This band has touched my soul on more than just an emotional level but, physically. I have changed so much since finding this band not only because of their inspirational lyrics but, their stage presence. I swear, when they play every person listening becomes as one. It is so miraculous to me. Many long nights spent listening to them.. Helping me get through hardships and the understanding of pain and love all at once. Teaching me that life is beautiful and what is in it as well. They have helped me step back from my mischievous set of mind and not take for granted what is right in front of me... I could not thank them more for that. No band has ever inspired me like this one has.
Brice Scott nah...seriously..thats what life does to us...i think music is one of the most important things in life and i cant live without it because theres so much beauty in it...it changes lifes...and more than mostly only to the good side...music is something that will never end as long as humans live...and about that im 100 % sure!
As I pen these things It might literally be all I have Ink on paper Does any of this matter? Then I’m reminded of what I’ve seen The places I love and the people I’ve been Only Love could have brought me to this place Holding in me a joyful heart while spit covers my face I’ve come to forgive those who’ve wronged me Knowing that they’ve helped make me into exactly who You intended me to be I’m trying my best to be a better man Despite all my fears, I really am I write these things to remind myself That amidst this darkness, there still remains Light, Hope, and a perfect plan For the first time in my life I am writing for the sake of writing Living for the sake of living Loving for the sake of loving And I’ll live So you can call this sort of life a hopeless endeavor That this tiny vessel could ever endure such violent weather Call it pointless I’ll continue to carry out Grace none the less I will scream it till my face is blue There is a point to all of this and its always been You
Something that inspires me most about them is that they're not worried about headbanging and jumping around. They capture a beautiful melodic hardcore sound and are focused on capturing that by playing their instruments very well. There's nothing wrong with stage antics like headbanging, but their music creates an atmosphere that would be ruined if while watching them they crouched down and headbanged while playing open D. It's nice seeing their music reflected with their talent and focus.
i listen to this every single morning. not only because its a great song. but because it gives me strength. strength to be positive in a negative world. I'm able to have hope, that i can better myself, that the world can see light in the darkness. only love and respect can fix this. its easy to be negative in a negative world. but to be positive takes strength and perseverance. so, I DARE YOU ALL TO BE POSITIVE
I love this song! Some words that my sister always tells me is "It's not the Religion, but the Relationship towards God" but I try being a loyal Christian like this says "I'm trying my best, to be a better man" bcuz ever since I became one, my life changed and became better than ever! Love you Being as an Ocean! Love you God! Amen.
I dont care what beliefs you may have, this is truly amazing music. You can slander them all you want for having religious themes, it doesnt erase the fact that they're good.
"I'm trying my best, to be a better man. Despite all my fears, I really am. I write these these things to remind myself, that admist this darkness, there still remains; light, hope, and the perfect plan. For the first time in my life I am writing for the sake writing, living for the sake living, loving for the sake of loving. And I'll live. So, you can call this sort of life, a hopeless endeavor. That this tiny vessel could ever endure such violent weather." Too beautiful...
These guys played at my house a few weeks ago! They were so nice and respectful to my parents and family. I love these guys and they'll always be a part of me.
I don't belive in god, the church or christianity, but I believe, that faith is a necessary thing for us. And music, created from passion and faith will always be great. Best example.
Joel is the best human being ever. He's from where I live, and I saw him and his wife at a grocery store. I walked up and was like flipping out and I told him thank you for his music and inspiring me and all he said was "No thank you!" And gave me the biggest hug no hesitation.
I played with this band and they were so nice and didnt even introduce themselves first when they talked to us; they talked about how much they like our band and we all knew who they were. Such sincere passionate dudes who are going to take this so far
Being as an Ocean is one of the most unique bands I have ever heard. They have so much passion in their music, as well as sometimes unique uses of instruments. They are truly amazing.
People don't need to be arguing over this. I'm a proud, open atheist but it doesn't mean anything because the raw emotion and talent of this band is what has brought me here, and is what will make me continue to listen to their incredibly amazing tracks. Peace.
you believe in God or not this band stands for what they believe in and hoping in return the goodness that they show to people reflects that is God is real and alive in the peoples hearts. Its your own choice to accept Him. Thats the gift of freewill. If not of freewill we will become mindless robots being controlled. Thank God for bands like this. Positively motivating.
More than music you guys do poetry. Your lyrics are honestly some of the best lyrical works i had ever read. Ty for the amazing music keep that wonderfull work going.
Christianity has its Truth and its lies like every spiritual tradition, but its truth is worthwhile. God is the energy, the underpinning pattern, the consciousness in all things. some beleive in a personal God, some don't, but we are all experiencing the same reality. we all live in this vastly intertwined Cosmos with its many laws and endlessly repeating patterns. beauty and order somehow emerges from the seeming chaos of the Universe. this is God.
I stumbled upon this earlier today and here I am listening to this song again. I also play in the Christian hardcore scene and before the music started I could already tell this was a positive band about love, and it inspires me to see other bands doing that. Thanks men!
we have something that gives us hope and purpose. personally, i believe that my God has strengthened me and given me purpose. but what you believe is what you believe. but there is no need in being offensive.
Even though this is heavier music or whatever, this song is so calming to listen to. Cool to see a band not getting wrapped up in all the trends and fads of metal or hardcore. This stuff is just real and honost...It's what good music is all about.
I love these guys for who they are and what they do. I don't care what you think about me or the music but if all your gonna do is hate you don't deserve to post anything.
I don't even think of god when I hear this song. This song resonates with me more now that I can't believe. That's the beauty of really good music. Everyone can relate.
Dude God is FULL of beauty and love and anyone that does not show that to everyone especially people who are homosexual doesn't truly follow or understand God and the teachings of Jesus
B-E-A-U-T-I-F-U-L That is all that needs to be said, let the haters hate. I will love them, just like God does. God bless us all, we need it in this crazy world.

i agree 1,000%
You gotta say no-homo if you write a story as soft as that
Same here. I have Depression and i just love tihs band. They helped me so much!
Wesley Cocke u look like ariana grande a bit lol
Wesley Cocke Being As An Ocean and Mod Sun have both changed me in such a great way that I look at everything with a positive aspect now.
I'm literally crying right now, and I just found this band 15 min ago! So amazing.
Brice Scott thats called music orgasm ;D
Brice Scott nah...seriously..thats what life does to us...i think music is one of the most important things in life and i cant live without it because theres so much beauty in it...it changes lifes...and more than mostly only to the good side...music is something that will never end as long as humans live...and about that im 100 % sure!
I feel you. this is so beautiful.
+Jörg Mauerer That's the truest comment I've ever read...
haha nice of you^^ !!:)
I'm crying so hard right now. I don't care if I found them five minutes ago. I'm an atheist and this has brought me to tears
As I pen these things
It might literally be all I have
Ink on paper
Does any of this matter?
Then I’m reminded of what I’ve seen
The places I love and the people I’ve been
Only Love could have brought me to this place
Holding in me a joyful heart while spit covers my face
I’ve come to forgive those who’ve wronged me
Knowing that they’ve helped make me into exactly who You intended me to be
I’m trying my best to be a better man
Despite all my fears, I really am
I write these things to remind myself
That amidst this darkness, there still remains
Light, Hope, and a perfect plan
For the first time in my life
I am writing for the sake of writing
Living for the sake of living
Loving for the sake of loving
And I’ll live
So you can call this sort of life a hopeless endeavor
That this tiny vessel could ever endure such violent weather
Call it pointless
I’ll continue to carry out Grace none the less
I will scream it till my face is blue
There is a point to all of this and its always been You
I love the guitar riff in the beginning and I love the spoken word. Those are my favorite.
I thought this was a CPsilencer song lol they made one with that guitar riff

I got to meet Joel last summer and he is the most down to earth, amazing guy. ❤
Samantha L hell yea he is

Uma melodia que toca a alma, e o grito que parece até aliviar ao ser ouvido... assim é, para mim
I've been through a rough time these last past few months, I swear if it wasn't for this band I'd be dead right now.
This is incredible. I wish everyone put this much passion into their music. That's what we strive for.
"I swear on my life and my love of it I will never live for the sake of another man's life, nor ask another man to live for mine."
@L10A10 so true. can't stop. too good!!
"I'm trying my best to be better man, despite all my fears, I really am" is just so good. so good.
großartige Band.
Being as an Ocean is one of the most unique bands I have ever heard. They have so much passion in their music, as well as sometimes unique uses of instruments. They are truly amazing.
This will always be one of the best songs every written!

This band... So perfect. I can't stop listening to this CD.
Most inspirational thing I've ever heard.
