Whatever happened, whatever we did or whatever we didn't do, Everything happened for a reason and it made us who we are today.. Stronger wiser and appreciative. Best of luck to you and here's to holding on to those bittersweet memories 🍻🍀✌️
My high school sweetheart, wife of 20 yrs, 25 years and 4 kids, 15 years of pastoral ministry… and she chose to leave and not try. Judah, your words coupled with the music make audible what my heart is crying out. Thank you for being real and open, swearing and all. Ironically, my ex is taking our son to see you in NYC for his 16th… wonder how the songs hit her (can’t help but wonder). Anyway, Keep going… christians and everyone really need the honesty of living this life
This song is wrecking me! I LIVED this nightmare!!! But I am so much stronger now, after The Process. I DO feel seen and heard, thank you, so very much ❤❤❤
i’m accepting this award on behalf of brian macdonald and judah akers, thank you for the honor to be nominated and to win the greatest achievement known to man!
I thought I’d already heard this song knowing the chorus, but those verses 🤯 haunting and beautiful. Such incredible talent to make poetic earworms over and over again!
This album captures the heartbreak I experienced, but somehow we pushed through. This is a time capsule for the dissolution of a marriage with someone you truly love. Nothing makes sense, you are vulnerable, angry, sad, confused and bitter. Judah's heart bleeds through on this loud and clear.
This described my early 20s to a T. Thank Jesus he pulled me out of it and made me new. I'm far from perfect but every year I can look back and see the sins shedding off and my mind becoming more Christ like.
If this song came out a decade ago, I would’ve avoided so many bad decisions I made trying to forget the first one. The decision that cost me gods greatest blessing, and realizing that I’m okay either way spending the next decade fighting for her future to be as secure is it can be. Either with me, or with him. I only pray God is with her when darkness comes for her.
2013 is hn I came across these guys and have loved everything they have shared. I think as you get older words take on different meanings and people become what they said they didn't want to be not the they tried to be that person but life happens and I think the guys portray it very well and if it comes out and a couple of words let it come out in those words You know you say them too. It takes somebody with a kind heart and a willingness to go back out there and fight for that feeling all over again as we all know a lot of us don't get a second chance some of us stay stuck some of us are here anymore I can't wait till I'm able to see them live following them this many years still haven't gone to show. In the end if you like the band we like the people you like what they talk about and what they sing about what they stand for you'll like everything about them if not you'd really don't like the band. That's all Person I saw sorry for reply
It's crazy how so many people have felt this same way. I know I am feeling it now, I'm excited to get through it seeing how many others have. There's good on the other side!
I accidentally came across this song in souncloud marked NEW, and it's just wonderful! 🤩 I 'm from Russia myself , this song has such a cool energy , you guys are great fellows !
@@brianahuggins6287 they used to write all about God and in this song they swear which the bible specifically says do not let any foul language come out of your mouth I am just saying that they are trying to follow culture and not God (fyi I am twelve so that's why you may view me as "childish"
Hey Judah, I realize you've been through some tough times and this song reflects that depth of pain. But I'd like to encourage you to think carefully about your reason for including the language that you have in this song. Though your band is not marketed for the Christian music genre, you are described as being outspoken Christians. I recently listened to a John Piper interview on how to write well (Episode 2040 on his Desiring God website) which would certainly apply to song lyrics as well. In his 7th point he states, "Our sentences do not have to be sinful in order to take sin seriously. There are powerful and creative ways to speak of the corruption and wickedness of the world without participating in it." Yes, God can take all the ugliness in our world and lives, and by his grace & forgiveness create new hearts in us that reflect our Savior. But please remember that you have a number of followers who don't need the permission you are granting to sing along in such a way. Point them to a more excellent way.
The reason this resonates with so many of us, is because of the rawness. God is not offended nor intimidated by our word choice, if you don't want to use "curse words" then don't use curse words, sing the song and swap the word out when you sing it. But dont come at this man and guilt him saying he is responsible for your feelings and the feelings of others. This is his song, his life, his expression.
Why does the audio sound so bad? Sounds like heavily distorted with tons of compression on top. And the film is way too blurry and grainy. I was so distracted.
Wow I just found out this song isn’t on the record. What an absolutely shockingly stupid decision. Stop trying to force these guys to behave a certain way.
Yes. The swear word hurts cause I really looked up to Judah being a so called follower for Christ. But it looks like he’s leaving his faith behind just like Chevelle and so many others who get fame in the mainstream market. This isn’t judging him. This is a brother in Christ calling out what I see as having one foot in the world and one foot in God. I wonder what his Pastor would say? God has called us to be set apart. I encouraged my teenage daughters to listen to Judah because he was a Christian in a secular market with great music. But I cannot endorse him any longer due to the profanity. It’s not just this song either, it’s all his newest music. The word says, I’d rather you be hot or cold, if you’re luke warm you’ll be spewed out. Choose this day who you will serve, God or Mammon?
good grief, children of God cuss, it's ok, loosen the clutch on your pearls. Shit damn, I'm going to hell and God doesn't love me anymore. High and mighty rollers let it go
@@emuwinter No one is high and mighty. The point of my post is that as a public figure and someone who claims to be a Christian, he should represent the image and character of Christ. Jesus says, "Be Holy for I am Holy". Yes we all are sinners, but once we accept Jesus we are to strive to live without sin.
@@LoneChairProductions where does it say that cussing is a sin? He's human and been through a lot. He's completely permitted to drop a cuss word or two. Stop demanding these guys fit into your alleged 'Christian' world. Their music is amazingly expressive and there's nothing wrong with using a cuss word now and again. Stop the rhetoric over something so trivial
oh yes, he is no longer a follower of Christ because he cussed. Get over yourself. It is people like you spreading this crap who are the problem to the so-called christian mentality. He is not 'so-called', HE IS! Good....leave, bye
Im on my knees, this is hitting me so hard. Oh, I remember. How I remember 😢
Whatever happened, whatever we did or whatever we didn't do, Everything happened for a reason and it made us who we are today.. Stronger wiser and appreciative. Best of luck to you and here's to holding on to those bittersweet memories 🍻🍀✌️
Wow that was fucking dark. Incredible. It took me places. I can’t wait to hear this whole record.
I needed this song, so badly, 8 years ago. Thank you, i can appreciate it more, now. After, The Process 😘🥰❤️
Like 15 years for me but yea…it looks so much different from here.
Same here. Almost 15 years ago here.
There isn’t a volume high enough to listen to this. Best full volume song ever🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻
My high school sweetheart, wife of 20 yrs, 25 years and 4 kids, 15 years of pastoral ministry… and she chose to leave and not try.

Praying for You.
Heart ache sucks
Wow. Powerful. Raw. In your face. Cathartic. Impeccably orchestrated. You all are amazing!
Already waiting for the devastating acoustic version of this song we all know we need.
This song is wrecking me! I LIVED this nightmare!!! But I am so much stronger now, after The Process. I DO feel seen and heard, thank you, so very much ❤❤❤
Certified by the Absolute Banger Association of Myself.
Congrats on this most prestigious award!
i’m accepting this award on behalf of brian macdonald and judah akers, thank you for the honor to be nominated and to win the greatest achievement known to man!
Absolutely incredible Judah! Stayed up just for this!❤

They are coming to San Diego pretty soon!
Love the new song you guys are so AMAZINGLY GIFTED THANK YOU!!
I remember feeling all of these emotions. Thank God it all is in the past.
This video is perhaps my favorite. The way it was shot, captured the feelings in a way I haven't experienced before. I watch it a lot!!! 🔥🔥🔥
I’m sure there’s a clean version ✌🏻
I thought I’d already heard this song knowing the chorus, but those verses 🤯 haunting and beautiful. Such incredible talent to make poetic earworms over and over again!
You guys are great. Been loving your music for awhile now. Another banger. God bless.
I only heard a preview on Facebook and had to find this song to hear the rest...10 years strong and dont plan on going back.
Let's gooooo!
So ❤. Hits hard and good
This album captures the heartbreak I experienced, but somehow we pushed through. This is a time capsule for the dissolution of a marriage with someone you truly love. Nothing makes sense, you are vulnerable, angry, sad, confused and bitter. Judah's heart bleeds through on this loud and clear.

Really dig this new Judah & the Lion. Leveling up 🔥
Yess. Thanks for giving me something to look forward to
I saw you and needtobreathe last night live it was amazing
And it was my first concert
Same!
Love it 100k. Definitely will be on Friday replay ! Thank you
Although we have both found love elsewhere, I can’t let go of our past because you are worth the hopeless heartache that comes with remembering.
Thank you for helping me heal through all the ups and downs. This was amazing, worth the wait ♥️
Perfection as always guys ❤

This song hits me so hard. I could have used this song 25 years ago. I harbored so much hate in my heart for so long.
I want to be your drummer bro. Charleston Sc here. Love your show in Texas. Solar eclipse 2024. When you hit that drum everybody starts jumping.
💜💜💜💜💜
Oof those third chorus changes hit hard.

Dear RUclips algorithm, this is what I want you to be suggesting to me.
I accidentally came across this song in souncloud marked NEW, and it's just wonderful! 🤩 I 'm from Russia myself , this song has such a cool energy , you guys are great fellows !
Nice ⚡⚡⚡
Amazing!
My favorite song be like:
❤❤❤
👑🦁💙💘
🔥
dude the only way i can describe this song is its like mumford and sons on morphine. damn it gets in your blood!
❤
Que música foda!!!
where did the old god loving Judah go?!😥😥😥😥😥😥😥😥
Why are you so childish that you think anything in this song suggests that they don't love God anymore?
@@brianahuggins6287 they used to write all about God and in this song they swear which the bible specifically says do not let any foul language come out of your mouth I am just saying that they are trying to follow culture and not God (fyi I am twelve so that's why you may view me as "childish"
🇧🇷❤️
🙏✝️💖😭
Goodness people did the big bad swear word hurt you 🤭🙄
Who else is zooming in to try and figure out the track list?
i
Awww got soooo close with the no swearing part😢 I was looking so forward to this!!! I'll still listen to it tho despite the swearing❤
Considering how this song is supposed to resonate with you, the swearing is perfect. If you know, you know.
incredible as always. could do without the f-bomb at the end, but you make what you want to make. can't wait for The Process
Your creativity leaps and bounds beyond curse words. I get the honesty though. I hope you got it off of your chest and can move on
Thank you to that one Evan Buckley bisexual discovery edit

here's a newsflash, God's children cuss. It's ok, loosen the clutch on your pearls
why are these fools calling it a visualizer nowadays
Judah, I like it better when you don't curse. That way I can rock out with my 9 year old to your music.
Tell your 9 year old to grow up
Your 9yo will be fine. They’ll hear it in the real world anyway.
I don’t want to sugar coat this…but the sacrifice is worth the teachable moment created through the lyrics.
I agree with you 100%. It's a sad world we live in, trying to protect our pure children. The enemy wants our children
You can’t tell an artist what not to say…dude has gone through a painful divorce. Curse words aren’t wrong
Why not keep these songs under Pink Laundry? Judah and the Lion has always been clean music. Used to let the kids listen but that's gone now.
Why does the audio sound so bad? Sounds like heavily distorted with tons of compression on top. And the film is way too blurry and grainy. I was so distracted.
Wow I just found out this song isn’t on the record. What an absolutely shockingly stupid decision. Stop trying to force these guys to behave a certain way.
They made a decision to use a curse word you cannot have your cake and eat it too. Enjoy it on RUclips and as a single on spotify
@@bens3767 it’s on the record lmao. I was wrong. They have “curse words” in other songs. Get the fuck over it.
