There are two kinds of artists in this world. The ones that become famous for no apparent logical reason most of which are then flipped over like a page in a boring book, and then you get artistic geniuses like Brand New whose musical legacy will get re-discovered again and again decades later by those with a raging war of morals on the inside. Finding even more questions to their questions. I have an autistic son and one should see the reaction my child has to some of their music, he just stands still and gets this stunned and relieved expression on his face that no therapist or treatment has ever done for him. It is truly a religious experience for him and it is perhaps one of the few moments where I can truly feel that we connect and for that alone they have my most loyal devotion and respect... God bless those boys and their families !
I am a Christian, and this song speaks to me, because even I am afraid of being rejected, of finding myself alone in the end. Even Christians sometimes have doubts. Doubts aren't wrong; its how you react to those doubts that determines everything.
One thing that continually draws me to brand new is the incredible depth of their songs. No matter how many times you've heard them or seen their music videos you are left in awe and deep contemplation.
I'm a non believer. I'm not Christian/ Catholic or any kind of religion. but this song is just so amazing. SO powerful. Great lyrics and some mighty good music and melody to go with it. Stop hating and enjoy the music.
Hurts to find brand new after ppl canceled them..i frequent shows n events dedicated to this era and hear not 1 single Brand New song for YEARS. Rly blows😔
@@The_Real_Priest Jesse got Me Too'd back in 2017. He also got help well before that had happened, apologized, all sorts of stuff. But people PNG'd Brand New because of it while still holding RHCP and others in reverence
"I know you're coming in the night like a thief But I've had some time, O Lord, to hone my lying technique I know you think that I'm someone you can trust But I'm scared I'll get scared and I swear I'll try to nail you back up"
I like the ending of this video. I think it is ironic how during the whole song the actor is talking to Jesus and how he does not believe he is good enough to reach heaven. In the end, he is the one who saves himself. He is the one flying circles around the church with his hand made wings. Powerful stuff.
My best friend introduced me to this band he was obsessed with them. This was his ringtone on his phone. He died in my arms 3 months ago from a heroin overdose 3 days before we were supposed to move out west. This song brings a tear to my eye every time I here it. Funny how since he past it always seems to come on the radio while im driving. I lost the only true friend I've ever had. He told me three days before he died that he wished he were dead he just gave up. Heroin addiction is hell.
I lost my daughter from an accident a little over two years ago... I wanted to show you this, and offer my condolences... “Grief cannot be compared, measured, or quantified...Healing...does not mean a quick cure; healing is putting the loss in perspective.”
i've been spiritual most of my life, i've also been at stages in my life where i didn't believe in anyone or anything. All i know is that when i was going through my severe anxiety and depression and couldn't leave my house this song helped me get through it. And now im going through something that is easily the hardest thing i've been through, and this song still is here helping me... it doesn't matter your belief or background this song is anointed with healing...
I am saddened that my son's school will not allow him to play this song on stage. Why not? It is powerful and moving. My 14 year old has been practicing on acoustic and sings it very well. Being told that he says Jesus Christ too many times in the wrong manner, tells me that they did not listen to the words. My son asked, "How would you address him if you were saying your last prayer to him?" Fabulous question, it makes me proud.
I just desperately feel the need to forget this song and rediscover it over and over, somehow even if it means losing all of the thoughts I've collected through contemplating it. I don't know.
I can relate to this song so much it's unbelievable, it literally describes depression and suicidal thoughts. i just lie down on the floor with this song on repeat and finally feel like someone understands, like I'm not alone, its unbelievably beautiful, it's funny how the simplest of tunes can make such an amazing effect
It is 2012 and Brand new still rocks my soul!! Theyre music is meaningful. music like this will never comeback! They helped me go through some rough times, I am now 24 years old and life is beautiful. brand new is beautiful. Will never forget Brand new, they will remain as memories as those years as a teen. God bless to everyone! wether you are a believer or non-beleiver, Stay safe. much love. and keep listening to great music like this.
Man it seems many people lost someone close and this artist was near to them due to good taste in music back in the day, dont worry, theyre just ahead of us and we will meet again, and you should know i had a "paranormal experience" where my whole elementary class in 2004 saw Jesus in the sky w the tunic next to Virgin Mary and Joseph actually w clothing standing on top of a cloud. Believe me or not but just wanted to share this cause it seems right. Much love
I came here because of ARTV. I was watching his American Idiot Album review and mentioned this band. OMG, this is fucking awesome. Yesterday I listened to the whole album The devil and God are raging inside me, and I almost broke in tears.
All these people complaining about Brand new being underrated, they weren’t in their peak. You just missed them. I’m sincerely apologetic, they were great at their peak.
I know the feeling, I lost my dad to the same issue 6 years back and the family has never been the same since. A lot of us aren't religious. I ain't, but this song makes you wonder and wish they're alright afterwards. Again, sorry to hear. The best thing is to try and not to understand but realize you couldn't help because he felt like he'd made up his mind. It only gnaws on your mind forever, I have nights where it happens but they still love you even though they're gone.
i'm getting bad again and i'm scared to tell anyone because I don't want to go back to the hospital. this song is what's keeping me from going insane. i'm so so so scared, but I can't give up again. too many people need me to be here.
It's sad that I found this band last year, but I'm so glad that I did, even if they are no longer together. Nevertheless, this is one of the most profound songs ever, it's just perfect.
This song has been very important to me this week. On Saturday night my friend overdosed on Paracetamol in an attempt to take his own life. In an facebook post just before the attempt he blamed his father for leaving him and the fact he felt abandoned by God. I always connected to this song for my regular, everyday teenage problems. But it wasn't until when I woke up on Sunday morning to see that post that this song really hit me. This is raw, honest and beautiful. Remember you are loved
The Greatest song from this genre (whatever name you put on it) ever written . Absolutely the pinnacle of art . When they call musicians "artists " this is what they mean!
My interpretation of the video is that the guy wants to get to heaven (having dreams and obviously wanting to fly), but his sins and burdens (all the objects piled on his back when he was walking and his feet turning to spiders) weighs him down and makes him believe he isn't good enough to reach it.
It's so comforting to know this band is still making videos for their music, And "The devil and god are raging inside me" is easily one of the best albums I've heard to date!
It is a Catholic school and they wouldn't allow it. My son proudly backed out of the showcase, but he still played for the school band. He wouldn't allow them to stifle his choice in music. We proudly stood behind his decision. He fulfilled his responsibilities without compromising and being force to play a song on their preselected list.
"I used to pray like God was listening. I used to make my parents proud. I was the glue that kept my friends together, Now they don't talk and we don't go out." He's a difficult man to dissect and has rarely talked about his religious views. From what I can find, he doesn't consider himself christian. He considers himself "spiritual"
This song will always be one of my favorites. It is beautiful in so many ways. Also, watching this video gives me chills, Brand New is truly phenomenal!
+music and video game obsessed dude I know if I ever get to see them live before they stop playing shows I will cry the entire time and when it's all over I would be okay if I died the very next day because I would have successfully completed life
I keep seeing all these comments about people who've listened to the song committing suicide. This song never made anyone commit suicide. The lyrics are just extremely relatable for people who feel lonely and depressed. When I first heard this song, I could've sworn that Jesse was inside my head and reading my thoughts. Apparently, a lot of people can relate to it. Nobody ever died because of this song. It's just a beautiful synopsis of the way that so many of us feel.
I feel like the point to him jumping with the wings and then flying is actually that he didn't really fly from those wings, he died when he fell and became an angel.
We know that people need the Lord Jesus Christ and that's why we want Him to bless everyone of you. He has moved so much in our lives (my friend and I). If it offends/upsets you.. well.. that's not our intention but we'd be dishonoring God if were to silence ourselves every time someone ridiculed Christianity or was put off by The Truth.
I feel this a personal song to God telling of how alone and abandoned he feels by God and this feeling of abandonment has lead him to doubt and resent for God and he just wants some reassurance that he is real: "I know you're coming in the night like a thief But I've had some time alone to hone my lying technique... but I'm scared I'll get scared and I swear I'll try to nail you back up so do you think that we could work out some way so I'll know it's you and that it's over so I won't even try"
Why are so many people hating on this song or making jokes about Christianity? We're not forcing you to watch this or accept Jesus as your savior, but just like Jesus, this video will always be here for you if you change your heart and mind :)
This was the first song i heard by them and everytime i hear it. It gives me the chills because its so beautiful. This song really got me through bad stuff
It's about the journey of never giving up on the dreams you had when you were a little kid. Even if the world says you can't. The roads traveled, the battles fought, the struggles encountered, the pain of the sacrifices made. It's about being lost, and doing what's necessary, regardless; to find yourself.
It’s cause the band doesn’t like music videos. They said they don’t like doing interviews or music videos. After this album they released no more and technically that never was released 🤷🏻♂️
This album didn't really stick with me when I first listened to it, I ended up not touching it for about 8 months, but then gave it another shot. I cried when I heard this song. The whole theme arced over the entire album is exactly what the name says, fighting over what is right and wrong in both your physical life and spiritual one, one that as an open-minded Christian, I deal with heavily. Brand New perfectly captures the balance between doubt and faith that every Christian has to deal with.
has anyone considered the fact that maybe the song can be interpreted on several levels? thats kind of what makes Brand New so amazing, is that there are so many things to take from their songs, all of them equally as valid and meaningful. to each his own, take from this song what youw will, it is still and incredible work of art no matter how you interpret the lyrics.
Deuteronomy 31:6 New International Version (NIV) 6 Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or terrified because of them, for the LORD your God goes with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you.”
When I was 19 and questioning my faith this song really helped me out alot. Listened to it at least 3 times a day before finally deciding that I was agnostic.
I'm in my last year of high school and I'm feeling that so much. It's relentless, and I have so few outlets. But I'm doing okay, the only advice I have for anyone going through it is just keep listening to music. It's dreadful, but I'm hoping it gets better
3 weeks ago, I poisoned myself while listenoing to this song. It didn't kill me like I wanted it to, and I'm trying to convince myself that that's for the better...
Trust that it is for the better. I pray you are still living. Human life is sacred. The Son of God died in agony for your soul. Trust Him, have faith! "17 The scroll of the prophet Isaiah was handed to [Jesus]. He unrolled the scroll and found the place where it was written, 18 “The Spirit of the Lord is upon Me (the Messiah), Because He has anointed Me to preach the good news to the poor. He has sent Me to announce release (pardon, forgiveness) to the captives, And recovery of sight to the blind, To set free those who are oppressed (downtrodden, bruised, crushed by tragedy), 19 to proclaim the favorable year of the Lord [the day when salvation and the favor of God abound greatly].” 20 Then He rolled up the scroll [having stopped in the middle of the verse], gave it back to the attendant and sat down [to teach]; and the eyes of all those in the synagogue were [attentively] fixed on Him. 21 He began speaking to them: “Today this Scripture has been fulfilled in your hearing and in your presence.” -Luke 4:17-22 AMP "9 I have loved you just as the Father has loved Me; remain in My love [and do not doubt My love for you]. 10 If you keep My commandments and obey My teaching, you will remain in My love, just as I have kept My Father’s commandments and remain in His love. 11 I have told you these things so that My joy and delight may be in you, and that your joy may be made full and complete and overflowing." -John 15:9-11 AMP
2024 and my soul still aches for this

Most meaningful comment I've ever seen put on RUclips. God bless you, your son and your family.
This comment made my eyes sweat.
As a guy with autism you ain't lying. This music literally soothes my soul and almost makes it feel like I'm not alone.
Just don't research the allegations, shit breaks my heart even still trying to separate musician from person
this aged like shit
Still here in December 2024 🎉 loved Brand New for 20 years and always will. To the PSU crew ❤

joseph swain i was just saying this the other day.... It's absolutely amazing. I can't help but be brought to tears when I see them live.
yah i cried like a little girl too.
is this song about suicidal person struggling
To me, this song is about someone struggling in their own life, so they question God; and truly wonder what comes after this.
I'm a non believer. I'm not Christian/ Catholic or any kind of religion. but this song is just so amazing. SO powerful. Great lyrics and some mighty good music and melody to go with it. Stop hating and enjoy the music.
Can't believe I just heard of these guys.. This song touches my soul

in case anyone is wondering the book he's reading near the end with the disappearing text appears to be Paradise Lost

Brand New has to be the most criminally underrated band. The musicianship and lyrical content of their albums never cease to amaze me.
The Greatest song from this genre (whatever name you put on it) ever written . Absolutely the pinnacle of art . When they call musicians "artists " this is what they mean!

This song brought me to tears tonight. Its like the read my mind and then made this song. Amazing writing.
One of my favorite music videos and songs ever

its about a guy who is actually a bird

This song will always be one of my favorites. It is beautiful in so many ways. Also, watching this video gives me chills, Brand New is truly phenomenal!
This shii makes me tear up just like death cab for cutie does.when you relate it just kills you inside
Why was this not released officially? I always thought that the album had no music videos
Jesse Lacey is the love of my life. This songs pulls on my heart more than anything. I love it.

This is sone of the very few new bands that does it for the music. Brand New is music.
"my bright is to slight to hold back all my dark" story of my life...
This song saved my life..
You have no idea how many times this song has saved my life. Seriously.
This song is just beautiful , it's so well written
This song is so amazing. I can be so happy but as soon as I hear it, I get emotional. It really speaks to me for some reason.
Brand New is my guilty pleasure. I love this band so. I cry whenever I hear this song.
Thanks for uploading this! Been a brand new fan for years, and first time I've actually come across the official video for this song :)

I feel like the point to him jumping with the wings and then flying is actually that he didn't really fly from those wings, he died when he fell and became an angel.
it's the personal opinion of the writers view on being afraid of dying.were all afraid of that day coming.its normal.beautiful.lovely
u know i'm listening this song from my childhood i think since nearly from five years!! awesome song yar!
That right there. That has to be the best explanation of the difference between religion and biblical teachings.
We know that people need the Lord Jesus Christ and that's why we want Him to bless everyone of you. He has moved so much in our lives (my friend and I). If it offends/upsets you.. well.. that's not our intention but we'd be dishonoring God if were to silence ourselves every time someone ridiculed Christianity or was put off by The Truth.
So so so so beautiful.
I feel this a personal song to God telling of how alone and abandoned he feels by God and this feeling of abandonment has lead him to doubt and resent for God and he just wants some reassurance that he is real:
"I know you're coming in the night like a thief
But I've had some time alone to hone my lying technique...
but I'm scared I'll get scared and I swear I'll try to nail you back up
so do you think that we could work out some way
so I'll know it's you and that it's over so I won't even try"
Thank you for the encouragement. Please don't give up! I never knew how many people loved my son until he was gone. I'm sure that's true of you too.

Trust that it is for the better. I pray you are still living. Human life is sacred. The Son of God died in agony for your soul. Trust Him, have faith! "17 The scroll of the prophet Isaiah was handed to [Jesus]. He unrolled the scroll and found the place where it was written,
18
“The Spirit of the Lord is upon Me (the Messiah),
Because He has anointed Me to preach the good news to the poor.
He has sent Me to announce release (pardon, forgiveness) to the captives,
And recovery of sight to the blind,
To set free those who are oppressed (downtrodden, bruised, crushed by tragedy),
19
to proclaim the favorable year of the Lord [the day when salvation and the favor of God abound greatly].”
20 Then He rolled up the scroll [having stopped in the middle of the verse], gave it back to the attendant and sat down [to teach]; and the eyes of all those in the synagogue were [attentively] fixed on Him. 21 He began speaking to them: “Today this Scripture has been fulfilled in your hearing and in your presence.” -Luke 4:17-22 AMP "9 I have loved you just as the Father has loved Me; remain in My love [and do not doubt My love for you]. 10 If you keep My commandments and obey My teaching, you will remain in My love, just as I have kept My Father’s commandments and remain in His love. 11 I have told you these things so that My joy and delight may be in you, and that your joy may be made full and complete and overflowing." -John 15:9-11 AMP
Well said. Treat others as you'd like for them to treat you.
