I'm an atheist, and I mean no disrespect, but there was always a connective quality to Relient K that allows them to connect to people of any audience. I read somewhere of a quote, that the key to making good Christian music, was making music that doesn't innately seem to disregard other peoples. I will always love Relient K.
I know this is a 2 year old comment but I feel exactly the same way. I found Relient K as a teen listening to an online radio called idobi radio and just instantly fell in love with them. I've always been an atheist, although I have to admit that as a teen I was way more open-minded about religions than I am now. Coming out as LGBTQ+ made me even more critical about the Christian pop punk bands I used to like growing up, but Relient K always stuck with me even now after 20 years and I can't think of anything negative about their lyrics.
I am 19 years old and I heard this song from a GameCube game. To this day in 2014 I still know word for word verbatim. This song got me through middle school, high school and now college. Thank you Relient K
I love how they sing such positive Christian songs, but they're not at all boring. I think they do a lot of good for young Christians especially. They are awesome!
Reminds me of a good friend from high school. Dunno where she is now, more than 15 years later, but I hope she's listening to this song reflecting on the great times we had together. Our friendship got us through a lot. I miss you Amanda!!! May you be well 💕
I remember hearing this song/seeing this video many many years ago (no later than mid 2005) and not thinking about it again....until my friend put this album on in her car in 2011. That was a fun surprise. It was so weird to hear it again after so long, but I'm glad to have rediscovered it.
I'll never forget the first time heard this song 10 years ago... I was 16 and at church camp. Since then, I've been to 3 Relient K concerts. I don't go anymore cus I feel too old. :D
hahaha this was the song that made Relient K my favorite band when I heard it a few years ago haha and even though they've changed members and style a lot they still rock to me and remain my favorite band of all time. I'm looking forward to their new stuff and Matt T.'s solo album!
Wow I'll never forget when my brother showed me this song 9 or 10 years ago. Makes me miss my childhood. Now he's out of college and has a job and I'm about to go to college. Oh, how time flies...........
I think we're going somewhere. We're on to something good here. Out of mind, out of state. Trying to keep my head on straight. I think we're going somewhere. We're on to something good here. There's only one thing left to do. Drop all I have and go with you. Somewhere back there I left my worries all behind. My problems fell out of the back of my mind. We're going and I'm never knowing (never knowing) where we're going. To go back to where I was would just be wrong. I'm pressing on. Pressing on, all my distress is going, going, gone.

back in 2002 me and my friend went to lifest in oshkosh wisconsin, after relient k's concert we got in line for their autograph we were the last 2 to get in andget their autograph matt thiessen and dave douglas were the nicest members in the band , matt t, matt h, brian and dave, i miss the good old days :(
I remember this from M-fuge back in '02' when I couldn't stand rock...now in 2012 I'm bumping and thanking God He never gave up on me through all my crap in the last decade!
can someone explain the concept of this video. i’ve never understood it. like is everything before the very end a dream of sorts? what are they about to record when the whole video has been them either performing or walking to performs so confusing 🧐 that aside, dig the tune
Don't worry friend, there's nothing wrong with that. I found your scripture references useful and creatively relative. So you were in the right. God should be given glory in any way and this was extremely appropriate. God Bless
I heard this when I was ten while playing a game and I'd sing the chorus because it was the only bit I remembered. Finding the name of a song has never been so sweet
The late 1990s and early 2000s were truly great times
You can say that again. No Facebook or tiktok
I miss it. A lot.
Wasn’t even alive yet and it makes me have nostalgia
Hell yeah it was
Fuck yes! Throw in some nofx, dash with penny wise and get on a skateboard, you can barely ride. There it is kids.

I read somewhere of a quote, that the key to making good Christian music, was making music that doesn't innately seem to disregard other peoples. I will always love Relient K.
I was technically a Christian as a kid but I had no idea what that meant.
Relient K Still rocks in 2024. I love this band.
And as an adult I find myself pressing on and heading back toward god, so I'll thank whoever is responsible for that!
Are you still an atheist?
Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me

Still pressing on in 2024
😂 at 29 now that's an understatement 🤘 Thank God for music
@@katrinakirby5877 35, pressing on, pressing on
The good ol days.
Relient K made my pre-teenhood.
guitargeekette same
Amen
Great Song 🎸
right
And I'll make your adult life ❤
I am 19 years old and I heard this song from a GameCube game. To this day in 2014 I still know word for word verbatim. This song got me through middle school, high school and now college. Thank you Relient K
do you remember the GameCube game that it is on?
Big Air
Big Air Freestyle! Loved that game myself.
It was in an episode of Power Rangers ninja storm
You still listen to it?
Gosh, I'm glad this is still on the internet.
7 years later and I totally agree.
Always come running back to these old songs from middle school.
For the longest time, I only heard this song on a toy guitar. Years later, I still think about it, which is why I'm here now. It's still great
Same here
Aahhh! I need the pop/punk glory days to make a come back
matt thiessen looks so young! Love them and their new album.
Still listening in 2019 ❤ we're definitely on to something good here 💪
I love how they sing such positive Christian songs, but they're not at all boring. I think they do a lot of good for young Christians especially. They are awesome!
Heard this song on Myspace back in 2005 or so.. I've been a fan ever since!
Why can't music like this come out today? And why can't it get popular again?
This needs to be brought back in 2024
Really wish music like this would come back in 2024
Relient K is still going strong, even though their style has changed significantly. They will always be my favorite band of all time!
reminds me of my childhood
same
Heard this song on What's New Scooby doo! Great song!
that's why im here, was just watching with my daughter
That's how I found it!
This was my favorite song when I was in high school. Still very awesome after all these years! PRESS ON! :D
Relient K, playing memorable and motivational music, no matter the year.
Long live Relient K!
I miss the good old days
I love and miss the early 2000s
This band formed in 1998, the year I was born and yet they are still around today... That shows how amazing they are.
11 years later and I find myself back here 🤔 this was the golden age
I love Relient K! This song ROCKS!!!!
haha the security guys facial expressions. this will be my favorite music video for the rest of my life
Reminds me of a good friend from high school. Dunno where she is now, more than 15 years later, but I hope she's listening to this song reflecting on the great times we had together. Our friendship got us through a lot. I miss you Amanda!!! May you be well 💕
It's crazy how they have changed their sound over the years and still sound good doing it
still an absolute banger in 2022
True Pop Punk!!
I remember hearing this song/seeing this video many many years ago (no later than mid 2005) and not thinking about it again....until my friend put this album on in her car in 2011. That was a fun surprise. It was so weird to hear it again after so long, but I'm glad to have rediscovered it.
Dem fanny packs. #2legit2quit
This song got me through a really tough time in my life. After all these years...I keep coming back to it, but as a reminder of how far I've come. ❤
"Can i have some water?"
"no sorry its not in budget"
lol
This never gets old. Never.
Life was so simple when these were the records I was playing
I'll never forget the first time heard this song 10 years ago... I was 16 and at church camp. Since then, I've been to 3 Relient K concerts. I don't go anymore cus I feel too old. :D
Thanks Paper Jamz for introducing me to this song.
Still listening in 2016 :) Pop Punk at its finest !!:)
"Can i get some water maybe?"
"No thats not in the budget."
hahahahahhahahahahah :D
this song is still to this day my favriote song! Its made me the man I am today.
God is crying up in heaven that this is what he has to listen to in all his omniscient glory as he surveys humanity instead of hard rock.
É o marcelão
hahahahahaha
Nice referência kkkkk
How could I forget about my favorite band growing up! Definitely binge listening this morning.
What's New Scooby Doo brought me here.:)
Same 😁
Same!
this was very first pop punk song I heard in the early 2000's. be hooked melodic punk every since.
I love this song. It makes a good day that much better and upbeat
It's fun to watch the awkward people dancing in the background. Especially pay attention to the guy in the Iverson jersey.
It still sounds good to hear the song again and again. It's almost 10 yrs back since i heard this song... Nice tune 👌👌👌👌👌
I liked this song then my sister told me it was a Jesus song.... now i love it so much more. Jesus is great
Just saw them tonight at when we were young in Vegas. Awesome 👏🏼
hahaha this was the song that made Relient K my favorite band when I heard it a few years ago haha and even though they've changed members and style a lot they still rock to me and remain my favorite band of all time. I'm looking forward to their new stuff and Matt T.'s solo album!
I haven't listened to these guys in forever. And yet, I can still sing all the words in time. :)
100% underrated!!!!!
Pure jam that has to played again and again!
2020 Pressin On!!! His cellphone with the antenna!! 😂
First Christian song I never heard... Still probably my favorite in 2021
5 years later and still awesome :D
This song is about God..as most their songs before the last two albums.
Lovin the fanny pack
Dude I remember when me and my brother were obsessed with this band like 6 years ago...
Wow I'll never forget when my brother showed me this song 9 or 10 years ago. Makes me miss my childhood. Now he's out of college and has a job and I'm about to go to college. Oh, how time flies...........
Yo, your boys called the fanny pack before every one else. Love this band.
How did i forget about these guys?!?
I remember back in 2002 going to a local music store to listen to this video while on high school.
Dave Douglas is my Favorite in the Band!!!!!!
" Can I get some water?"
" Its not in the budget"
hahahahahaha
I..... can't believe I used to listen to this. Wow
2020 baby
The intro is very similar to the song Makes no Difference by Sum 41 and both were released in 2001. Pretty weird...
why is the guy from outnumbered on the drums?
God I miss Brian and Dave, but Ethan, John and Jon have really helped fill the band out and branch out in ways I could have never imagined.
I think we're going somewhere.
We're on to something good here.
Out of mind, out of state.
Trying to keep my head on straight.
I think we're going somewhere.
We're on to something good here.
There's only one thing left to do.
Drop all I have and go with you.
Somewhere back there I left my worries all behind.
My problems fell out of the back of my mind.
We're going and I'm never knowing (never knowing) where we're going.
To go back to where I was would just be wrong.
I'm pressing on.
Pressing on, all my distress is going, going, gone. (pressing on, pressing on)
And I won't sit back, and take this anymore.
'Cause I'm done with that, I've got one foot out the door.
And to go back where I was would just be wrong

Love this song. Had to come watch it. The cell phones back then. LOL, how had I forgot about those.

Hahaha this is so awesome.. I miss those days when pop punk such a big deal hahaha
can someone explain the concept of this video. i’ve never understood it. like is everything before the very end a dream of sorts? what are they about to record when the whole video has been them either performing or walking to performs so confusing 🧐 that aside, dig the tune

Seeing them in 2007 at great america was so epic❤ miss those simpler times
Love this song!
love this song too bbe
look out for the gold monster
Don't worry friend, there's nothing wrong with that. I found your scripture references useful and creatively relative. So you were in the right. God should be given glory in any way and this was extremely appropriate. God Bless
First time I've ever heard this from these guys and I Love it! Awesome song and video!
I heard this when I was ten while playing a game and I'd sing the chorus because it was the only bit I remembered. Finding the name of a song has never been so sweet
My dad showed my this song and I loved it
Woww im back again to relient k
Wow, remember when this song was new... i feel old. Love Relient K :)
Been two years since I've last listened to Relient K. Totally forgotten why I loved them so much in the first place.
