Christ He put Matty Mullins on a record label that is so well known.
I'm just happy Matty is being forward about his faith. It really encourages me to do the same. I mean, he has a lot more to lose, but he's gonna be true to his love and his God anyway. Thanks Matty for reminding us to not be afraid of what the world thinks.
Nicely said Josh :)
AMEN!! SAME
This makes me respect Matty more than I already did. It lights up my world to see him do his own thing even though MMF is amazing. He has such amazing talent to do that along with music like this. So much respect
Oh my gosh I was so surprised when I found out Matty made Christian songs. BUT I'M SOOOO HAPPY!!!!! it's so great he's using his talent for God :') i love all artists of Christian music
I've always been christian but never had much faith and matty is helping me. I love him so much
Love the Christ inspired lyrics. Matty has definitely grown into a man of Christ!
For everyone saying that they don't like the lyrics in this song, congrats to you. Because of your comment, Matty is going to write songs about exactly what you want. After all, the world revolves around you. Just let him do what he wants, and if he wants to express his faith, then so be it. I, being a Christian, love this song, and even if you don't agree with his standpoint and beliefs, then there's nothing wrong with that. Just don't express that he's "wrong" because nobody is wrong; it's just his beliefs. That's like saying that someone is wrong about what food is good because they like chicken and not pizza. Plus, the lyrics are not brainwashed, due to the fact that he knows exactly what he's writing about and why. If anything, the ignorant ones are those who are commenting bashing Christianity. Matty doesn't say that atheists are wrong, so why should they say that he's wrong? Thank you.
Amen dude!
Exactly man. I also believe in God as well and some of these comments are stating that these lyrics "awful." So ignorant. Not knowing who these lyrics are about.
Finnaly!!!! Thank you!!!!
Im so happy matty mullins is going further with his faith by singing praise
I can't even say how happy I am to hear this song. For a while now It's been so many people saying they want "equality" and then they turn around and bash people for their beliefs. These lyrics bash no one, make fun of no one. And simply state God's love for us. That's it.
This song and what it stands for is just purely amazing. Narrow minded people will hate on it but us open minded people that believe in god and Jesus will cherish this kind of music. I cant wait to hear more. Keep it real Matty.
So beautiful. No matter what any one says, this will save lives. It just saved one.
Thanks Matty
Very cool seeing worship music in this scene, rise is a bold label 👌
Very bold haha
I said and I'll say it again they never disappoint. This is just the first single off of his solo album and It already brought me to tears. Wow. I can already tell that this this album is gonna be amazing!
This comment is everything I'm thinking!
You're damn right :'D
And I say, "Matty Mullins just put out a record that’s all about Jesus! I don’t need to hide my faith anymore. I look up to him so if he’s flaunting it, I can flaunt mine too! If he gets flack but doesn’t care about it, then I shouldn’t care if I get flack. When I need encouragement, I’ll look through that lyric booklet and know that someone is struggling with the same things I do and he is looking to Jesus. That’s enough for him, so it’s got to be enough for me!”
Stand strong in your faith Matty, and all else here who are in the comments section getting persecuted for knowing the truth.
The reason why there is always hate in the comments feed about Christianity and Atheism is because Christ told us that we would be persecuted when we believe.
John 15:18 Jesus says, "If the world hates you, know that it has hated me before it hated you."
Anybody that knows Matty Mullins knows that he is a Christian man and has an intense love for God. The reason he put together this album was to write and perform songs that he didn't think the band should have to perform. Either due to conflicting interests, that he may have wanted to do them himself, or whatever the case may be. Yes, this song IS about God. Matty is placing this song in God's point of view. Hence, "I created you piece by piece, made you in my own image perfectly" or how about, "I loved you before you were born"? Actually listen to this song. You don't need to be Christian to know that this is obviously a song Matty put together to express his love of and for God. It's pretty plain to see. I enjoy this song regardless. I'm not Christian, but I enjoy his lyrics, his love for his profession, his voice and what he does for the music industry. All of you bashing on him or his music or his belief need to grow up and quit being judgemental. If you didn't like this song, you shouldn't have listened to it. Is there really ever a point to write nasty comments towards somebody because their belief is not your own? It's ridiculous and this is why the world is how it is. Because of people being so blind and stuck in their own opinion that they won't give another one a chance or even just let someone else's be heard. Everyone has their own opinion, belief, religion, etc. Let people be who they are without making them hurt and feel like crap about who they are or what they like.
love it! so glad that he's being a light into the music industry..I love how he's not ashamed of his faith ^_^
I'm not religious myself and not crazy about the Christian lyrics but I can respect a good song. Also in my opinion, this is much better than most Christian songs because I find most Christian lyrics to be quite repetitive and too plain but this is well written with a beautiful sound. I might go to church more if they played more stuff like this.
some churches do, not many but they are out there. the thing is that lyrically many churches for worship sing more "to" God then this being "from" God perspective. But if you are considering it you should definitely go.
Yeah what Chris said. I went to this Christian camp at the beach for a week and the music was, yes more to God, but it's not bad. It's catchy. The experience was unbelievable. Singing, jumping around. And before services would start, they had music playing it could range from like, hip-hop style Christian music to rock like. This song is definitely something powerful. I everything works out for you whether you go to church or not.
see im christian but I have the same opinion you do I think most christian music is repetitive an they only reach out to people who are already christians whereas this guy and his band they make incredibly awesome lyrics an they bring me closer to god more than any christian band has such as skillet or hawk nelson even though theyre good bands too and they also reach out to other people who arent christians who go through so much shit in life and thats honestly why I have so much respect for matty mullins.
funkmasterp11 I agree. I like bands that can reach out to Christians, but can also speak to non Christians and Christians struggling with their faith. Also side note, i've seen Hawk Nelson before and they aren't half bad my man :)
Our Heavenly Father wants that one one relationship. He knows us He created us! But He wants us to know Him! Spending time reading his word talking to Him!! ❤️❤️ He's our everything
this song sounds like our loving God is talking to us about all the problems we're facing in our lives.This song honestly touched my heart and, i just heard this song and it helped me realize that I shouldn't give up on what I want to accomplish in my life.No matter if it's going to be tough or upsetting, because in life we all have problems yeah, sometimes it's going to be like what I said tough or upsetting; but we can over come those problems we are facing in our everyday lifes. so if you feel like giving up just remember that you have someone to go to when you feel this way. Because the amazing man in the sky above us is always going to be here for us. like he always been.
Matty Mullins is a very good example of a good man of faith.
even if i'm atheist i still find this song beautiful,i mean it's music guys
Do you believe in reality?
joey BOYER what?
If you are still alive after 4 years we are praying for you on your belief. You have to open the door dude.

This song is so beautiful, nearly brought a tear to my eye💙
My heart exploded with love for him after i played this song 😭☝🏼🙂
I miss the days when people could listen to a song and if they didn't like it, they didn't like it. Now it's as if there's a competition as to prove why you didn't like it. If Matty wants to bring glory to the one and only savior, then let him.
I'm atheist, but I respect and love this song... Matty is a very good singer, I really like the lyrics...
i love this song, whatever he was thinking about, a person or a belief, either way its beautiful
It’s God and His love for His people, “I paid the price you could never afford” is Jesus paying the price of sin on the cross so that we could be with God. “I created you piece by piece”, God creates us piece by piece and made us in His own image. Really great song and beautiful reflection of God’s word.
This song is so amazing , I am so proud of Matty. And , in my opinion, he went solo maybe because he didn't wanted for all MMF'S fans to react like you reacted to this song. This album is for all MMF's christian fans,and not only, it's awesome and if you don't want to listen to his new album , don't. You still have mmf and all their great songs.
The best song released through Rise Records... I'm really excited to hear it! Matty should call Caleb Shomo to make part of this album. I'm so proud of Matty cuz he have time to spread his love for God with the fans (:
Dude that would be like the coolest thing ever!!!
Turner Treers yeeep :D
It doesn't matter what perspective you see the singer from - this song, and its lyrics, are beautiful, positive, and uplifting. That's all it is to me.
I hope this song can change people's mindset becoming more open, that God is one and eternally, and there's no reason to doubt. There's no "your God", or "my God", but "Our God".
:)
Lovin' the track Matty!
As an atheist, I'd like to say that I 100% respect who you are and what you do Matty. As a fan of MMF since the days of The Hollow, it's been a crazy journey to see you guys blow up like you have, and all because you guys believed in yourselves and the different messages you personally wanted to share. You're no different on this solo project, which is no surprise. And that's why I've pre-ordered, because I admire your craft and your ability to stand up for what you believe in.
This felt like God talking to you!😍❤❤❤
is the first time i hear this song and think the same!! did Matty said something about it? like it's written about God or something? it's so beautiful!!
It’s supposed to be God talking to Matty/the listener
Every time I hear this song I burst into tears. Because when I was born, I had some complications and I've felt different my entire life because people have made fun of me for it my whole life and it made me so self conscience that I missed out on a bunch of stuff. I had actually gotten to the point of considering suicide. I finally opened up to my brother about how this had been bothering me, and he's now helping me work through it and things are getting better now. But the same day I opened up to my brother, I actually listened to this song and it has made such an impact on my life. Thank you Mattie! God bless!
you have to love something so much to sing about it the way matty has, props to him for his passion
I don't know why everyone is getting so up in arms about this. What did you expect him to write/sing about? Unconditional had underlying themes of Christianity all throughout it. And it's clear that Matty was wanting to move in that direction. No one sat you down and forced you to listen to this, or comment the hateful things that you wrote. If you don't like it, move on. You'll find something you like more. If you are about "not hating anyone" (gays, other religions or lack thereof, races, etc.) then you shouldn't be hating on Matty for writing this kind of music. It was his choice. And if you are going to spread hate because of what he writes then you are no better than the "fake Christians" that go around belittling people like you. Personally, I am a Christian and I don't hate anyone. In fact, I support gay marriage and equality for everyone. I was raised that we are all supposed to love one another, no matter what anyone else believes or chooses to do. Anyway, back to the music; while I actually don't normally like praise and worship songs, I do like this. I loved the heavier stuff that MMF as a group put out but this is a nice change. Just hoping that everyone will figure out that hating each other and being concerned with what other people do is not the answer. Have respect for all music, too. There are people behind that music.
I agree. Though I may not have the same views on gay marriage (I personally don't believe in it but I don't belittle gays for it because I was taught to love everyone.), I can still agree with what all you're saying.
Vincent Gilmore Hmmm the Church isn't against gay people, it is against gay acts. But i must agree, the gay subject should be reevaluated
Omg.. OMG Matt.. Solo... Better that Unconditional Album.
Guys, whether you're religious or not it sounds to me that Matty is super stoked to produce this album for us. He said that is his side of music he's never been able to get out through MMF. It's his soul in a way. And yes he is a Christian but that doesn't change a thing to me. I'll always be a fan to the end. I'm ecstatic this song was more of a religious one. There are so many people that need to have a rock in their life, and religion can be one of them. Even if it's not for you, it may be for someone else. That's all I'm saying. Hope I didn't offend anyone, that wasn't my purpose.
Love this. :)
It's good to see that not everyone is a judgmental prick
I commend Matty for putting out a song that's truly what he believes, whether it's about a girl or God. I support this message and I hope his faith will not be shaken by these comments of people who cannot get past some words and just listen to the music. Please grow up and at least appreciate a piece of art even if you don't agree with the message entirely, no one else cares whether you agree with Christians or not, live your damn life, be happy, whether you realize that there is a God out there that cares for you is your own personal battle.
My Dear is such a beautiful and fantastic song. I'm so excited that you decided to make a solo album, truly expressing who you love most of all, our Savior, and sharing His love with the millions of followers you have that are desperately seeking for that someone to fill that void that they feel missing. I'm so proud of you! Keep it up!
Anyone else love these lyrics.
Chills.
Yes. 💕
This song is God's perspective to us! Thank you Lord! Thank you Matty!
I'm so proud of Matty Mullins. There need to be more people in bands like his to do this kind of stuff
When i listen music i fall asleep and i dream i a wonderful world ^-^
best comment
Dear, this is not about religion! That's about the love of our father!
Religion Kills, Jesus Saves!
Thank you!!!
that's just so spot on! It's sad but true
Flaynker, what?
I hate when people come up with cheesy Christian lines. Nobody cares
Just saying, my father isnt Jesus
I envy all the people who have faith. I wish i could believe and have a light in the darkness. Thinking that there is nothing after this life makes me feel hopeless. Knowing that people who suffer in this life won't get the good things they deserve. I want to believe. I've tried to believe. I just can't.
On another note. I will stand with the Christians, Jews, Muslims and whatever people have faith in there religion. I will never bash anyone. You have a right to believe what you want. The second anyone bashes religion i will be there to back up the person being bashed.
I hope everything works out for you and you find your solace :)
Thank You!
Really refreshing hearing somebody who doesn't believe have support for those who do. Seems like today you are either a Christian, or you hate Christians
Exactly its sickening.
Best post here. At least someone sees it for what it is, and doesn't go blindly bashing others. Thanks!
I can't even listen to the whole song without wanting to cry.....wow Matty wrote this song so perfectly
Matty is personally my favorite vocalist because he has such a wide variety of pitch and tone. This just shows how versatile Matty can be. I applaud him and his endeavors, and will always be a fan of his music weather it be his solo work or with MMF.
I feel like RiseRecords isn't even a welcoming place anymore. Everyone just writes hateful stuff on videos and that can be discouraging to the bands that signed to this label. Before everyone gave positive feedback or if they didn't like it simply left it alone. But now it's become something that people just show their dislike for. We need to grow the hell up and actually help these bands grow rather them beat them up with hate.
As an atheist, these lyrics mean nothing to me. That being said, I didnt expect this from Matty and Im not sure how I feel about this. I still listen to the Hollow more than anything, not saying I dont enjoy their last two album, but I wish they would go back to that southern heavy feel. Judging off of this single release, I fear that MMF is slowly dying in my heart in favor of dropping religious fan girl panties. Ill miss you MMF :,(
RIP
This has nothing to do with MMF at all? This is just a solo album that Matty's doing that isn't related to MMF and their progress at all.
Not R.I.P.
Matty is a Christian, so of course he'd release a song like this.
No. It speaks of the way he wishes to go. Unconditional was soft. Im not hating, simply stating they stand to alienate a good portion of their fans.
Listen to their sleepwalking album. That has a much bigger southern influence. Tbh I dont hear a southern influence on The Hollow album.
Tyler Damroth that's okay by them; they want to do what they want and i can't really blame them for that
Matty has really always had a christian side of him...you saw it in the song the answer a lot on the Unconditional record MMF released I'm looking forward to everything on his self titled record.
I completely agree with you! No ordinary love, the answer, speechless, need to be, and divinity are actually all religious songs on that album
And even in The Sinner fro The Hollow album.
You don't have to be religious to love and relate to songs. I'm not religious and I could listen to Matty Mullins and other Christian bands all day. If you don't like it, don't comment and don't listen to it. You're not the one that's singing it so pipe down.
+KaylaAnne Preach
I'm not religious but this song and the positive message behind it makes me so happy
+KaylaAnne Believe it or not I'm muslim yet most of my fave bands are christian XD I'm not that religious tho so I don't care.
Thanks Matty, I needed this. I see You. He is shining through you.
Why does everyone have to bash Matty because his songs are about God? People say they can't relate. Well some people get tired of listening to negative music that surrounds sex, drugs, and just depressive stuff man. I like this inspiration. I like music that makes me think. It actual takes talent to write music like that. Anyone can write a song about negative things. Let the man speak out about his faith. Never has he said he is perfect. No one is. But at least he strives to be. May god bless you.
Everyone relates their own memories or events to his music so how about instead of arguing about religion and god we all just listen to the song and interpret it in our own way? And i'm not Christian but i'm not gonna bash someone over what they believe. Everyone just go and mind your own business
Praise God.
this is like memphis may fire and one republic had a baby
You deserve likes
Nadav Guy
i agree with you
This explains me clearly, as if The LORD wrote this song himself to me and all of y'all who feel pain and is searching for refuge. The LORD is the only one to ALWAYS be there for us when everybody else has abandoned us, he is the only one to understand are TRUE pain. He is are creator afterall.
You people are ass hats. No need to go bashing Matty for going solo with this album. I admire him for what he has done. If you don't like his solo stuff then don't listen to it. It's that simple. I'm also a Memphis May Fire fan and I also love his solo stuff. He has an amazing voice and has every right to sing about what he loves. I love that he isn't afraid to show that he is a Christian. Good job Matty!
At least the production is better than MMF's new album.
Too soon
oh
Peyton Weir lol
Same producer lol
Even the band said they knew the production was crap. The label made them sound like that. Jake especially wasn't impressed. "Rules are rules".
If you don't like the religious aspect to it, then don't listen to it. Matty even said "This is a different side of me that I think might surprise some of you", this is him talking about what HE believes, and sorry, but you have no say in that.
I actually like this song a lot! *meanwhile in the comment section.....
Im sure he didn't write this for anyone but God. Im sure he just loves that God likes it. And I'm sure he wishes that some of his fans get touched by this. He has strong faith im sure of that.
God Bless You Matty! And so God bless all the beautiful fans! 😊
So I am in love with this song. Sometimes in this world of sin and death I forget that I'm not the only one that loves God. I love songs that remind me of that.
This is clearly suppose to be God talking to us
Radiance that’s not at all what I meant
Many here have said that "there is no God." or "I know there is no God." or "Christians are wasting their lives." If I end up wasting my life in the end, so be it. But, "What If" We are really following something true? "What If" what we stand for is reality? "What If" it is you that is wasting your life? I'm not here to push my religion onto anyone, I'm just here to make a statement. I'd rather "waste" my life here on earth for the chance of something greater.
And you are not wasting anything. God appreciates you sticking by him despite everything others say. Just let your heart follow him and your belief won't ever be a waste. Trust in me. I'm not anyone special to you, but trust in my words. You are doing what you are suppose to do. Just be the best person you can be and trust in him and all those that work for him from heaven and from earth.
This makes me wanna believe in god...what a pity that i can't
You can
Chris CDog shitload of bad things in this world says something different for me
if you want to what's stopping you?
Rachel Heiks i already wrote that above
There is a ton of bad things in this world. God left us to our devices, being human and a Christian means going through suffering and trials in our lives. Earth and life is not paradise, life after earth is paradise. But God is there for us while here on earth if you go to him and allow him to be.
This is indeed meaningful and sentimental. Thumbs up for Matty's career. He should make more songs like this
This is like the best song this year! Matty Mullins, you are awesome! And God is even more awesome!!! Keep preach it dude!!!
what song's on the last part?
The Early November - In Currents
What's wrong with Matty making Christian music? If you don't like it, no one is forcing you to listen to it. Matty has always been religious and thats just who he is. He sings because he enjoys it, not to please everyone. So saying he's stupid for being religious is like saying girls are stupid for liking boys.
I believe it's about his daughter :)
[I created you piece by piece]
For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother's womb (psalms 139:13)
[Made you in my own image perfectly]
Then God said, "Let us make mankind in our image, in our likeness, so that they may rule over the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky, over the livestock and all the wild animals, and over all the creatures that move along the ground (Genesis 1:26)
[There's not a thing about you I don't adore so I paid the price that you could never afford]
For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. (John 3:16)
[So don't let go now there's so much in store!]
However, as it is written: "What no eye has seen, what no ear has heard, and what no human mind has conceived" -- the things God has prepared for those who love him. (1 Corinthians 2:9)
[Oh I loved you before you were born!]
"Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, before you were born I set you apart; I appointed you as a prophet to the nations." (Jeremiah 1:5)
This songs about God and his word and it's so beautiful God bless💙
5 years later and this song still gets me in the feels
Matty keep doing your thing. above all you define you and what you put out is a direct reflection of who you are. You have my support I'm about to pre order.
I believe that this is a song that can mean anything you want it to mean true if you try to see it from a religious standpoint sure it makes sense however personally for me it talks about a loved one that's how I feel and that's what the song means for me I think about my loved one when I hear this song basically
Matty said its from Gods point of view
ItsZifx What he's trying to say is that regardless of what an artist says his song is about, the lyrics can still have a different meaning to you and thus apply to your life in a unique way.
They sound like Memphis may fire o.o
Can't tell if that is sarcasm or not, but just in case yea Matty Mullins is the vocalist for Memphis May Fire :)
Mathis Cactus Naveed Ahmed ahahah guys I know, I was kidding ^-^
haha ok well now others may know so no harm done!
No, you weren't kidding..... :)
Matthew Felix uh? okay bro
THIS IS THE RUclips COMMENT SECTION! NO EXERCISING FREE WILL AND NO HAVING YOUR OWN OPINIONS! >:c
XD
If you were to have never heard Matty Mullins before his solo, With this you'd never believe the vocals that can come out of this mans mouth xDD. It sounds so pretty,
Why is everyone bashing this song and Christians? He has every right to sing about God. This song is amazing and I'm glad he's doing music like this. There needs to be more of it.
Stop fucking complaining about this song being about religion. I in no way, shape or form believe in God however that does not take away the fact that this song is incredible. In fact, the lyrics could have been about anything from a father or uncle or whatever.
