Ellie My friend is pointing out all these super masculine guys online and saying: "They're so hot, how can you not like them!?!?" And I'm just like "I like guys that have personality and look like Sam Miller. "
He's not rapping, but I appreciate his poetry skills. The non-ballad verses of this song sound like something you'd hear in an art stage area where a bunch of poets start narrating. This is some good stuff
Paint me jealous, paint rage, for god's sake paint me anything, just paint, it'll brush away. That always hits me so hard. I'm an atheist but I love this song, it always makes me feel like I can start over. No matter how far. I would love to meet Paradise Fears and listen to them sing.
this song is truly exceptional.... " so bring me all the worst of the broken bruised insane, because that's the thing with music when it hits you feel no pain..."
+Chris Farrell "no matter what you did, I promise we forgave it." "there's no way that your puzzle piece fits into our puzzle wrong" Paradise Fears is the first band I ever found that really made life changing, inspirational music (now I'm head over heels in love with twenty one pilots. my love for them reminds me a lot of when I first discovered Paradise Fears). kind of disappointed they've been in the shadows for a while because they really hold a dear place in my heart.
These are talented people who deserve to be on the radio, no one on the radio provides the music that most people love and that's the problem, this band (in my opinion) is great and makes songs that is true to them and to others. Thank you Paradise Fears
My cousin died of suicide yesterday, I wish she had heard this song... Maybe.. Just maybe.. It could've saved her life.. R.I.P Isabella, every time I hear this song.. I will remember you..
R.I.P Isabella.... i didn't know you but you are in my heart as much as an own member of my family. we love you and i hope god took you for a good reason
R.I.P Isabella. I didn't know you either but you can be safe wherever you are now. It's been more than a month now and I can Bet the wound is still fresh on your cousins heart. You are dearly missed by her. I hope you're happy now that you can be yourself without caring. Goodbye forever, Isabella
I'm sorry for your loss. I didn't know her but she must have been amazing. She now looks over you from a better place. She will foreverver rest in peace.
Every time I watch this I'm scared that when she runs up to her room she's going to grab a razor from the drawer, and I'm so proud of her every time for choosing to escape. For choosing her sanctuary, music.
My name is Noelle, I'm currently only 16 years into this horrible life of mine. In late January, 2015, I lost my little sister Amelie at her young age of 11, since then this year has been extremely rough for me and my family.. I come from a broken home, and a rough past that really no one should ever have to go through including physical and sexual abuse. Early Febuary I had written out a suicide note and was ready to do it, I was going to kill myself. But a friend of mine sent me a link to this video, and from then till this current moment I have been so very in love with your music. You guys saved me and have made this year that much more tolerable knowing that no matter what your music is here for me. You guys are so very amazing and I owe you everything. Thank you. Thank you. Just, I cannot thank you enough. Please never stop making music.
This makes me happy because it's an example of how beautiful and magical music truly is. It can save lives, this goes for all types of people and all types of music. I will pray for you and your family to have a great life~
this deserves millions and millions of views and it belongs on the radio except what's super popular today is definitely not this kind of music. People as talented as the one's in Paradise Fears deserve to be highly recognized for their work instead of people who don't write their own songs and just have a huge record label behind them
I have seen Paradise Fears 4 times in the past 3 years, every time I go my life becomes more clear. At this most recent show I saw, I had this feeling of intense happiness. All I want to say is Paradise Fears, thank you for your music, thank you for your passion for your music, thank you for being the nicest, most wonderful people ever. Thank you so much.
I remember the year this song came out. It was one of the worst and darkest years I've been through. Things were about the same for about 7 years after and it wasn't until a few months ago that I truly felt better and happier and now i treasure every day that comes. I'm in a much better place than where I was and I'm very grateful. It was this song back in 2012 that gave me a crumb of hope, a sanctuary, and I'm so glad that i held on to it. hang in there everyone, this song speaks the truth -- "even broken wings can fly away"
As an agnostic person who is getting better with mental help issues, I found this song as wonderful as it helped me through that time. To anyone out there who is too overwhelmed by life, I won't say it'll get 100% better, but if you try, you may find your way out of the darkness and into the light.
Eh. Being atheist doesn't mean you can't enjoy music with religious messages or inspiration. Heck, I listen to Skillet and I THINK they're a religious band.
So many great lines in this song... "you lost the words but you found the rhyme; it's all just poetry now", "When all that's left is your voice, you've got no choice but to raise it", "paint me jealous, paint me rage, for god's sake paint me anything, just paint", and, of course, "even broken wings can fly away." What a song!
This song comforts me like a good friend. When he sang the last line, "I swear that everything would be alright." it made me cried. It made me feel less lonely, less depressed and reassured of everything would be good again sooner or later. Thank you, Paradise Fears! You guys are awesome!
This band is one of my all time favorites. They don't talk about love like most, they talk about real problems and it just makes me so happy. I also got a tweet back from them and I fangirled so hard. They truly are amazing!!
For 8 years I keep coming back to this song. For 8 years this song fixes me. For 8 years this band has saved me more than any therapist I ever had... Thank you.
This song did so much for me when I was in high school, around when this song first came out. I’m going through such a hard time and I randomly thought of this song for the first time in 7 years. I’m actually starting to feel a little less hopeless right now.
"One secret meant to keep you safe tonight... I swear that everything will be alright." The moment I heard this for the first time was the first time in so long that I actually believed it. Thank you Paradise Fears.
I want to thank these guys. Them and others like them helped me get though court battles between my parents, kept me from going off the edge and becoming a number. The scars now are faint... and time is the best healer.
I can't say it enough- I am so thankful for this song and for these six wonderful guys. They're here for me when no one else is. And they pick me up when I fall in any situation. I could thank them for the rest of my life and it wouldn't be enough.
I struggle with depression and anxiety, and while I do get help and go to therapy, I've found that nothing is more effective than the power of music. It's songs like this that make the darker days a little bit easier to get through. Thank you for this beautiful song.
I just found out Sam is publishing his first book and I came back to this video immediately for the first time in years because I remember what this band did for me in high school and I hope now Sam can change more peoples’ lives with his writing.
Loved this song for years, sitting in the hospital and this is my go to song to help keep me motivated to get through this.. still helps like I remember.
I literally cannot owe enough thanks to this song and to Paradise Fears. I clicked on this video randomly one day when I'd been going through a rough time for as long as I could remember and after watching this video I felt like I wasn't alone anymore, I had music like this and I had God, and this was the song that made me decide to go to church and ever since then my life has just turned around. Thank you, so, so much
I've been listening to this song on repeat, because it's the only thing that gets me through life right now. "Sanctuary" has given me the courage to tell someone that my grandfather is abusive, and now I finally feel like I belong in the world. To Paradise Fears: thank you for giving me the strength to raise my voice, and for teaching me that even broken wings can fly.
I don’t remember what happened exactly but there was one night after mass where I just stayed in the church long after everyone left and just sat in a pew alone and I remembered this song. Actually listening to it in a empty church like in the video made it even more powerful than normal when I’m just sitting in my room and I was able to just let everything I was feeling out and cry and listen to lyrics and knowing that it would pass was so comforting. I wish I had discovered them while they were still together and gotten to see them in concert so I could thank them in some way.
This is my one of my favorite songs. It's gotten me through so much and it makes me cry when I hear it. I love Paradise Fears so much, and I'm so thankful for them. "Even broken wings can fly away..." PS To anyone who's going through a hard time, I swear to you, it will get better. Maybe not today, maybe not this week, but soon. Please just stay strong and hold on.
Mykaela Lake I am so sorry to hear that. It takes a long, long time for everything to be okay again after you've been broken. But I swear it will, just hold on a little longer because you're worth it.
It could take so long but it's not worth the wait. I've been strong for 10 years and when something worth living for comes along then you'll appreciate it so much more. I hope... :/
Reyna Fisher Let me say something: 7 or even ten years is nothing. In the grand scheme of things, 10 years is a long time looking forward, but not back. And it DOES get better. I went through 2 suicide attempts, years of being outcasted, abused, call worthless. Useless. Stupid. Hopeless. Waste. Of. Life. And I'm here, and I survived. The trick is to just remember that one day it will get better. The tough part is getting through it, because once you're past the worst of it, you can't explain how you got better, you just DID IT. And you did it on your own. And the best part? If you can get through that, you can get through anything. Me? I went through a lot of shit to get where I am now. I was the kid in the back of the class, with his head down and earbuds in. I wasn't strong physically, and I'm still not, and I wasn't a great student. So remember: the people who think they aren't smart or strong enough turn out to be the wisest and most self-sufficient people out there. I have an abundance of friends. I'm attractive, I can say that, as in high school I never would have thought of myself as anything but an ugly piece of shit. But you grow out of it. And things get better, life moves on. Hell, even if you liked someone waaaay back who didn't like you then, guess what? They come back to you, and then you get to tell THEM no. Or yes, sometimes. Everyone is welcome on this stage that we call life. It's time we start living it. :)
I'm more thankful than anything that my friend introduced me to this band. Guys, you are one of the most influential groups I have ever seen. You save not only lives, but spirits, day after day, just by doing what you love. Thank you so much Paradise Fears. Stay gold.
i love these guys for helping people to understand that christians are not judgemental, and that we will help them, no matter what they might have done.
I listen to the song every sinlge day ive had this song on replay since a few bad things ive done and a fewbad things that happened to me. This song makes me cry all the time bc it relates to me so well. This song is so touching and so smooth. and tranquil to me. If i could ever meet paradise fears for real then. Thatd make my life a whole lot better than what it is right now...
My friend just introduced me to them and God gave me a new chance to open my eyes to see and my ears to hear and my heart to receive once again after I have been distant from his sanctuary of joy and light. I feel comfort in this song ❤️
Hey, guys: So good to watch this again. It gives me chills when you reach the crescendos toward the end! I well remember so many nights when I was working on the computer upstairs in the office of that church while listening to you guys rehearse, compose and dream downstairs. Those were the days! Proud of you all!
I have loved this song for a long time, but its the first time I've watched the video in a while and now I understand why she rubs her arm in the beginning and I noticed the blade in her dresser. It is sad how now I know how she feels and before I was confused. Oh what depression does to a person. Thank you guys for this song and this video.
Sam's very aware of depression self harm suicide ,ect . yeah theres this guys who goes to my CCYC his name is JT Mills and I literally thought he was Sam Miller so I freaked out and I went back last week again and he acted weird around me and in the prayer circle he held me hand like a couple loop but he like 2 years older than me and I like him hes always looking at my scars and on Thursday night I asked him at camp fire if I ate 8 fire balls at once if I would die hes said he hoped not but I shouldn't and I did and I didn't have water and then I guess he saw on my shirt that my tonge was bleeding and he literally yelled at me to spit them out I thought he just hated me but then I realized he was tryingto make sure I wouldn't die because he also saved me from a suicide attempt because I had fell in the grass outside and yelled his name and few others he found me crying moments from death and he made me throw up but I thought he hated me cause after I got baptized he was the only councler who didn't hug me and said they loved me and I said I was freeing cold and he said "im freezing cold and im not even soaking wet " I got so mad amd sad I started crying and running away but im still very unsure about hm hes 15 im 13 almost 14 but I think he hates me and im scared because I didn't tell my parents I redecated my self to god but yeah im afaried they tell my parents about my scars and my baptism
i don't know why, but for some reason, PF's music, Sam's voice, gives me such positive feelings. their music makes me want to push forward and get my life straight and not let my mental illness bring me down. Paradise Fears is truly a sanctuary
You are one of my favorite bands and always have been for years now. You guys amaze me with your songs and the lyrics... OH MY GOD THE LYRICS, they move me to tears. My life completely sucks and your music helps me through the crap in my life. I usually don't cry but when I need to cry, somehow I can't but when I listen to your beautiful music, I start crying right away. And even when I am not sad, your music still makes me cry because of how deep it is and how it relates to my life perfectly and I am sure to others too. You guys make me realize that it doesn't matter what I look like, I still matter and that people love me for who I am. You guys have taught me so many life lessons that I will cherish dearly. I am not just a fan, I am part of your guys family you call The Turtles because turtles rules. You have moved so many people and helped them get through life one day at a time. I don't know what I would do without you guys. You guys are my family and will be in my life forever. I love you guys so much and I mean that. You guys are my inspiration, my role models, my family. You guys make me want to live life to the fullest. I can't even describe what you guys mean to me but I tried my best. Keep marching on, you'll be a major sensation in like a year and all your hard work would of paid of and it will. And when all the fan girls get obsessed with you guys for hearing only like one of your songs, I can be like "Um...honey, you don't even know the half of it."
Sorry for writing in German but it's hard to put in words. Es gibt keine andere Band, die es schafft, Musik zu machen, die mich so sehr berührt und aufbaut wie Paradise Fears es tut. Thank you PF for making such wonderful music.
im really wondering why noone else did this already.. She said: "There is no other band thats able to make such music as inspiring and touching as Paradise Fears did
i met them and saw them 10 days ago. Sanctuary live is the best thing in the world. no lie. Sam held my hand during it because i was crying. they are the greatest guys. anyone would be so lucky to meet them.
Had a very special girl who shared this song with me 7 years ago. She was the kind of girl you met too soon to appreciate and in the end you pushed away because you thought so lowly of yourself was beautiful brunette she was Italian with a smile that could shine brighter then the sun itself. I always kick myself but she was my muse to my poetry. She was my everything and even today she's left a big hole in my chest.
Every time I'm sad (most days) I listen to this song. I get emotional every time. It calms me don't and reminds me that everything I do, someone accepts me for it. And that everything will be alright, no matter how much I think it won't. Thank you. For keeping me happy.
I can't exactly relate to the religiousness of this song but I can relate to the being lost part. It was a really inspirational song, and I loved it. I especially liked Sam's speech I cried.
Did u guys write this if u did it's so perfect and amazing and if u didn't it still perfect and amazing don't let others tell u your not amazing because if they do then they are the ones that are not perfect but none are perfect we are only different but that's what makes us perfect in our own way God bless all of u
I just found this band and now I've fallen in love. I cried my eyes out while listening this song. It gives me so much strenght, and the lyrics are so amazing.
how can people not like this song? i dont understand... this song is soo amazing it makes me cry every time Paradise Fears sing this song.. wish they would come to Texas (San Antonio)

if you're broken, paradise fears is the band to look upto
Imagine going to a church to pray and when you walk in, there's just this random band jamming out in an empty room.
I would be ecstatic.
Jade Airheart Especially if they looked like Sam Miller.
Ellie
My friend is pointing out all these super masculine guys online and saying: "They're so hot, how can you not like them!?!?" And I'm just like "I like guys that have personality and look like Sam Miller. "
Let's just hope they don't meet up with Set It Off
ive seen ur comment for years and laughed but after going to church lemme tell you thats exactly what goes on 90% of the time 😂😂
He's not rapping, but I appreciate his poetry skills. The non-ballad verses of this song sound like something you'd hear in an art stage area where a bunch of poets start narrating. This is some good stuff
Victor Bonilla it's Spoken word dude :)
I actually have his speech memorized because I love it so much
This song should be everywhere, this kept me alive for so many times, I'm alive because of these guys.
"Even broken wings can fly away"
It’s been 11 years now yet I still come back this song brings me comfort
Paint me jealous, paint rage, for god's sake paint me anything, just paint, it'll brush away.
That always hits me so hard. I'm an atheist but I love this song, it always makes me feel like I can start over. No matter how far. I would love to meet Paradise Fears and listen to them sing.
“you can always start over tomorrow”
-tyler joseph
Can we all just agree that we need to get this video to 1 million views?
Cassie L No. It needs 100 Mio!
did it
this song is truly exceptional....

+literallysydd From what I've seen, they're touring and doing concerts at the moment so yeah.
Chris Farrell as soon I read this he sung it, like exactly with me....that is awesome!
sometimes I listen to it song just to reassure myself that everything is going all right
Same and OMG do you have Percy and Annabeth as your profile picture?
+Simone de Vries yep that Percy and Annabeth
Alyssa Givens Nice :P, U have a godly parent?
+Simone de Vries no I can't decide which god/goddess fits my personality the best
Alyssa Givens No? Whatare your hobbies? xD (Mine is Hades)
These are talented people who deserve to be on the radio, no one on the radio provides the music that most people love and that's the problem, this band (in my opinion) is great and makes songs that is true to them and to others.
Thank you Paradise Fears
My cousin died of suicide yesterday, I wish she had heard this song... Maybe.. Just maybe.. It could've saved her life..
R.I.P Isabella, every time I hear this song.. I will remember you..
R.I.P Isabella....
i didn't know you but you are in my heart as much as an own member of my family.
we love you and i hope god took you for a good reason
Aww thank you so very much
R.I.P Isabella.
I didn't know you either but you can be safe wherever you are now. It's been more than a month now and I can Bet the wound is still fresh on your cousins heart. You are dearly missed by her. I hope you're happy now that you can be yourself without caring. Goodbye forever, Isabella
Rest in peace angel Isabella
I'm sorry for your loss. I didn't know her but she must have been amazing. She now looks over you from a better place. She will foreverver rest in peace.

+WhoIsNoelle? I might not know you, but I love you so much! If you ever need someone to talk to I'm here!
+Henrik Nguyen there is difference. between an attention who're and being broken maybe learn the difference before saying someone is this or that

I'm an atheist, I usually don't like religious songs for obvious reasons, but this is really beautiful and inspiring. Thank you for this song.
I'm an atheist also and I know what you mean. I love this band because of the music, it is so inspiring and makes me feel better.
same bruh I'm atheist but this really is a great song
I'm atheist and there's a lot of stupid religious songs out there but rock or pop religious songs aren't bad
Im atheist too n.n
But i love paradise fears and RED
Eh. Being atheist doesn't mean you can't enjoy music with religious messages or inspiration. Heck, I listen to Skillet and I THINK they're a religious band.
Damn all these years later and this still makes me feel something
So many great lines in this song... "you lost the words but you found the rhyme; it's all just poetry now", "When all that's left is your voice, you've got no choice but to raise it", "paint me jealous, paint me rage, for god's sake paint me anything, just paint", and, of course, "even broken wings can fly away."

this song gets me every single time

The moment I heard this for the first time was the first time in so long that I actually believed it. Thank you Paradise Fears.
THIS is music. Full of emotion. Just simply beautiful. I love Paradise Fears, you guys are amazing!
Thank you Paradise Fears.
I might not go to church but songs like these make me feel God is there and that it's all going to be okay in the end...
Hey guys and girls my life was saved due to this song
I know what you mean.
marcus alberts i’m so proud of you
I want to thank these guys. Them and others like them helped me get though court battles between my parents, kept me from going off the edge and becoming a number. The scars now are faint... and time is the best healer.

First time I listened to this song I didn't really pay attention to the lyrics. Second time I listened to it I did and I cried. Beautiful. Thank you!
This song inspired me!! And after 2 years I'm back hear listening and loving it all over again!!! ❤️
And here's the song that started it all for me
Thank you, Paradise Fears
*one of the best songs ever written:*
The way he switches to a rap all of the sudden flows so freaking well, it all fits. This song is brilliant.
I don’t remember what happened exactly but there was one night after mass where I just stayed in the church long after everyone left and just sat in a pew alone and I remembered this song. Actually listening to it in a empty church like in the video made it even more powerful than normal when I’m just sitting in my room and I was able to just let everything I was feeling out and cry and listen to lyrics and knowing that it would pass was so comforting.

They still do concerts occasionally, just not as often now :)
Listening to it after years.... its so overwhelming. THANK YOU SO MUCH PARADISE FEARS❤❤
This is my one of my favorite songs. It's gotten me through so much and it makes me cry when I hear it. I love Paradise Fears so much, and I'm so thankful for them. "Even broken wings can fly away..."
PS To anyone who's going through a hard time, I swear to you, it will get better. Maybe not today, maybe not this week, but soon. Please just stay strong and hold on.
I have been trying to stay strong for 7years it hasn't gotten better.

I am so sorry to hear that. It takes a long, long time for everything to be okay again after you've been broken. But I swear it will, just hold on a little longer because you're worth it.
It could take so long but it's not worth the wait. I've been strong for 10 years and when something worth living for comes along then you'll appreciate it so much more. I hope... :/
Reyna Fisher Let me say something: 7 or even ten years is nothing. In the grand scheme of things, 10 years is a long time looking forward, but not back. And it DOES get better. I went through 2 suicide attempts, years of being outcasted, abused, call worthless.
Useless. Stupid. Hopeless.
Waste. Of. Life.
And I'm here, and I survived. The trick is to just remember that one day it will get better. The tough part is getting through it, because once you're past the worst of it, you can't explain how you got better, you just DID IT. And you did it on your own. And the best part? If you can get through that, you can get through anything.
Me? I went through a lot of shit to get where I am now. I was the kid in the back of the class, with his head down and earbuds in. I wasn't strong physically, and I'm still not, and I wasn't a great student. So remember: the people who think they aren't smart or strong enough turn out to be the wisest and most self-sufficient people out there. I have an abundance of friends. I'm attractive, I can say that, as in high school I never would have thought of myself as anything but an ugly piece of shit.
But you grow out of it. And things get better, life moves on. Hell, even if you liked someone waaaay back who didn't like you then, guess what? They come back to you, and then you get to tell THEM no. Or yes, sometimes.
Everyone is welcome on this stage that we call life. It's time we start living it. :)
I meant it IS worth the wait!! Oh my god! *cringes*
I'm more thankful than anything that my friend introduced me to this band. Guys, you are one of the most influential groups I have ever seen. You save not only lives, but spirits, day after day, just by doing what you love. Thank you so much Paradise Fears. Stay gold.
This band...too beautiful...so inspiring. LOVE IT!
i love these guys for helping people to understand that christians are not judgemental, and that we will help them, no matter what they might have done.
It feels like my parents never stop arguing. I don't know what to do. This song helps me stay sane. Thanks.
Been 8 years now still have a hole in my chest. But this song keeps me going.
I listen to the song every sinlge day ive had this song on replay since a few bad things ive done and a fewbad things that happened to me. This song makes me cry all the time bc it relates to me so well. This song is so touching and so smooth. and tranquil to me. If i could ever meet paradise fears for real then. Thatd make my life a whole lot better than what it is right now...
hope everything is better now~
Kreme Kookie thanks
I hope you are okay
Hope you’re ok ❤️ sending love your way
I love how much energy Sam puts into their performances, it's even better live!
My friend just introduced me to them and God gave me a new chance to open my eyes to see and my ears to hear and my heart to receive once again after I have been distant from his sanctuary of joy and light. I feel comfort in this song ❤️
Hey, guys: So good to watch this again. It gives me chills when you reach the crescendos toward the end! I well remember so many nights when I was working on the computer upstairs in the office of that church while listening to you guys rehearse, compose and dream downstairs. Those were the days! Proud of you all!
I'm so happy this video is almost at one million views! this helped me through some hard times a while back
Just introduced you...can't wait.thank God.
Can we all just agree that they need more popularity.
PiKira Agreed!!!
This song saved my live, and that isn't an exaggeration. Thank you, Paradise Fears. You're the reason I'm still here.
This band is so uplifting
you keep me living. i can massively relate to this song. i hide my scars i hide my feelings i hide the true me.
I have loved this song for a long time, but its the first time I've watched the video in a while and now I understand why she rubs her arm in the beginning and I noticed the blade in her dresser. It is sad how now I know how she feels and before I was confused. Oh what depression does to a person. Thank you guys for this song and this video.
+Daniel Miller at 2:53 and 3:04 ish, they are in the heart container. They are blades normally used in construction knives
:')
Sam's very aware of depression self harm suicide ,ect . yeah theres this guys who goes to my CCYC his name is JT Mills and I literally thought he was Sam Miller so I freaked out and I went back last week again and he acted weird around me and in the prayer circle he held me hand like a couple loop but he like 2 years older than me and I like him hes always looking at my scars and on Thursday night I asked him at camp fire if I ate 8 fire balls at once if I would die hes said he hoped not but I shouldn't and I did and I didn't have water and then I guess he saw on my shirt that my tonge was bleeding and he literally yelled at me to spit them out I thought he just hated me but then I realized he was tryingto make sure I wouldn't die because he also saved me from a suicide attempt because I had fell in the grass outside and yelled his name and few others he found me crying moments from death and he made me throw up but I thought he hated me cause after I got baptized he was the only councler who didn't hug me and said they loved me and I said I was freeing cold and he said "im freezing cold and im not even soaking wet " I got so mad amd sad I started crying and running away but im still very unsure about hm hes 15 im 13 almost 14 but I think he hates me and im scared because I didn't tell my parents I redecated my self to god but yeah im afaried they tell my parents about my scars and my baptism
Delaney Clifford Oakley talk to him. tell him how he's saved you I clearly cares about you.
what i love about this music video, is the fact that sam is really that compassionate and caring in real life.
I Fucking cry on this video. Music like this, bands like this.. This kind of thing save lifes.
i don't know why, but for some reason, PF's music, Sam's voice, gives me such positive feelings. their music makes me want to push forward and get my life straight and not let my mental illness bring me down. Paradise Fears is truly a sanctuary
You are one of my favorite bands and always have been for years now. You guys amaze me with your songs and the lyrics... OH MY GOD THE LYRICS, they move me to tears. My life completely sucks and your music helps me through the crap in my life. I usually don't cry but when I need to cry, somehow I can't but when I listen to your beautiful music, I start crying right away. And even when I am not sad, your music still makes me cry because of how deep it is and how it relates to my life perfectly and I am sure to others too. You guys make me realize that it doesn't matter what I look like, I still matter and that people love me for who I am. You guys have taught me so many life lessons that I will cherish dearly. I am not just a fan, I am part of your guys family you call The Turtles because turtles rules. You have moved so many people and helped them get through life one day at a time. I don't know what I would do without you guys. You guys are my family and will be in my life forever. I love you guys so much and I mean that. You guys are my inspiration, my role models, my family. You guys make me want to live life to the fullest. I can't even describe what you guys mean to me but I tried my best. Keep marching on, you'll be a major sensation in like a year and all your hard work would of paid of and it will. And when all the fan girls get obsessed with you guys for hearing only like one of your songs, I can be like "Um...honey, you don't even know the half of it."
Same
Everytime when the speech comes on I get goosebumps. And everytime Sam says everything will be alright, even when everything is wrong, I believe him.
i just wanted to say thank you for this song it made going into recovery so much easier
Beautiful music!!! Hallelujah!!!
Sorry for writing in German but it's hard to put in words.
Es gibt keine andere Band, die es schafft, Musik zu machen, die mich so sehr berührt und aufbaut wie Paradise Fears es tut.
Thank you PF for making such wonderful music.
im really wondering why noone else did this already..
She said: "There is no other band thats able to make such music as inspiring and touching as Paradise Fears did
i met them and saw them 10 days ago. Sanctuary live is the best thing in the world. no lie. Sam held my hand during it because i was crying. they are the greatest guys. anyone would be so lucky to meet them.
His voice is so nice to listen to!
I don't understand how this doesn't have a billion or more views. I cry every time I listen to this and it gets me through the worst days.
No matter who you are, n matter what you have, trust in God and be righteous, he will give you what you need/
Had a very special girl who shared this song with me 7 years ago. She was the kind of girl you met too soon to appreciate and in the end you pushed away because you thought so lowly of yourself was beautiful brunette she was Italian with a smile that could shine brighter then the sun itself. I always kick myself but she was my muse to my poetry. She was my everything and even today she's left a big hole in my chest.
Just fount this pure awesomeness
Every time I'm sad (most days) I listen to this song. I get emotional every time. It calms me don't and reminds me that everything I do, someone accepts me for it. And that everything will be alright, no matter how much I think it won't. Thank you. For keeping me happy.
To those 81 people who disliked this vid please just go into a corner and rethink your life
Mr. Riot now its 190. But i love this song.
Yes this is amazing...
The first line describes my depression so well
mine too
Some traits of this disease are common to most of us who deal with it, they did a good job putting it to words ❤
I can't exactly relate to the religiousness of this song but I can relate to the being lost part. It was a really inspirational song, and I loved it. I especially liked Sam's speech I cried.
This song is my Sanctuary
They might just be the hope we've been looking for in our generations music. I've never felt pleasurable goosebumps in my life.
Did u guys write this if u did it's so perfect and amazing and if u didn't it still perfect and amazing don't let others tell u your not amazing because if they do then they are the ones that are not perfect but none are perfect we are only different but that's what makes us perfect in our own way God bless all of u
I was walking to work this morning when I remembered this song. This song that literally saved my life 10 years ago.
I think this sums up Christianity very well
Even though this song is a bit more on the "Christian" side, and I am an atheist, I still love this song. It never fails to pick me up when I am down
OMG!!! He's rapping!
Shiraide no not rapping but speaking poetic
Shiraide but you are not wrong
WHERE HAS THIS ENCOURAGING MUSIC BEEN ALL MY LIFE
Holy shit, that resolution
I just found this band and now I've fallen in love. I cried my eyes out while listening this song. It gives me so much strenght, and the lyrics are so amazing.
those 100 people who disliked this, truly have no taste at all what real music sounds like.
true
I've never been so moved by a song in some time. I completely adore these lyrics.
thank you so much for bringing this song to life.
when i heard the song angel with a shotgun thats when i was boosted
Okay, I nearly cried.
FOR NO FUCKING REASON. ;_;
And I swear Paradise Fears has some of the most motivational shit ever.
